'''Crusty Windows''' (also called '''bootleg Windows''')Bootlegs, known as '''говносборки''' (lit. "shit builds") in Russian, are illegally modified builds of the Microsoft Windows operating system. They are typically developed by eccentric individuals who wish to see their [[Windows 7 Angry Birds Edition|favorite OS and franchises collide]] or just want to include [[Chip Windows XP 2009|every driver and program in existence in their OS installs]]. Many of these bootlegs [[Windows Conan XP|are severely unstable]], [[YlayaOS|barely install or function at all]], [[Windows 7 FaceBooK Edition 2012|have nonsensical themes and wallpapers]], are [[Windows 7 Ultimate Speed Max Edition|nearly indistinguishable from the stock OS due to how painfully bland they are]], are [[Windos 7|hysterically poorly made]], or are just simply [[Windows 7 Android Rockz!|impossible to find because nobody in their right mind downloaded them]].
 
Crusty WindowsBootleg builds come in a wide variety of languages, most commonly in [[Windows 7 Angry Birds Edition|English]], [[AL 3BAAAS XP|Arabic]], [[Windows XP Ganja Edition|Polish]], [[Windows XP SP3 Orionce Edition|Spanish]], [[Windows XP SP3 Compact Edition|Chinese]], and [[Windows XP Zver CD|Russian]]. 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, funnily enough, is available for free {{link|url=https://crustywindo.ws/collection/Windows%2011/Radiant%20OS%2011%20%28TeamOS%20FBConan%29.iso|name=here}}.
 
Sometimes, Crusty Windows buildsbootlegs can extend beyond simply being modifications of the Windows OS, as Linux-based mods such as [[YLMF OS 3.0]] and [[Windows 12 Lite]] are known to exist.
 
Crowning examples of "Crusty Windows" buildsbootlegs can be named down to the likes of [[Windows 7 FaceBooK Edition 2012]], [[Windows 7 Angry Birds Edition]], [[Windows The Avengers]], [[Windows Mac OS XP]] and [[Windows Horse XP 2013]], all of them being the embodiment of what a "crusty bootleg" is.
 
== History ==
=== The Beginning ===
[[File:BedOS.jpg|thumb|200px|The BedOS 2.0 Desktop]]
 
RT 7 Lite was released in late 2010, and as such many more notable and popular bootlegs were made with it, a unique example being [[Windows 7 FaceBooK Edition 2012]].
 
=== The Present (NTLite) ===
NTLite was released in 2014, by the same person who created nLite and vLite. Much like those two, NTLite is a tool to customize Windows 7, 8.x, 10 and 11 installations. It was the first version to support multiple Windows versions. While vLite could edit Windows Vista and Windows 7 RTM, this was the first version of the series to officially support multiple Windows versions.
