Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP2 ISO with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 2.2.1 and NR's Internet Explorer 7 English Addon Pack v1.0.9a (based on IE7 Installer 7.0.5730.13) integrated.

It comes with its own boot selector, which comes with several utilities, most of them being in DOS, and of course the actual bootleg itself.

It comes with many programs, games, themes, wallpapers and updates.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.1.
