Windows CEMeNT 6.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by an65001. It released in May 2015, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021. Unlike its predecessors, it is based on Windows XP instead of Windows 2000.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 distribution, which is packaged in the EaseUS Todo Recovery format, which has to be restored through the included Windows 7 PE containing the EaseUS Todo Recovery utility which is on the CD itself.

The bootleg mostly presents itself with a skeuomorphic dark theme and aims to be identical to Windows 7 in look and feel, from small tidbits using Segoe UI as a font down to faking DWM by camouflaging Glass2k, a customization tool which is included with the OS. It comes with many useful programs and customization utilities.
