It released on October 30, 2012, and was added to the archive on July 20, 2023. There is [[Windows Galaxy XP 2013\|another bootleg]] made by the same person, which serves the same purpose Crazy Mouse does (as a matter of fact, it uses assets from it). It came out 8 months after this bootleg did. The concept is executed a lot better (because unlike this mod there aren't any "mini-bootlegs" (individual modified XP distributions coming in various themes), but rather use the OS look configuration system instead which is much more efficient), and there is more effort put into it. It has more programs than this bootleg does. * Other people have also used assets from this bootleg, such as [[Windows Al-Mohtaref]] and [[Windows Fouda XP 2012]], and more. This bootleg is one of the more popular ones for asset ripping, and would soon become inspiration for many bootleggers.▼ == Description == The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with a boot selector. Through it, you can access useful utilities like Partition Magic 8.0 Build 1242 (mislabeled as Partition Magic 8.5), Norton Ghost 2003 (cracked, registered to lk of bap) and a DOS shell (a Windows 98 boot disk). There are 9 different "mini bootlegs" bundled, which come with extra programs. You can pick which "mini bootleg" you want through the boot selector, along with the extra programs if you wish. You can also just install the regular bootleg, if you so desire. The "mini bootlegs" all serve various purposes, such as "Arabic Screen" being an Arabic version of English Windows XP (which is done by automatically applying the Arabic language on startup), and "Crystal" being Windows XP, with the CrystalXP.net theme applied onto it. Most of them have ~~recurring~~ consistencies between them, such as always changing the text-mode setup OS text, and changing the full name and organization. The bootleg itself isn't all that special - it just comes with a new look, an icon set, a Windows 7 sound scheme, and some programs. It comes with one theme and wallpaper, and changed up graphics slightly. It comes with registry tweaks. It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can access ~~things like~~ .NET Framework 2 and 4, and install the ~~included~~extra programs. It is unattended, and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 6.0.▼ ~~It comes with one theme and wallpaper, and changed up graphics slightly.

The former's Run dialog has been modified to have the Windows 7 look. The font there is corrupted, though.
