Windows Vista Extreme Edition R2 is a bootleg Windows Vista SP1 edition, which was created by Amit Talkin of Project-OS. It released in December 2008, and was added to the archive on April 15, 2023.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows Vista SP1 ISO, which comes with DriverPacks from November 30, 2008 integrated. It is similar in the quantity of software and themes added to the bootleg to Windows Vista Kagome Titanium SP2 Edition (although this bootleg isn't based on Windows Vista SP2), and also in size, although it's slightly smaller. It has many programs, gadgets, themes, some DreamScene wallpapers, updates and tweaks added.
It has a new setup selector integrated into the initial setup. From it, you can launch some system programs like the Command Prompt and Task Manager, and even Process Explorer v11.21 and Process Monitor v2.02. You can also start network services and launch the Windows Recovery Wizard from there. The bootleg also comes with its own autorun.
Through that, you can access Release Notes (in HTML format), which shows a pretty extensive list of changes for this bootleg, a "64bit Extreme Edition® R2" link which goes to the author's official Extreme Edition site (which would presumably explain the 64-bit release and how it would be paid), a "Donate" link which takes you to the author's PayPal, and finally, a "OS Support" link which takes you to Project-OS, the author's "company" of sorts.
On the first boot of the OS, two message boxes will show up asking you if you want to disable Superfetch (for 1GB or lower RAM), and enable DreamScene respectively.
The autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.0.
