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.
