Description

This bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 version, with RyanVM Update Pack 2.1.11 and OnePiece IE7 Update Pack 1.7.0 integrated.

It is themed to look like Mac OS X Leopard, with a dock (RocketDock 1.3.5), a modified icon pack, a few programs and a ton of WindowBlinds themes. Some parts like the first stage of the setup and login screen are completely stock. The sounds are also not modified.

The bootleg was made using nLite 1.3.5 on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8.
