Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPacks BASE 8.05, RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack Addons (including RyanVM's Windows XP Windows Genuine Advantage Addon 1.7.18.7b), DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime AddOn 0.4.0 and NR's Internet Explorer 7 English AddOn Pack for Windows Xp Sp3 English v2.0.1 integrated.

The bootleg is one of the many, MANY, builds that make XP look like Vista. As this bootleg was created in 2008, it's kind of expected. Basically, it makes the system look more like Vista, hence the name. It is preactivated.

The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.6.
