== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 2000 SP4 ISO. It updates most of the UI to resemble Windows 7, but does not do it very poorlywell. It adds some wallpapers, and registry tweaks. It has some updates bundled. It has its own autorun. It is unattended, and preactivated.
 
TheThis bootleg ishas notbeen very well-maderushed, as seen in the amount of unused content found in the ISO. image,There andare howseveral vital parts of thethis bootleg that have been completely left out from thethis clearly rushedsloppily developmentdone processjob.
 
It is unattended, and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun is an AutoIt V3 script which reads from a local .GIF as its background, and is packed with UPX.

* The System Properties dialog is changed slightly
 
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* New seup graphics. The setup background is replaced with the Windows 7 one

== Software ==
=== Customization Utilities ===
 
== Notes ==
=== Unused content ===
* A list of unused content as can be seen in this bootleg can be found here:
:* There is a customization utility included in the Windows directory, that is supposed to run on startup, but it does not. Not to, mentionbecause the shortcut link that starts the program is broken. The file path goes to <code>WINNT\system32\ViOrb\ViOrb.exe</code>, but ViOrb is actually in the root of <code>system32</code>, not in its own folder in <code>system32</code>. And you know what's the best part? Since the author forgot to fixclear the working path, their '''main computer'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s path is present! From what we can see, we can infer that they used Windows 2000 or XP to make this bootleg.
:* A wallpaper is supposed to be set, but it isn't.
:* There is supposed to be a folder named "TUNING" that gets extracted to the desktop, from which you can access:
::*# The registry tweaks registry file, that gets applied during Setup, for backup purposes,
::*# A batch script that cleans the temp folders and Prefetch,
::*# And a folder named "32 bitowe ikony" (32 bit icons), which has Windows 2000 Revolutions Pack 2.0 and Windows Vista toolbar icons, which you are supposed to install manually and apply the included toolbars, to make the OS look like Vista/7.
:* Shell32.dll is supposed to have differentWindows 7 icons, but there is a duplicate which is stock, so the modified version never gets extracted and the icons will never show up.
 
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* None of the installed programs show up properly in Add/Remove Programs. Their names all show in blank.
* Internet Explorer is partially broken, as there are IE 6 updates bundled with the OS, but IE itself is still version 5.0.
 
=== CD contents and other info ===
* The CD label is set to "WinHQ_V2".
