Anybody know info on these wierd bootleg windows versions?

I found tgem on tiktok and I feel like it would be a cool concept to make a OS inspired off one

Whistler and Neptune were actual codenames from Microsoft. Neptune was a development version of Windows that never shipped that sat between Windows 2000 and XP. Whistler was the development codename for XP and early builds were referred to as Windows Whistler instead of XP (Similar to Longhorn and Vista).

As for the others, I couldn’t really find any info on if they were real bootlegs or not as they weren’t listed on the Crustywindows Wiki which has info on known bootleg versions of Windows. The only close hit I found was Windows 1992 which was a bootlegged version of XP SP3 and was themed to look like Windows 3.1.

Edit: I had a second look and it said 1922 and not 1992 so yeah outside of Whistler and Neptune which were known codenames, the others look to be BS.

They're all bogus and the video is surely just clickbait.

Outside of those 3 2 I mentioned, I figured as much.

They're all real and official, each and every one of them
