Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows ME distribution which is packaged in the Ghost image format, which has to be restored through a separate Norton Ghost utility. The OS itself was created for and named after the "Year of Luigi" event, which was created by Nintendo to celebrate Luigi's 30th anniversary. As a result, the OS has been changed around to be more "Luigi" themed as well as including additional software.
Changes from Windows ME
- The background color has been changed from light blue to an eye-piercing lime green color.
- The My Computer and My Documents icons have been changed into an icon of Luigi's hat.
- Bizarrely, the Network Neighborhood icon has been renamed to "Connect Pre-Server", and the icon has been changed to a database icon.
- The Recycle Bin icon has been changed to a red, more "modern" looking icon.
- Some additional software has been included.
