The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP2 ISO. It's mostly the same bootleg as TinyXP, but with a "Beast" look and a theme included. It comes with plenty of programs for you to use.

It comes with many critical post-SP2 hotfixes. It comes with registry tweaks. It is unattended, and preactivated.
