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 5 series (which lines up with the "release date"). It includes some tweaks, some new wallpapers from said game, and some built in music. The timebomb has been removed.

The bootleg is known to be very unstable, as it constantly errors out, and you will encounter many crashes throughout.

Bootleg quirks

  • 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 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".
