'''Windows Crystal XP
▲'''Crystal XP 2006''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP SP2]] edition, which was created by Pepsi Labeb. It released on July 7th, 2006, and was added to the archive on December 22nd, 2022.
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO. It applies a new look based on the CrystalXP.net skin pack which was starting to gain traction around the time of this bootleg's release. It adds many new programs, themes and wallpapers,
Through the autorun, you can install a beta version of Internet Explorer 7 (''Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview'', mislabeled as ''Beta 3''), run a very early scene crack for Windows XP from 2002 (although very shoddily made, it literally just sets a value in WPAEvents\OOBETimer), or get more information about Crystal XP (which simply just launches an RTF document packaged with a cracked version of WebExe. There is an RTF document in the Start menu programs which has some differences, ''see Notes section''). You can even rename your Start button (using a program called ''StartBtn
The ISO was made using nLite and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio.

* There are two versions of the same RTF document, one in the Start menu programs and the other packaged as a "WebExe" executable in the Autorun's Docs folder.
* The differences between these two versions are:
# In the first screenshot, the Autorun is shown. The project name is still called "My Project" and looks to have its project folder still open, as seen in the tasklist. The email address has not been added to the background yet, and the button text isn't bold yet. Meanwhile, we can see FrontPage open. Woohoo, FrontPage!!!
# The setup screenshot shows the Setup countdown and the progress bar text in German writing. The final release has it in English.
# The desktop screenshot shows 2 folders, "Copy of" and "xp". Not much of note here. Oh right, we can see Nero in the quick launch toolbar.
# In the first start menu screenshot, we can see "Adobe Photoshop CS" in the recently used programs list.
# The theme screenshot, where "Aero Style Beta 2" is shown, has the Segoe UI font applied. The final theme does not use it. The OS does not come with Segoe UI either, I checked.
# The theme screenshot where "XtremeXP" is shown, has the icons aligned to the right. The folders from before are no longer present.
# And finally, the Winamp screenshots shows a Winamp version of 5.21. This was
* Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4's installation has leftover extension install logs for the following: Adblock Plus 0.7.0.1, CuteMenus - Crystal 0.9.9.73, Google Preview 1.3.1, Mr Tech Local Install 5.0.2 and TinyURL Creator 1.0.2.
* The VS7 theme is actually supposed to have its own folder with its visual style in it, but it's in the root directory (in this case, <code>Resources\Themes</code>) instead. Fascinatingly enough, Windows
* A serial for AVG Antivirus is included as a text file on the desktop. It cannot be applied, because it has long since expired.▼
▲* The VS7 theme is actually supposed to have its own folder with its visual style in it, but it's in the root directory (in this case <code>Resources\Themes</code>) instead. Fascinatingly enough, Windows knows this, and automatically fixes the problem.
* A serial number for the OS is included as a text file on the CD root. Interestingly enough, the serial listed is not the same as the one set in the <code>WINNT.SIF</code> file.▼

* IDM is supposed to have a crack registered to "MerCuRy", but it gets overwritten with "MiKiCuN MiKiCuN" instead.
* Internet Explorer starts in full-screen mode by default.▼
* The Internet Explorer title is set to "pepsi_labeb Internet Explorer".▼
=== CD contents and other info ===
