Notes
Bootleg quirks
- When the Setup is copying files, the "bubbles.scr" (Windows Vista Beta 2 Bubbles Screen Saver) will "fail" to install. This is a bug in the TXTSETUP.SIF file, as both files are present on the CD and the latter is clearly demonstrated as clear as day in the Gallery.
- Styler was not installed by default, but you can install it from the CD Root
- The System root's folder name was changed to "BYTEWIN"
WINNT.SIF metadata
- The computer name is set to "GAMER".
