== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 95 OSR2 ISO. This bootleg is largely intended to be an enhancement to Windows 95, adding many quality of life improvements to the OS to make it easier to run and use on old computers, and the successor to Windows 95B (which this mod is based on), skipping Windows 95C which included the infamous Internet Explorer 4 and Active Desktop features entirely, thus the name, '''Windows 95D'''. The "Lite" in the name doesn't mean that it is stripped down like so you would expect, but it actually means it has a very different goal from the mod that came before it, Windows 95D. That was more of a proof-of-concept, to show that gradient titlebars are possible to get in Windows 95, by taking system files from a certain Memphis build with the functionality implemented and replacing 95's system files with it. Not in this OS, though. The goal here is to do away with all that, and focus more on bringing things that are actually useful to the table, such as pre-integrated updates and drivers to make getting them far less of a chore.
The drivers consist of mostly drivers of popular chipsets, processors, sound cards, video cards, and more. MS-DOS has been given some more spotlight in this OS, thanks to the new MS-DOS programs included. The help files have received a massive facelift - MANY invaluable tips and tricks, and detailed instructions on the dark arts of remastering Windows 95 are included.
The installation of the bundled integrations is meant to be completely seamless and not require user input, you
Unlike other bootlegs, this one is a lot more discreet and does not have any custom branding. Older versions
Speaking of CD-ROM extras, many new ones are included. First and foremost, there are the themes, which is included in a "Plus! Pack". All of the 90's era Plus! themes (Plus! 95, Plus! for Kids and Plus! 98) are included, even things like the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit, and custom themes made specifically for the OS. Some of them were ''user-submitted''!! There is also of course 3D Pinball Space Cadet, and also some videos included, among them are the Windows 95D Lite trailer including the one for the version in the archive (1.5a). There's also some beta content (from Chicago build 99) and some in-joke material in there too. And yes, Hover is still included.
== Notes ==
=== CD contents and other info ===
* A lot of extra material is included which can't be described in the Description section. They are only available in the "Full" CD, the "Base" CD don't include the extras. Overtime, older releases get stripped down to just the "base" CD to save storage space on the Razorback servers where the ISOs are hosted. Here is a list of them:
=== User information ===
* The full name is set to "Purple Belugy".
* The computer name is set to "win95dl".
