    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? I'm available.

    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.

    I salute your commitment... i was in PAIN, looking at the monstrosities... I've been rolling my own since the NT4 days and i think these will give me PTSD... I always thought Luna was "Windows Toys'r'Us" but now i feel like it was a somber, good taste theme...
    Anyway, thumbs up for the multiboot one. Hiren's was and still is nice to have, (depending on timeline) (Norton) Partition Magic/Acronis Disk Director, Norton Ghost/Acronis True Image and later Kaspersky's own "AV bootdisk".
    Shame that all these bootlegs seem to go "form over function" for the most part. Like they were put together by 14 year olds :P

    "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.

    - Fonts straight out of a middle-school PowerPoint presentation
    - Bloatware that serves no real purpose

    Windows (obvs)
    Adobe Creative Suite Master
    Office 2003
    All the little utils you'd need like Shockwave, Flash, Quicktime, Java etc
    Managed to fill a DVD-R it took awhile to do an install but it was a lot easier than manually installing and faster too as you could wander off and fix something else.
