Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, but not just any old XP bootleg, this one has bbLean as the shell, hence the name, Windows XP BlackBox! It has some wallpapers and new styles bundled with the new shell, along with some other goodies. It has had SATA-RAID drivers integrated into it. It is unattended and preactivated.

The bootleg was made using nLite.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

  • The setup engine uses Windows 2000's
  • 39 new bbLean styles, including the Mac OS-like styles
  • Nearly 40 wallpapers added
  • 3 new cursor sets added: Aero, Windows 8 and Mac OS El Capitan

Software

  • HashTab Shell Extension 5.2.0.0
  • AmlMaple
  • Explorer++ (Russified)

Screensavers

  • Bubbles
  • Flurry
  • Minimal Clock

Customization Utilities

  • bbLean 1.18

Updates & Drivers

  • Microsoft .NET Framework AIO (1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0)
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Hybrid (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017)
  • DirectX 9.0 June 2010
  • Intel Mass Storage Drivers

Notes

  • The OS blue screens on boot, therefore making this bootleg non-functional. The integration of RAID storage drivers (and the host's hypervisor configuration) may explain why though.
