'''Windows Genius 2014''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP SP2]] edition, which was created by Hussam Mousa. It released on March 7, 2014, and was originally added to the archive inon DecemberAugust 3, 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 (which is bound to be broken, as it was meant for SP3, while this bootleg only has SP2).
 
It comes with its own boot selector. Through it, you can access "Hiren's Boot CD", which is just a generic multiboot CD.
* 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.
* Almost all Windows XP accesories (including Paint, Calculator and the built-in games) have been removed).
* The executable for Internet ExploreExplorer (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.
