Notes

Citations on information of lost bootlegs

  • Much of the information (and screenshots) on this page was taken from the DVDs edition for All Windowses CDs & DVDs Editions. The login picture without the user selector is from the eXcluzive article on this bootleg (warning: lots of NSFW - not in the OS, but in the page itself).
    Funnily enough, the description in the eXcluzive.net article, although like the one from All Windowses CDs & DVDs Editions, is copy-and-pasted from Smartflower's original description, and was hastily put through an online translator, as you can see from errors that were left in, such as "Microsoft.Net Структура 1.1" and "Нешкафчик 1.8.3".

Remarks

  • Two login screen images can be seen. One is from eXcluzive.net, the other is from All Windowses CDs & DVDs Editions. Both of them seem to be from the same person who took the pictures (which would be the author of this bootleg), just the former's eXcluzive.net watermark isn't in the original. The login screen picture seems to be a poorly cropped picture of a VM screen from what looks to be VMware 7.x.
    The two desktop images are actually there because the aforementioned All Windowses DVDs Editions entry have duplicate entries for this bootleg.
