Notes
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".
