Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 8.1 ISO, which is heavily alien-themed and also focuses on dark elements. It doesn't come with many programs on its own, but to compensate it has a WPI with about 1 GB worth of programs. The OS comes bundled with a cracked copy of Active@ BootDisk which you can boot from the boot selector. It is preactivated with KMSpico v10.0.5b.

The ISO was made using WinToolkit.
