Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPack integrated. It styles the OS with a Windows Vista theme and includes some updates and drivers. The bootleg mostly aims towards gamers who are looking for the best possible performance, therefore this bootleg strips a lot of things out, and tries its best to optimize the system as much as possible. Yes, more so than AltasOS! But unlike AtlasOS, it does not remove System Restore or the firewall just to achieve its purpose. In an ironic twist, it even removes the standard games despite it being titled "Game Edition"! It is unattended and preactivated.

The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1 on Windows Vista SP1.

Notes

• The Vista theme included in the bootleg is notable for having a pixel-accurate taskbar, which is rare to see in other bootlegs with bundled Vista themes. Very impressive for such an old theme, as the msstyles file is dated November 2006.
