Bootleg of the Month

Windows Black Pearl

Windows Black Pearl is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Ahmad Hashem. It released on September 18, 2015, and was added to the archive on April 6, 2024.

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with many themes and wallpapers, new icons and cursors, along with some Mac OS X branding.

SkyDriverXP 11.1 (DriverPacks September 2010) will pop up during setup. On the first boot of the OS, Autorun Protection will run, and then a fullscreen program will pop up and stay for a few minutes as it tells you about ESET Smart Security and other things, and then it closes.
