The "mini bootlegs" all serve various purposes, such as "Arabic Screen" being an Arabic version of English Windows XP (which is done by automatically applying the Arabic language on startup), and "Crystal" being Windows XP, with the CrystalXP.net theme applied onto it. Most of them have manyrecurring consistencies between them, such as always changing the text-mode setup OS text, and changing the full name and organization.
 
The bootleg itself isn't all that special - it just comes with a new look, an icon set, a Windows 7 sound scheme, and some programs.
