Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO whose purpose is to style the OS with a dark Windows Vista theme. It comes with a boot selector that comes packed with many things, such as Windows boot disks, disk partitioners, recovery utilities and more.

The original version of this bootleg was chosen for image capture for demonstrational, educational and entertainment purposes, as shown by the desktop screenshot.
Update: Additional scientific research has been conducted after this article was initially published and the author of this article has acquired new information and photographs not taken previously. The other versions of this bootleg do not present much visual difference other than altered branding. The setup has been re-captured to compensate for fatal user negligence.
Update №2: By the mere presence and existence of this script which clarifies a new addition, the ancient and powerful wrath of Grant Johnson Sans the Great's lasting spark of energy contained in our plane of existence whom has brought us the completely warranted logic of consistently abusing templation and eternal darkness to all that is beyond his comprehension strikes down upon us all!!! The "All Drivers" variant of the desktop image had the start menu opened, which is incorrect and is against the wiki standards. The image has been corrected and renamed properly.
