Notes

Bootleg quirks

All of the start screen's tiles have been removed. You have to press the escape key to get back to the desktop.
The Command Prompt's foreground color is set to dark gray.
None of the PortableApps apps work, due to the PortableApps.com launcher being inside "Program Files (x86)", which the launcher does not work with.
On-ScreenKeyboard does not work.
Notepad++ and CCleaner do not exist.

CD contents and other info

There are several text files in the CD root, as per usual for Freeware Sys. One of them are instructions on how to fix a known issue in the OS, that being the desktop being a black screen, and you not being able to change the wallpaper.
