I am currently working on a Custom OS with the codename "Gift". It should use the most the usefull features from windows build packed in only 1 OS. It is based on build 7601 (Win7 SP1).
Done list:
1. Patched uxtheme.dll and installed themes.
2. Usertitle (can be turned off)
3. Small RegTweaks...
4. AutoColorization
5. Metro Things
To do list:
1. "Metro Longhorn" login
2. Ribbon UI for explorer
3. RegTweaks
4. Waiting suggestions

btw: i am now alone working at this project. if someone wants to help me, be my guest

gift is no longer in work

So is every OTHER custom OS discussed on this forum that's not being coded from scratch. Microsoft won't go after them unless they're being distributed for profit.

You probably don't know what Longhorn Reloaded is... so Google it and realize how wrong that statement is.

Of course. We're now at Pre-M1. Right now i am hexediting .mui files and regediting and creating the new "Ballmer Betta Fish wallpaper"...
In M2 we will add themes and Rainmeter. In M3 we will add the "Longhorn Metro Boot Screen" and program that add the Windows 8 new features.
Current Team:

I'm sure this is being done for the hell of it anyway. Most of the creative things I do are for the hell of it, I don't expect people to exactly widely use things like this. They're just fun.

You can put some silent install apps...

Like

Firefox
Google Chrome
Windows Live Mensenger
Opera
Klite Codec Pack
Winrar
7-zip
Orbit
[A free antivirus]
[Any regbooster]
And more.. I'm not so creative
