Notes

Bootleg quirks

The "show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key" feature has been enabled by default.

CD contents and other info

The ISO has been modified by an external source on December 25, 2008. A file from May 15, 2009 named "xpkey.exe" has been added to the CD root.
There is a program on the CD root, in a folder titled "MakeCD". It is a batch script which creates bootable ISOs out of unpacked Windows XP distributions, typically live CDs.
There is plenty of documentation on disk. There is a README on the CD root and then there is the "Docs" folder, it contains a changelog, a forum post for the bootleg, list of applications, the raw default wallpaper and a single PortableApps configuration file.
There is WINNT.SIF on the CD root, which is configured to boot into a RAM disk from a disk image containing the live CD itself.
The autorun is removed.
The CD label is set to "WinXPLive".
