No it's a special version of XP with things removed and added to make it better.

XP is so "first decade of the twenty-first century"... welcome to 2010. We do Windows 7 in the second decade of the twenty first century! 
How about Windows 7 Eternity Edition... or Windows 7 Black Edition!

It's for my old laptop so I'm thinking that XP is going to be a better option.

You can simply use your own product key to make it legal. And I have never found any viruses on it. I suppose there might be versions with viruses, but I have never come across one. I guess that was a rumour started by Microsoft to scare people away from using it.
The only turn off is that most people like to configure their own PCs the way they like them.
Can you send it to me please?
