If you plan to make a YouTube video or other content using bootlegs downloaded from our site, although we can't and won't force you to do anything, we greatly appreciate attribution for the large amounts of time and effort we spend finding these bootlegs. Thank you!
Happy Pride Month, everyone!
CrustyWindows:What qualifies
What qualifies as a "bootleg"? This wiki and the Crustywindows collection uses the following definitions.
If an ISO matches two out of the four:
- Adds software
- Adds registry/program tweaks
- Modifies the theme
- Modifies the setup
then it qualifies as a bootleg under our definition. ISOs that simply add updates or drivers (i.e. Windows XP End-Of-Life Edition, Windows 7 Gen2, etc) do not qualify as "bootlegs".
Exceptions, however, are made for any ISOs with infamy or are otherwise noteworthy, i.e. Windows Longhorn Reloaded which resulted in actual legal action from Microsoft.
