It's been a while since I've done a video on a bootleg copy of Windows. So today I tracked down 4 awfully modified copies to take a look at. Let's see what I got myself into this time...
Thanks to Computernewb for preserving many of these bootlegs!

    "Gold XP Windows" isn't bad engrish, it's just a byproduct of the author of the bootleg, who appears to be Arabic. English uses Subject, Verb, Object ordering in grammar, but Arabic uses Verb, Subject, Object. The lack of plurality (Window vs Windows) is another thing, plurality in words isn't common in many languages. English speakers would say Windows XP Gold. Arabic speakers would say Gold XP Windows. Getting the sentence structure correct when learning different languages is hard. English is the rare exception where you can butcher and mutilate it to hell and it still mostly makes sense. That doesn't often work when going to different languages, where it can end up as utter nonsense or you saying something completely different by juxtapositioning words. It doesn't excuse the awfulness of the bootleg though.

    In Russia in the days of windows xp relevance, this kind of bootlegs were on almost every pc, such as the most famous of them zverdvd, god how awful it was, some of them had important features removed, so that some software wouldn't even run or install... Thinking back to those times I can say it was the best advertisement for licensed software...

    Hi Michael! Thanks for taking a look at these, I'm actually a wiki administrator for the source you got these from (User:Kon on the wiki) and I've made some articles on various different ones. I know you may not be so fond of how they look, but glad to see you return to the unofficial windows series once again! Been a fan of it for a long while.

    Here's a translation of the Arabic text in "Windows The Avengers" that's not quite literal, but rather more logical: 19:47 Information about this version of Windows you're going to use: All 2013 Windows updates have been added Patches to speed up Windows have been added Essential programs have been added An install disc that you can use to install more programs has been added to the desktop 19:52 What has been removed from this brand new version of Windows: WMP has been removed IE has been removed Low quality Windows games as well as internet games have been removed 20:20 Follow up Tour has been removed (incorrectly typed as "remved") Help and Support has been removed (also incorrectly typed) Tips have been removed, they're useless 20:49 New additions to the brand new Windows, we're going to explain them in detail in the next slide 26:45 You can change the appearance of Windows using the beautiful available desktop backgrounds 26:47 You can change the appearance of Windows using the beautiful available themes 26:49 You can change your screen resolution here 26:50 Now you need to install your drivers. If you have your install disc, use it to install drivers. Otherwise, use SkyDriver(?) for drivers 26:51 Don't install too many programs. This version includes every program you'll ever need. If you're good at Windows then the possibilities are endless 26:52 You can change the appearance of Windows using this program 26:53 You can change Windows themes from here 26:54 You can change the desktop background using this program: Start\WindowBlinds 26:55 More options in the program 26:56 Any question?

    These re-skinned Windows editions bring back memories. I remember back in the day when Vista came out, I've installed a Vista re-skin on my PC with Windows XP x64 Edition. So it would look like Vista but still be XP. Had it for a long time, until Windows 7 came out. I actually used to make kind-of bootlegs myself, Windows 7 installations with all updates to date and a bunch of software (Office stuff, archivers, media players, etc.) pre-installed. No re-skins or anything, just software. Later did that with Windows 10. When Microsoft switched to using WIMs for installation (since Vista), it became incredibly easy to make custom Windows builds. All you had to do is install what you want on top of a clean OS, run sysprep and create a WIM image of the disk, which you would then copy to a Windows DVD image, replacing the stock install.wim.

    Real and funny story: a friend of mine used to work for a big UIX company back in the 2000s and early 2010s. The company basically collaborated with other AAA companies to help them create the most intuitive GUI for their products. This company constantly received applications from design newcomers, as some positions could be done online, from a distance even back then; but the company had a very strict and particular rule: automatically reject applicants from India and Arab countries. It wasn’t a racial thing, mind you, but it was a rule almost solely based on these bootlegs and the very heavy handed and tacky design language so popular in those regions back then.
