There is another bootleg which serves a similar purpose (as a matter of fact, it uses assets from this bootleg) made by the same person, which came out 8 months after this bootleg did. It has more effort put into it, with more programs added. Other people have also used assets from this bootleg, such as Windows Al-Mohtaref and Windows Fouda XP 2012.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with a boot selector. Through it, you can access useful utilities like Partition Magic 8.0 Build 1242 (mislabeled as Partition Magic 8.5), Norton Ghost 2003 (cracked, registered to lk of bap) and a DOS shell (a Windows 98 boot disk).

There are 9 different "mini bootlegs" bundled, which come with extra programs. You can pick which "mini bootleg" you want, along with the extra programs if you wish. You can also just install the regular bootleg, if you so desire.

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 some consistencies between them, such as always changing the text-mode setup OS text, and changing the full name and organization.

It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can access things like .NET Framework 2 and 4, and install the included programs.

It comes with one theme and wallpaper, and changed up graphics slightly. It comes with registry tweaks. It is unattended, and preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 6.0.
