    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...

    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.

    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

    I did actually play Mario Forever back in 2008, probably downloaded from a shovelware game website. It's essentially an (unauthorized and uncredited) clone of the Super Mario All-Stars version of SMB, but also using music from Super Mario World in some levels.

    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.
