Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is the sequel to Windows Dream Vista. It has less Vista elements than the first one but has more variety, including different themes. The WPI, as well as Beauty Tools, have been removed completely. A simple program installer packaged into the autourn, and all of 2 customization utilities take their place.
