The bootleg is a bootable Windows XP SP3 ISO that has a boot selector when you boot it up. It comes with Partition Magic 8.2, Active@ Password Changer (Password Reset 3) and Norton Ghost 8.5. The first and last ones run off of a Windows ME RAM disk while the second runs off of FreeDOS. It is unattended and preactivated. This bootleg was made using Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8. This bootleg comes with additional programs that you can install.
The bootleg is a modified Windows 8.1 ISO, which is heavily alien-themed. It doesn't come with many programs on its own, but to compensate it has a WPI with about 1 GB worth of programs. It is preactivated with KMSpico v10.0.5b.


Despite the OS name being Windows 8, this bootleg has Windows 7 branding. The only Windows 8 related branding is in the log in wallpaper, which is from Windows 8 Milestone 3.
The ISO was made with WinToolkit.
