== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 2000 SP4 ISO. The bootleg is mostly intended to be an enhancement to Windows 2000 by adding unused/beta content from various Windows releases, as per the name. It has some software bundled with it, which you can install
The ISO was made using nLite 1.0 beta 6 on Windows 2000, making it one of the earliest known bootlegs to use nLite.
== Changes from Windows 2000 SP4 ==
=== Minor changes ===
* New branding on the autorun,
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* New setup background
* New boot graphics. The boot screen has been edited to have a green and black progress bar with the author's branding on it. The logo is changed to a Windows Neptune style logo, and a Watercolor-themed window is added, with nine of the major Windows betas and releases with their corresponding Windows default shell icons
* New login graphics. Login banner is changed
=== Look and feel ===
* New icon set. The "My Computer" and "Network Neighborhood" icons have been changed. The start menu icons have been changed to their original icons from different angles in various background colors.

You can skip them just fine, it won't actually affect the installation. Both files can be restored with the Intel Indeo 5.0 installer and by copying a clean copy from a regular Windows 2000 CD (is it on the mod's ISO?) respectively.
* The icon for "My Computer" in this build
* The start button has no text and uses the 16 color Windows XP start button icon, making the taskbar resemble
* The taskbar is unlocked by default, and the Quick Launch toolbar is shown with nothing in it.
* The shortcut arrow is now a big gray arrow pointing to the top right.
* The Windows directory is titled "WINABCS" instead of the usual "WINNT".
* The Documents and Settings directory has been renamed to "Users".
=== CD contents and other info ===

=== Bugs ===
