The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. Like '''many''' other Windows bootlegs, this one is designed to look and have the Windows 7 aesthetic to it. This includes the login screen, the widgets and the taskbar. Loading up winver, it detects the OS as Windows Vista Ultimate (RED), meaning it could have taken some resources from it.
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with DriverPack version 12.09 integrated. It comes with many themes and wallpapers, and programs. It is unattended and preactivated.


The bootleg was made using nLite and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8.
