Windows Vista Alienware 2010 is a bootleg Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 edition, which was created by Benjamin Samson of Rockers International Team. It released on April 20, 2010.
Almost every copy of this mod has disappeared off the internet, however on June 15, 2023, it was found by CrustyWindows Wiki user Kon on a Russian torrent tracker known as NNMclub. It was then added to the archive 3 days later.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 ISO with drivers integrated. It comes with many programs, themes and DreamScene wallpapers. It is themed to look like Alienware, hence the name. It comes with its own autorun.
Through the autorun, you can access drivers for various things, such as the Alienware Dual Gaming Pad and Broadcom bluetooth drivers.
The ISO was made using vLite, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio.

Notes
Bootleg quirks
- You can find installers for ATI and NVIDIA display drivers, and links to Rockers International Team, the group that Benjamin was part of at the time, on the desktop.
- The Fluer theme won't work because its visual style doesn't exist at all. Its theme file references 3 different themes: xOre, Fleur-de-lis and Aero Static. The last theme is what this theme actually is, it's just mislabeled.
- The Zeus OSX theme won't work because its visual style is broken.
