== Description ==
This bootleg is based fromon a Windows Whistler Beta 2 build that was originally released in March 2001,. itIt is themed around Shadwyn Ylaya from the Might and Magic 5 series (which lines up with the "release date" of this bootleg). It includes some tweaks, some new wallpapers from said game, and some built inextra music. Thiswhich bootlegcontradicts isthe knownrelease fordate beingof athis dysfunctional,bootleg. bloodyThe messtimebomb thathas doesn'tbeen seemremoved, tobut workonly properlyif you count if it's in somea Virtualreally Machinejanky softwareway.
 
The bootleg is known to be very unstable, as it constantly errors out. You will encounter many crashes throughout.
==Notes==
*Most hardware will give out an error saying that it hasn't passed Windows Logo testing (even for the most simplest of hardware).
*The mouse driver literally stops working during setup.
*Some programs have been removed entirely, like WordPad for an example.
*If you install VMware Tools in this bootleg, it will literally slow down the entire OS, making it hardly even usable.
*This bootleg claims to have the timebomb removed, but if you log off and log back in, it will tell you that the evaluation period has ended, clicking OK will cause a BSOD, and render the bootleg unusable.
*Almost every mention of Windows Whistler has been replaced to "Shadwyn-Ylaya"
 
Anyhow, the ISO was created on January 2, 2020 @ 19:50:28, and modified with UltraISO 9.7.2.3561. All files on the CD are dated November 14, 2006 15:00. <code>WINLOGON.EXE</code> was edited with an evaluation copy of Resource Tuner 2.

== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* The author is suspected to be from Russia, as their name is taken from a Russian singer. The funny thing is, this mod's archive.org page claims the author is from Ubisoft. Which, if you think about it, with the constant crashing and instability it might actually not be that much of a stretch.

* At the setup product key entry screen, the example product key is replaced with an actual key, which you can use to get past the Setup screen.

* Some programs have been removed entirely, like WordPad for an example.
