* A new screensaver has been added to the system and made the default, that being a Windows port of the Flurry screensaver from Mac OS X.
 
== Included programs, the few of that there are ==
* Alfa Autorun Killer 2.0
* K-Lite Codec Pack 4.7.0
* Mozilla Firefox 3.6.24
* Internet Download Manager 5.18 (modified)
** Internet Download Manager is one of the most popular internet download managers, which boosts file downloading performance by orders of magnitude and even has a sleek looking UI which looks straight out of the 2000's2000s. It has been modified to come with one extra theme: "Koushik Halder". This is because the cracked copy of IDM came from DamasGate, a popular warez site in the Middle East. It also has also been cracked, like WinRAR has.
* Winamp 5.2.3.672
* WinRAR 3.90 (modified)
** WinRAR is a popular archiver program, even more so than 7-Zip, and out-classes even WinAce by a small margin (not FreeArc, though ;)'')''. It has been modified to be cracked and registered to "DamasGate Lover". The cracked copy of WinRAR also came from the same site mentioned earlier, DamasGate. It now comes with three themes, all of them being Vista-related: Vista WinRAR 64x, Vista Ultimate 48x48 and WINRAR Vista V7 48*48.
* Yahoo! Messenger 10.0.0.525
* Small.CH.A Removal (titled ''WINDOWS MAC OS VIRUS REMOVEL TOOL.EXE'' on the desktop)
** Ok, let's be honest here: Is this utility really useful other than removing one kind of trojan? Why is it even advertised as an all-purpose virus removel tool, when it is only capable of removing one piece of malware? Major Super Mario 64 blooper on the author's part, I say.
 
=== Screen Saviours ===
* Flurry
** Flurry is a built-in Mac OS X screensaver, which in ourthis case is actually a Windows port of it someone made.
 
=== Customization Utilities ===
 
=== Bootleg quirks and features ===
* The taskbar has been repositioned to the top of the screen, for accuracy to the Macintosh franchise. A special AutoHotkey script which gets executed on first boot was used to do this.
* UXTheme, the theme engine of Windows XP, has been patched (via nLite) to allow unsigned visual styles to work, allowing the premier Mac OS theme of this OS to be experienced in all of its glory.
* Windows Mac OS XP shares many similarities to its parent mod [[Windows Extreme Seven 2009]] internally, such as leftover Extreme Seven branding in its self-extractors and graphical setup text.
 
==== De-mystifying the theme follies ====
* The "Leopard By Hamed" theme does not work due to aits broken INItheme file pointing at non-existent paths. The styles and cursors and icons it attempts to load hashave "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 if you clear "LSP_Files" from the path, they will actually load properly and the theme will function like intended.
* The "MacOs" theme has the same problem as the "Leopard By Hamed" theme. It's supposed to use Win7PDC's assets, which is another theme that does not exist in this bootleg.
* 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.
 
==== Quirks in included programs ====
* Mozilla Firefox starts in Offline Mode by default.
* Mozilla Firefox comes with one bookmark, which goes to "www.ryanvm.net/forum". This is likely the site that this Firefox copy came from.
* The Mozilla Firefox self-extractor's comment is "Silent installer Mozilla Firefox 7.0.0.0", yet the actual Mozilla Firefox executable's version is specified as 3.6.24.
* The Internet Explorer default home page has been changed to "www.arabseed.com".
 
=== CD contents and other info ===
* The CD label is set to "MAC OX PRO XP 2012". Note that the OX is a typo of "OS", which is part of Mac OS, and it is not supposed to refer to the animal.
 
=== WINNT.SIF metadata ===
* The full name and organization is set to "Eng fouad laz" and "windows mac os". The full name preceding the Eng notation is the author's name written in English, as opposed to Arabic, which is the primary language of this author.
* The computer name is set to "MAC".
* The workgroup name is set to "mac os". This will not register, as workgroup names do not allow spaces, which seems to be a recurring mistake in other bootlegs funnily enough. Even the similarly legendary Muhamed Sadeem, who unlike Fouad Laz is way more popular, and in fact has legions of young worshippers who sacrifice their blood to him at interspersed periods on a fixed trinocturnal bicycle, messed up on [[Gold Windows XP 2016|it]].
* The workgroup name is set to "mac os".
