Bootleg of the Month

The desktop of Windows XP AnGeL Live 2.0

Windows XP AnGeL Live 2.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Mahmoud Omar. It released on September 1, 2008, and was added to the archive on August 3, 2022.

The bootleg was downloaded from LeoO Globe, someone who reposts bootlegs on his blog for all to see and download. He has published articles of various bootlegs which are in the collection, such as Windows XP PRO SP3 VistaVG Black Blue Ultimate Style (article link), Windows 7 Ultimate Speed Max Edition (article link), Windows XP Pro SP3 Gold Cobra Edition (article link), and this mod itself (article link), which is where it was found and archived.

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is themed after Windows 7. It comes with many new programs, themes and wallpapers, and icons and cursors. It comes with its own autorun, and WPI.

It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.8, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio.
