JuliaOS is a bootleg Windows 10 RTM edition, which was created by an unknown author. It released on April 8, 2019, and was added to the archive on December 10, 2021.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 10 RTM ISO. It's pretty much identical to regular Windows 10 RTM, other than the fact that the default wallpaper had been intentionally altered to feature a certain someone's branding, and has the Windows logo slightly altered to feature a certain someone.

The namesake of this bootleg is the YouTube channel Julia's Tech Spot, formerly electronicwiz1 (at the time of this bootleg's creation). The context behind this bootleg's creation lies in the specific build that was used to edit and make the bootleg.

Back when this bootleg was created and in the early years of the channel's life as electronicwiz1, the owner of the channel heavily disliked anything that was "old" and much preferred anything that was "new", and was also very fixated towards seeing new Windows Insider builds (as they were part of the Insider program), and the latest updates to Windows 10, and other such. There was a particular Windows 10 build that the owner really disliked because it was "old" and "insecure", and gets very aggravated every time they hear about it or they have to install it. It became a community inside joke after a while, and then people started to intentionally try and irritate them by bothering them with it or tricking them into using the build or anything that is "old", by various means. This bootleg is one of the many instances of this happening, and that was the reason why this bootleg was made.

Changes from Windows 10 RTM

• The boot screen's Windows logo is supposed to show Julia's face, but shows up as blank instead
• New default wallpaper. The wallpaper has been changed to an altered version of the default wallpaper with the Windows logo recolored to electronicwiz1's old logo. All of the higher resolution versions have also been replaced with this version

Notes

• This bootleg took a month to complete. The wallpaper is one of the earliest things that got worked on (dated March 3, 2019). The modified Windows logo took until March 13, 2019 to complete. The other wallpapers would not get replaced until the bootleg was nearly complete.
• There is a README file on the CD root, which tells you to run "bcdedit.bat", which is also in the CD root. The aforementioned script, is a batch script, which enables test signing and restarts the computer. It will tell you to run it as administrator beforehand, though.
