'''Windows Vista Ultimate Fancy''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP SP2]] edition, which was created by [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Benjamin|Benjamin Samson]]. It released on February 2, 2008, and was added to the archive on May 30, 2023. It is [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Benjamin|Benjamin Samson]]'s first bootleg. It was originally made as a test. He published [[Windows Vista Xtreme Edition]] some months after, which is [[CrustyWindows:Lost bootlegs|currently lost]].
 
This bootleg would set an example on how Benjamin, and soon, his [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Reckons International Team|Rockers International Team]] group would make all their bootlegs afterwards. Things such as the over-the-top branding, extra software and wallpapers, and the autorun styleformat would become staples in Benjamin's bootlegs.
 
== Description ==
This bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO, with many drivers (alongintegrated. It comes with a boot selector) integrated. Through it, you can boot from the hard disk, install the bootleg or reboot. Not much to say there.
 
It is intended to be themed after [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows Vista|Windows Vista]], and does it extremely well, which is nohighly surpriseunusual and unprecedented, considering most of all the other bootlegs based on this concept fall way below the mark of looking close to Windows Vista, and do not have this insane amount of attention to detail present in this bootleg. literallyThere cameis fromeven effort put into including accurate recreations of Windows Vista's programs with similar looks and feels to its origin OS! Clearly, [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Benjamin|a (''soon-to-be'') experienced Vista bootleggerBenjamin]]. Clearly, he knewstudied the ins and outs of Windows Vista very wellclosely, longand tried as best beforeas he evencould madeto ancreate actuala realistic looking Windows Vista bootleglookalike in Windows XP, and executed it very well, in ways that no one else could have ever thought to do at the time.
 
ItAnyhow, it comes with many new programs, themes and wallpapers, and Windows Vista themed cursors and icons, along with registry tweaks. It comes with its own autorun, and specialized software packs. It has 2 software collections that drop to the Start menu's programs, one in the root of the user's Start menu, and another in the Start menu programs itself, which are subsequently split into their own categories. It is unattended and preactivated.
 
It comes with its own autorun, and specialized software packs. Through the autorun, you can access things like Internet Explorer 7 and a "Windows AeroGlass Theme" (which is just WindowBlinds 6.0 build 32 (RR Works Keygen, comes with one skin, AeroGlass)), along with the 2 specialized software collections and their respective autorun loaders. You can also access an instruction guide for the aforementioned "AeroGlass Theme".
 
It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.1.1000.0 (rebranded as Peniel Media Studio 7.0), and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 5.1.0.566. The ISO was touched up with UltraISO 7.6E.
 
== Changes from Windows XP SP2 ==
=== Minor changes ===
* The text-mode setup OS text is changed to "Windows Vista Ultimate Fancy By Benjamin Samson". All mentions of the OS have also been changed to the bootleg's name. One of the mentions had a line break up into two because it was so big.
* A very well done rendition of the Windows Vista welcome center will now open up every startup. And that could onlywould be fromthe work of the xFree Welcome Center 2.1.
