The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. Like '''many''' other Windows bootlegs, this one is designed to look like Windows 7 with Aero elements which comes with most of the common customization utilities to give the system a Windows 7 look. The creators of the bootleg do not seem to be very proficient in English as it is riddled with many spelling errors, the CD and box art (which is on the CD) being no exception. It comes with plenty of themes and programs. It has a WPI. It is unattended and preactivated.
