Windows The Avengers (also known as Windows 10 The Avengers and Windows Th E Avengers) is a bootleg Windows XP edition, released sometime in 2014 and added to the archive on December 12th, 2021. It is known for having a comically bad installer and theme, and for possibly birthing various bootleg offsprings.

Description

As the name suggests, the OS is themed after the Marvel movie The Avengers, specifically the 2012 film. Appropriately, the OS comes with several themes based on that movie (along with some other unrelated themes). By default, the theme is set to an Windows 7 Aero-esque style complete with transparent borders and effects. The bootleg has a WPI with extra software, like many others.

Despite the fact that the OS itself is in English, several pieces of software bundled with the OS comes in Arabic.
