Windows XP 7 Genius Edition 2014 (also known as Windows Genius 2014) is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by Hussam Mousa. It released on March 7, 2014, and was originally added to the archive in December 2022, but it was re-added to the archive on November 15, 2023.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO with XPSP3 QFE UpdatePack 20130312 integrated. It comes with its own boot selector. Through it, you can access "Hiren's Boot CD", which is just a generic multiboot CD. It comes with many new programs, themes and wallpapers. It is unattended, and preactivated.
The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3 on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 5.1.

Notes
Bootleg quirks
- This bootleg draws a lot of inspiration from Windows MZM 2011 (the majority of its themes and software coming from it). It also takes influence from various other Arabic Windows bootlegs. Judging by the "First release" on the default wallpaper, this may presumably be the author's first Windows bootleg.
- You can find 7-Zip 9.20 and IDM 6.17's installer, Rufus 1.3.2, a disk labeler batch script and a copy of the author's blog as a webpage on the Desktop.
CD contents and other info
- There is a conflict with Windows Unattended CD Creator's RunOnce software installer and the setup hotfixes. Everything is located in
I386\SVCPACK
, but the software installer expects all of it to be inSoftware
on the CD, so therefore nothing will get installed. - There is a blank 34-byte batch file named
RENAME.BAT
in SVCPACK. - There is a serial number listed on the CD root as
SN#.txt
.
WINNT.SIF metadata
- The full name and organization is set to "hussam mousa" and "genius-xp" respectively.
- The computer name is set to "genius".
- The workgroup name is set to "genius.1".
