[[File:BedOS.jpg|thumb|200px|BedOS Desktop]]
The first bootleg variation of Windows was likely [[BedOS]], which was released in 2000 (though bootlegs of [[:Category:Bootlegs based on MS-DOS|MS-DOS]] are known to have existed before this.)
This OS had a Russian and English release, but required an existing Windows 95 or Windows 98 install, making it more akin to a [[Draft:Transformation pack|transformation pack]] rather than a standalone OS. Still, this OS laid the foundations seen in modern bootlegs - adding a custom theme, custom icons, additional drivers and programs, as well as removing some programs. It was a very important OS for kicking off the Russian bootleg scene and thus the bootleg scene as a whole.
