Description
This distribution is not really a bootleg - but more of a compiled release of a modified version of the leaked Windows Server 2003 source code built with the Windows XP Professional SKU, which is the way that omame makes their bootlegs most of the time. Keep in mind, that there is a timebomb in place. It expires 5 months after the original compile date, so that would be October 2021.
Anyways, the OS has been updated with new graphics and some interesting things have been added to it. There are not that many new additions, as this was one of the author's first attempts.
Changes from the base source
Minor changes
- The End User License Agreement that appears in the text-mode setup has been changed to the GPLv2, for humorous effect
- The logo in the System Properties has been updated
- The Winver banner has been updated
Changes in pre-desktop procedures
- New setup graphics. The UI has been updated to look more round and modern. The billboard text has also been updated, which has only one slide of text. There aren't any others.
- New boot screen. The progress bar has been modified to look like the Windows 10 one. The logos and copyright text have also been updated. The time it takes to fade in the boot screen has been lowered dramatically.
- New login graphics
Look and feel
- 5 new themes included, one of them being a "test" visual style made by the author
Notes
Breaking changes
- You need a product key for this bootleg. It's
QW32K-48T2T-3D2PJ-DXBWY-C6WRJ. - The setup will fail on the first try due to the timebomb in place. You need to change the date back in the BIOS settings to fix it.
Bootleg quirks
- The EULA link in the About Windows dialog has been changed to read "End-User Sex Agreement".
