Crusty Windows come in a wide variety of languages, most commonly in [[Windows XP NASA Core 2013|English]], [[AL_3BAAAS_XP|Arabic]], and [[Windows XP Zver CD|Russian]], and so far, at least one has been created in every continent (except Antarctica) - from the [[Windows AlphaBetas|good ol' USA]], to [[Tomato Garden XP 3.0|the exotic lands of the Great Wall]], to the [[Windows Mac OS XP|first traditional wonder of the ancient world]], or even [[Phoenix LiteOS 11 Pro Gamer V2|the land where maple syrup is consumed every day]] - there is always a Windows bootleg that represents someone out there.
While most bootlegs of Windows are free, a few cost money - for example, [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Lander X|Lander X]]'s bootlegs, and [[Radiant OS 11]], which requires a TeamOS VIP subscription to download, which is actually fully downloadable in the [https://crustywindo.ws/collection/Windows%2011/Radiant%20OS%2011%20%28TeamOS%20FBConan%29.iso archive].
== History ==
vLite was first released in 2006, although most bootlegs that use it were released in 2008. As many users were unable to meet Windows Vista's demanding hardware requirements at the time, most users stuck with Windows XP, and as such, vLite did not see nearly as much usage as its predecessor. It did not receive many updates and it was discontinued nearly five years before nLite.
Some early examples of vLite being used go back to [[TinyVista]] (''vLite 1.2 beta on Windows Vista SP1'') and [[Windows Vista Lite]] (''vLite 1.1.6 on Windows XP SP3'').
The last version of vLite was 1.2 Final, and it can still be downloaded on [https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/vLite.shtml Softpedia].
