== Description ==
ThisThe bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is styled after Windows Vista, as the name suggests. It comes with 3 new themes, 84 wallpapers, and registry tweaks.

== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* A WinRAR SFX containing a batch file gets ran during Setup. It automatically deletes the Luna theme. There is a missing quotation mark at the end of the DEL statement.
* A similar batch script this time not in a SFX gets ran during Setup. It deletes all of the default wallpapers, referencing them by name. The same issue with the quotation marks are present.
* The registry file responsible for installing the Fast Explorer shell extension also applies a Internet Explorer toolbar background. That file does not exist anywhere in the OS.
* Themes take a while to apply.

* The CD has its own icon.
 
=== WINNT.SIF metadata ===
* The full name and organization is both set to "Dream Vista".
* The computer name is set to "DREAM_VISTA".
