== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 2000 SP4 distribution.
The bootleg is a modified Windows 2000 SP4 distribution, which is in the same vein of purpose as [[Windows 98 Serena Edition]], as it themes the OS after Serena from the Pokémon XY series, but it has a little more to it and has more effort put into it (as the bootleg was made by someone else and it is intended to be a followup to the existing [[Windows 98 Serena Edition]] to try to polish it a bit), such as having more wallpapers, doing away with excessive and unnecessary bloatware, actually bundling the Pokémon games in an emulator for easy access, and even a custom sound scheme.

It is packaged in the Norton Ghost image format, which has to be restored in the Symantec Ghost 11.5 utility which is on the CD itself.
 
This bootleg is best suited for VMware, particularly 10.0, which is why VMware Tools 10.0 is preinstalled on this OS.
 
== Changes from Windows 2000 SP4 ==
* New default theme, and wallpaper
* Nearly 200 new wallpapers included
* The sound scheme is a mix of the two Plus! 98 "Windows 95" themes.
* The sound scheme is a mix of the two Plus! 98 "Windows 95" themes. There are also other sounds included, such as the (fake) Longhorn "System Exclamation" sound which is assigned to the Exclamation event, the Windows CE "Critical" sound assigned to the Open program event and the "Exclamation" sound assigned to the Program error event. The startup and shutdown sounds are completely custom, which are the Windows 2000 Beta 3 startup and shutdown sounds but low-pitched, which featured some samples from DoriDori, a song also from Pokemon XY which is featured as a sample song on this OS, at the end.
** There are also other sounds included, such as the Samsung XP theme's "System Exclamation" sound which is assigned to the Exclamation event, the Windows CE "Critical" sound assigned to the Open program event and the "Exclamation" sound assigned to the Program error event.
: Additionally, the Empty Recycle Bin and both Battery Alarm events has had the default "ding" sound assigned to them.

== Software ==
* There are 5 files in the "My Music" directory, 4 of them being different variants of a song called "GettaBanBan", and one being "DoriDori".
* In the Recent Documents history, a missing link to "Daler Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun" is present. Presumably, this would have been in the OS, but was cut out shortly after.
* Presumably, theThe included program Norton Ghost 2003 iswas a leftover from when the author was backing up the bootleg after they had beenwere finished with making the bootleg.
* Amusingly, the included emulator comes with bootleg versions of the Pokémon games, such as Pokémon Chinese Emerald, Pokémon Arabic Ruby, and Pokémon Naranja, a Spanish Pokémon translation.
* There are leftover save files in the included emulator, for Pokémon Crystal.
