Windows Vista Genius is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by Mohamed Mostafa Salama. It released on February 10, 2008, and was added to the archive on April 6, 2024. It is the prequel to Windows XP Genius Edition 2010.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO, with post-SP2 updates integrated. It is advertised in the bootleg as Service Pack 3, but it is actually just SP2.

It comes with a boot selector integrated. Through it, you can access Hiren's Boot CD and Active Password Changer.

It comes with its own autorun and WPI.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0.2.0 and the bootloader used was EasyBoot 5.0.

Changes from Windows XP SP2

Minor changes

New support information is included.
The run box has been completely changed. It now has a date selector, for some reason. It is also much slower than the stock run box.

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

New setup graphics
New boot graphics
The login screen has been changed. It is designed to look like Vista, but does a bit of a poor job at it.
Before booting to the desktop, a WPI will be run.

Look and feel

A new theme has been added. Just one! It mimics Windows Vista, expected for the name of the bootleg.
