'''Windows Mac OS XP''' (also known as '''Windows Mac OX Pro XP 2012''' (sic)) is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP SP3]] edition, which was created by the man, the myth, the legend, '''Fouad Laz''' himself. It made its debut on approximately November the 10th, in The Year Of Our Lord 2011,. andIt was addedproudly towelcomed into the grand Crusty Windows archive, on November 15the 15th, in The Year Of Our Lord 2021. It is one of the earliest known recorded bootlegs in the archive, and the first bootleg ever archived to Crusty Windows. It was a huge source of inspiration (among many other notable bootlegs, including [[Windows 7 Assassin's Creed]]) to start the Crusty Windows project.
 
This bootleg is considered '''Legendary''', since it is notable to Crusty Windows and its community. This bootleg is considered one of the greatest bootlegs of all time in Crusty Windows culture, among other greats such as the likes of [[Windows The Avengers]] and [[Windows 7 Angry Birds Edition]]. Now, let's not forget [[Windows Horse XP 2013]]! It is a masterpiece in Windows bootleg making, right next to [[Windows 7 FaceBooK Edition 2012]], another legendary bootleg by the lord BossKanae.
 
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. The bootleg primarily focuses on theming the OS to Mac OS X's Aqua user interface, particularly Leopard's style, and including various (pirated) software programs and themes packaged in a self-extracting archive which is on the CD. It comes with plenty of new wallpapers for you to look at, and a beautiful interfaceto boot, thanks to quite possibly the best plagiarizing from Mac job the world has ever seen, right next to Microsoft's Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11! It is forked from [[Windows Extreme Seven 2009]], another Windows mod, which is based on a similar version of Windows XP, but it is inferior, compared to the almighty Mac OS XP. It is unattended, and preactivated.
 
As for the tools used behind the scenes, the ISO was made with nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0, and the self-extractors were made with a mix of regular 7-Zip, SFXMaker 4.62 and ''many'' variations of modified WinRAR self-extractors.

* Many visual system elements such as window dialogs, menus and even the taskbar has been given a shadow with the exact precision which could only be ever replicated by the truly gifted sons of God, all thanks to a program called Y'z Shadow being included.

== Notes ==
▲* The taskbar has been repositioned to the top of the screen, for accuracy to the Macintosh franchise. A special AutoHotKeyAutoHotkey script was used to do this.
▲* The Internet Explorer default home page has been changed to "www.arabseed.com".
▲* The Mozilla Firefox default home page has been changed to "www.google.com".
▲* UXTheme, the theme engine of Windows XP, has been patched to allow unsigned visual styles to work, allowing the Mac OS theme of this OS to be experienced in all of its glory.
* Windows Mac OS XP shares many similiarities to its parent mod [[Windows Extreme Seven 2009]] internally, such as leftover Extreme Seven branding in its self-extractors and graphical setup text.
* Mozilla Firefox starts in Offline Mode by default.
* The "Leopard By Hamed" theme does not work due to a broken INI file pointing at non-existent paths. The styles and cursors and icons it attempts to load has "LSP_Files" in the beginning of the path, but since that folder does not exist, the theme will not load. Additionally, the wallpaper and screensaver and sounds also point to a non-existent path, but even if you clear "LSP_Files" from the path, it still won't work because neither of those files exist in any of the directories it tries to load the files from.
* The "MacOs" theme has the same problem as the "Leopard By Hamed" theme.
* Supposedly, there are 18 "MacOS" themes, but there are only 11 listed. The other 11 themes do not have "MacOS" in them, so they do exist, they're just not part of the "MacOS" themes.
