YlayaOS (also known as Shadwyn Ylaya OS) is a bootleg Windows Whistler Build 2463 edition (despite the archive.org page saying it's Windows Server 2003). It supposedly would have released on November 14, 2006, but in reality it was uploaded to the Internet Archive on January 3, 2020. It was added to the archive on August 12, 2023.

Description

This bootleg is based on a Windows Whistler Beta 2 build that was released in March 2001. It is themed around Shadwyn Ylaya from the Might and Magic 5 series (which lines up with the "release date" of this bootleg). It includes some tweaks, some new wallpapers from said game, and some extra music which contradicts the release date of this bootleg. The timebomb has been removed, but only if you count if it's in a really janky way.

The bootleg is known to be very unstable, as it constantly errors out. You will encounter many crashes throughout.

Anyhow, the ISO was created on January 2, 2020 @ 19:50:28, and modified with UltraISO 9.7.2.3561. All files on the CD are dated November 14, 2006 15:00. WINLOGON.EXE was edited with an evaluation copy of Resource Tuner 2.
