YlayaOS (also known as Shadwyn Ylaya OS) is a bootleg Windows Whistler Build 2463 edition. It supposedly released in November 2006, but in reality it was uploaded to the Internet Archive in January 2020.

Description

This bootleg is based from a Windows Whistler Beta 2 build that was originally released in March 2001, and it is themed around Shadwyn Ylaya from the Might and Magic series. It includes some tweaks, some new wallpapers, and some built in music.

The bootleg is not known to be very stable, as it constantly errors out, and you will encounter many crashes throughout.

Notes

This bootleg claims to have the timebomb removed, but if you log off and log back in, it will tell you that the evaluation period has ended, clicking OK will cause a BSOD, and render the bootleg unusable.
Some programs have been removed entirely, like WordPad for an example.
Most hardware will give out an error saying that it hasn't passed Windows Logo testing (even for the most simplest of hardware).
If you install VMware Tools in this bootleg, it will slow down the entire OS, making it barely usable.
All mentions of Windows Whistler has been replaced with "Shadwyn-Ylaya".
