It was Benjamin Samson's third ever bootleg, after Windows Vista Xtreme Edition, which is currently lost. It is the first bootleg by the then-recently established Black Edition Team to be based on Windows Vista,[1] as all of their other bootlegs prior to this one were based on Windows XP.[1] Windows Vista Eternity 2009 is the successor to this bootleg.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows Vista SP1 ISO which comes with many programs and themes. Like many of Benjamin's other bootlegs, it comes with a cracked bootmgr and a Yahoo installer in the Programs directory.
It also comes with a new autorun which lets you install additional software, and two software packs on the CD which have keygens / cracks for their respective programs.
It is unattended and preactivated.
