Bill Gates in NT 5.0

After text-mode installation your Windows NT will be licensed to William H. Gates III and Microsoft Corporation.

To do this, I replaced setup.exe with cmd.exe and started winver :D

No news, and actually there's no need to “replace” the Setup executable with Command Prompt, as the latter usually runs in the background during setup starting from build 1773 or something.

As Overdoze said, this has been known for ages. Also there is no need to replace setup.exe with cmd.exe, you can just do Shift+F10 and run winver.
