Notes

Bootleg quirks

There are several programs listed in the NFO that is included in the WPI's programs, but not available in the WPI listing.
UXTheme is not patched by default, despite this bootleg having unsigned themes.
All the sound is disabled by default in Big Money.

CD contents and other info

Since the CD's bootstrapper does not use EasyBoot's one, all of the bootable utilities on the CD are completely inaccessible, unless you edit the ISO to have it.
There is an unused boot image for CHNTPW 0.99.3 (named "nthack.ima") in the cdboot directory, where the EasyBoot data is stored.
There is a boot image file visible on the CD root, named "Arnes Boot Record.img".
There is a NFO file on the CD root, named "xpsp2ee.nfo", which documents everything bundled with the bootleg.

WINNT.SIF metadata

The registered owner and organization is set to "MS-USER" and "Microsoft Corporation" respectively.
