Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows Vista SP1 ISO. It is one of the first Windows Vista lite bootlegs. It has some registry tweaks and updates preinstalled and the typical eXPerience branding and niceties. It is unattended, and preactivated with a crack.

On the first boot of the OS, a command prompt will open, which will automatically activate Windows, and do various other things, such as installing drivers.

The ISO was made using vLite 1.2 beta on Windows Vista SP1.

  1. There is no software preinstalled.
  2. OEM branding and changes in the user information is fully present.

  3. The Windows update KB940105. It is a hotfix for nVidia users, which fixes issues with Windows' memory management.
  4. And the rest is just text files, and batch scripts which all do very useful and helpful things. There are about 4 total.
