== Description ==
== Description ==
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 box art being no exception. It is unattended and preactivated.
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is styled after Windows 7, as seen by the default theme and many of the modified graphics on the system. It comes with plenty of themes and wallpapers, along with many new programs. It comes with an autorun, and a WPI. It is unattended and preactivated.


The ISO was made using nLite and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.5.
