The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with a Windows 7 theme including sounds and icons. It comes with many customization programs, and "Additional Software" with many programs on it which you can choose to install.
 
Despite the OS name being Windows 8, this bootleg has mostly Windows 7 branding. The only Windows 8 related branding is in the logboot inscreen, the System Properties, and the login wallpaper, which is from Windows 8 Milestone 3.
 
It has a boot selector integrated, which comes with Partition Magic 8.2, Active@ Password Changer (Password Reset 3) and Norton Ghost 8.5. The first and last ones run off of a Windows ME RAM disk while the second runs off of FreeDOS.
* OEM branding is included, along with Support Information which is just a picture of the author's contact information
* The Run dialog now has a banner and an updated icon
* The Winver has been remodeled to replicate [[Windows 7XP Genius Edition 2010]]
 
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* New boot screen with Windows 8 branding and a Windows Vista loading bar
* New pre-OOBE graphics
* The OOBE video is changed to a rather strange onelooping thatanimation which lasts 30 seconds, and is just a repeating clip for its entire runtime
* New login graphics
 
* 31 new wallpapers included
* New icon set
* The sound scheme consists of Windows 7 sounds. TheCuriously, the startup and shutdown sounds areseem to be female text-to-speech voices. The startup sound has the voice say "Welcome in Windows 8 Elite".
 
== Software ==
* UltraISO Beta 6.4.1
* Dr Salman's Quick Accelerator (Fast System Tools)
* TuneUp Beta 2012 (actually a registry script, possibly a crack for TuneUp Utilities)
* CCleaner 3.04.1389 (Cleaner Final)
 
== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* "TuneUp Beta 2012" will not lead to TuneUp Utilities 2012 itself - it will just drop a Reg2EXE to your desktop. It could possibly be a crack for TuneUp Utilities.
* All themes are marked as corrupt by default due to the fact the icons they attempt to use not existing on the system. As such, all theme images have been patched to function by using the default system icons.
* There are 36 deleted images in the thumbnail cache of the Wallpapers directory.
* In the Screensaver tab, there is a text down below the screensaver selector that says "NVIDIA® Asus GeForce® 8600 GTS graphics card for Windows Vista and Microsoft® Windows® 7™".
* If you launch Dr Salman's Quick Accelerator from the Magic Programs dialog, a macro program will launch that automatically optimizes the system for you.
* TrueTransparency and Y'z Shadow do not work, because they are compressed and this bootleg doesn't come with any archivers.
* When you run "Magic Programs", it will play music on startup.
