That’s not
Windows XP,
it is actually an Ubuntu OS hacked and transformed by Chinese pirates
to make it look exactly like Windows XP and they have pretty much
succeeded in doing that! It’s called
Ylmf OS! Why have
they moved to Ubuntu? Because their previous release, a pirate version
of Windows XP itself is being cracked down on by Microsoft.
The official site of
Ylmf OS! is completely in Chinese with no option to open the English version. The
download page though has some five links to the ISO that you can download. But note that the OS’s GUI is completely in Chinese as well.
For more screenshots, you can check out this
page and
you will be shocked to see that the pirated copycat Ubuntu version of
Windows XP looks surprisingly close to Microsoft’s version! Though the
Chinese have limited laws to prevent piracy, I expect Microsoft to try
their level best to stop the distribution of this Ubuntu version as soon
as possible as it still copies its GUI!
Update: One of the comments on Download Squad
indicates that by using the “sudo locale-gen en-US” command after
installation, he was able to change the language to English (which would
explain why the picture below has English in it).
