Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. The default shell has been replaced with bbLean. It has some wallpapers and new styles bundled with the new shell, along with some other goodies. It has had SATA-RAID drivers integrated into it.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

  • The setup now looks like Windows 2000's

Look and feel

  • New default theme, and wallpaper
  • 39 new bbLean styles, including the Mac OS-like styles
  • Nearly 40 wallpapers added
  • 3 new cursor sets added: Aero, Windows 8 and Mac OS El Capitan

Software

  • AmlMaple
  • Explorer++ (Russified)
  • HashTab Shell Extension 5.2.0.0

Screensavers

  • Bubbles
  • Flurry
  • Minimal Clock

Customization Utilities

  • bbLean 1.18

Updates & Drivers

  • DirectX 9.0 June 2010
  • Intel Mass Storage Drivers
  • Microsoft .NET Framework AIO (1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0)
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Hybrid (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017)

Notes

Heads up

  • The OS blue screens on boot, therefore making this bootleg non-functional. The integration of RAID storage drivers (and the host's hypervisor configuration) may explain why though.
