== 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. ThisJudging 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.
* Almost all Windows XP accesories (including Paint, Calculator and the built-in games) have been removed.
* The executable for Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) is not present, however the other files are and thus you can access IE by typing in a URL in explorer.exe's address bar.
* When changing the theme, rundll32 will complain about missing EapolQec.dll, however the theme will still change successfully.
* This bootleg is known to be overall very buggy and unstable.
 
=== CD contents and other info ===
* There is a blank 34-byte batch file named <code>RENAME.BAT</code> in SVCPACK.
* There is a serial number listed on the CD root as <code>SN#.txt</code>.
* This bootleg will bugcheck on VMWare with an error code of 0x0000007E. You will have to use another hypervisor to virtualize this bootleg instead of VMware.
