Notes

Remarks

  • When you're reviewing this bootleg, keep in mind that the ISO does not take advantage of the Joliet file system, and therefore most hypervisors will likely end up not recognizing the ISO. You will have to edit the ISO yourself in order for them to recognize it properly.

Bootleg quirks

  • The OS has drivers for the ALS4000 and some TV tuner cards according to the documentation.
  • The sample Winamp song has been replaced with "Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is for Lovers" (yeah...)
  • Some programs are hidden in the system32 folder and the shortcuts for these exist in the Administrative Tools instead of the Start Menu.
  • The Internet Explorer title registry key is set to the computer's username.
  • The registry key for the Windows Media Player 6.4 (mplayer2.exe) title is set to -=Unlimited=-. It will disappear after the included Windows Media Player 10 has been setup.
  • QuickTime doesn't work.
  • The translator by default doesn't work correctly, due to the incorrectly set non-Unicode language.
  • The default theme's title text is centered.

CD contents and other info

  • All files on the CD are dated January 1, 2006.
