'''Windows Mac OS XP''' (also known as '''Windows Mac OX Pro XP 2012''' (sic); also spelled '''Windows Mac Os Xp''') is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP SP3]] edition, which was created by the man, the myth, the legend,
It made its debut on approximately November the 10th, in The Year Of Our Lord 2011. It was proudly welcomed into the grand Crusty Windows archive, exactly ''5 days before the bootleg's 10th anniversary'', which would be November the 15th, in The Year Of Our Lord 2021, which would mark the first ever bootleg to be archived to Crusty Windows. Although this day planted the seeds to the legendary archive, the ISO was actually in keeps for about a year before that - ''July the 30rd, The Year Of Our Lord 2020''.
It is one of the earliest known recorded bootlegs in the archive, and the first bootleg ever archived to Crusty Windows. It was a huge source of inspiration (among many other notable bootlegs, including [[Windows 7 Assassin's Creed]]) to start the Crusty Windows project.
This bootleg is considered ''legendary'
==
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO.
The bootleg primarily focuses on theming the OS to Mac OS X's Aqua user interface, particularly Leopard's style, and including various
There have been also 16 incredible themes added, along with a fitting icon, cursor and sound set
It is forked from [[Windows Extreme Seven 2009]], another Windows mod, which is based on a similar version of Windows XP, but it is inferior, compared to the almighty Mac OS XP
It is unattended (meaning you don't have to input anything during the Setup), and preactivated (meaning you don't have to look for any product keys to enter during the Setup).
As for the tools used behind the scenes, the ISO was made with nLite 1.4.9.1, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0, and the self-extractors were made with a mix of regular 7-Zip, SFXMaker 4.62 and ''many'' variations of modified WinRAR self-extractors. The ISO was finalized with UltraISO V9.2.
== Changes
=== Minor, more miscellaneous changes ===
* The text-mode setup's OS text is changed to fit the OS. The one at the top is now labeled "Windows Xp Mac Os 2012 INSTALLATION", and the rest is labeled "Windows Xp Mac Os 2012".
* The text-mode setup's copying text is now labeled "For Windows Xp Mac Os 2012 Technical Support Please Call 011-0025203". Similarly, the OS name is changed to fit this one's. A phone number for technical support for this OS can be seen as well.
* A special post-setup macro routine which runs on startup has been added. The macro automatically creates shortcuts by taking control of the mouse and delicately positioning it in specific ways.▼
* A fully working Mac OS X Leopard style dock complete with beautiful skeuomorphic icons ripped straight from Mac OS itself has been added thanks to a program called RK Launcher being included, which now runs on startup and is positioned to the bottom, as it should be on Mac OS X.▼
* Many visual system elements such as window dialogs, menus and even the taskbar has been given a shadow with the exact precision which could only be ever replicated by the truly gifted sons of God, all thanks to a program called ''Y'z Shadow'' being included.▼
* The autorun has been completely replaced with a brand new one made with AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0.▼
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures (the calm before the storm, if you will) ===
* New setup graphics, with updated wallpapers and billboard descriptions. Leftover [[Windows Extreme Seven 2009]] branding is present.
* The setup routine has been modified to include additional software packaged in a 7-Zip self-extracting archive, which will be installed during the Setup.
* The boot screen has had its logo replaced with the Mac logo.
* New pre-OOBE graphics. The Mac OS logo is also present as well. This also introduces a new backdrop to the logo as well.
* The OOBE segment has been completely removed, as part of the unattended setup flags. Only the OOBE video, and the pre-OOBE segment
* New login graphics. It has been carefully edited to look exactly identical to the Mac OS X login screen. It is based on the Graphite version of Mac OS X Leopard's login screen.
=== A precocious attempt at the modern art that is look and feel ===
* New default Mac OS Leopard style theme. It comes with its own wallpaper and icon set. It has been set as the default theme.
* New default wallpaper. Unlike the other wallpapers, the name of the bootleg on the wallpaper is just "Windows Mac OS XP", which is where this bootleg got its name.
* 16 new themes included. Excluding "Luna", which is stock, and is not a new feature in this wonderful edition of Windows.
* A new set of 21 wallpapers has been added. The alternate name of the bootleg ("''Windows Mac OX Pro XP 2012''") and the Mac OS logo are present in all of them.
* A new screensaver has been added to the system and made the default, that being a Windows port of the Flurry screensaver from Mac OS X.▼
* New default icon set.
* New Mac OS Leopard style default cursor set.
* New default sound scheme.
▲* A new screensaver has been added to the system and made the default, that being a Windows port of the Flurry screensaver from Mac OS X.
▲* A special post-setup macro routine which runs on startup has been added. The macro automatically creates shortcuts by taking control of the mouse and delicately positioning it in specific ways.
