Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is styled after Windows Vista, as the name suggests. It comes with 120 new themes, 84 wallpapers, and registry tweaks. It comes with its own autorun, and WPI. It is unattended, and preactivated.
A program that automatically cycles the wallpaper has been added to the OS. The wallpaper will now get cycled every boot.
The autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Builder.