▲* A fully working Mac OS X Leopard style dock complete with beautiful skeuomorphic icons ripped straight from Mac OS itself has been added thanks to a program called RK Launcher being included, which now runs on startup and is positioned to the bottom, as it should be on Mac OS X.
▲* Many visual system elements such as window dialogs, menus and even the taskbar has been given a shadow with the exact precision which could only be ever replicated by the truly gifted sons of God, all thanks to a program called ''Y'z Shadow'' being included.
▲* The autorun has been completely replaced with a brand new one made with AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0.
▲* OEM branding has been added. Extra Support Information is also implemented as well.
== Included programs, the few that there are ==
* Alfa Autorun Killer 2.0
* K-Lite Codec Pack 4.7.0
* Mozilla Firefox 3.6.24
* Internet Download Manager 5.18 (modified)
* Winamp 5.2.3.672
* WinRAR 3.90 (modified)
* Yahoo! Messenger 10.0.0.525
* Small.CH.A Removal (titled ''WINDOWS MAC OS VIRUS REMOVEL TOOL.EXE'' on the desktop)
** Ok, let's be honest here: Is this utility really useful other than removing one kind of trojan? Why is it even advertised as an all-purpose virus removel tool, when it is only capable of removing one piece of malware? Major Super Mario 64 blooper on the author's part, I say.
===
* Flurry
** Flurry is a built-in Mac OS X screensaver, which in this case is actually a Windows port of it someone made.

== Notes ==
=== Heads up ===
* A lot of this article is intentionally overdramatic and over-the-top, and is solely written in such ways as a joke, due to the bootleg's nature as a notable part of Crusty Windows history. Please do not take this article 100% seriously, and try not to use this article as an example on how to write future articles.
* The taskbar has been repositioned to the top of the screen, for accuracy to the Macintosh franchise. A special AutoHotkey script was used to do this.▼
=== Bootleg quirks and features ===
* The Internet Explorer default home page has been changed to "www.arabseed.com".▼
▲* The taskbar has been repositioned to the top of the screen, for accuracy to the Macintosh franchise. A special AutoHotkey script which gets executed on first boot was used to do this.
* The Mozilla Firefox default home page has been changed to "www.google.com".▼
* UXTheme, the theme engine of Windows XP, has been patched (via nLite) to allow unsigned visual styles to work, allowing the premier Mac OS theme of this OS to be experienced in all of its glory.
* Windows Mac OS XP shares many
==== De-mystifying the theme follies ====
* The "Leopard By Hamed" theme does not work due to
* The "MacOs" theme has the same problem as the "Leopard By Hamed" theme. It's supposed to use Win7PDC's assets, which is another theme that does not exist in this bootleg.▼
* Supposedly, there are 18 "MacOS" themes, but there are only 11 listed. The other 11 themes do not have "MacOS" in them, so they do exist, they're just not part of the "MacOS" themes.▼
==== Quirks in included programs ====
* Mozilla Firefox starts in Offline Mode by default.
* Mozilla Firefox comes with one bookmark, which goes to "www.ryanvm.net/forum". This is likely the site that this Firefox copy came from.
* The Mozilla Firefox self-extractor's comment is "Silent installer Mozilla Firefox 7.0.0.0", yet the actual Mozilla Firefox executable's version is specified as 3.6.24.
▲* The Internet Explorer default home page has been changed to "www.arabseed.com".
▲* The "Leopard By Hamed" theme does not work due to a broken INI file pointing at non-existent paths. The styles and cursors and icons it attempts to load has "LSP_Files" in the beginning of the path, but since that folder does not exist, the theme will not load. Additionally, the wallpaper and screensaver and sounds also point to a non-existent path, but even if you clear "LSP_Files" from the path, it still won't work because neither of those files exist in any of the directories it tries to load the files from.
▲* The Mozilla Firefox default home page has been changed to "www.google.com".
▲* The "MacOs" theme has the same problem as the "Leopard By Hamed" theme.
▲* Supposedly, there are 18 "MacOS" themes, but there are only 11 listed. The other 11 themes do not have "MacOS" in them, so they do exist, they're just not part of the "MacOS" themes.
=== CD contents and other info ===
* The CD label is set to "MAC OX PRO XP 2012". Note that the OX is a typo of "OS", which is part of Mac OS. It is not supposed to refer to the animal.
=== WINNT.SIF metadata ===
* The full name and organization is set to "Eng fouad laz" and "windows mac os". The full name preceding the Eng notation is the author's name written in English, as opposed to Arabic, which is the primary language of this author.
* The computer name is set to "MAC".
* The workgroup name is set to "mac os". This will not register, as workgroup names do not allow spaces, which seems to be a recurring mistake in other bootlegs funnily enough. Even the similarly legendary Muhamed Sadeem, who unlike Fouad Laz is way more popular, and in fact has legions of young worshippers who sacrifice their blood to him at interspersed periods on a fixed trinocturnal bicycle, messed up on [[Gold Windows XP 2016|it]].
