It is a "fake" edition that someone made and named themselves. Basically its Windows but with stuff ripped out, other stuff added, and ATI drivers pre-installed probably. Most likely an ATI wallpaper too. Still probably a good OS. Made by some good people. Although... Fail.
It's also a cracked copy of 7. Tsk tsk if you had a key for ultimate that's one thing but go knows what been coded into that.
Hey, it's "original" and "genuine". And your programs runs faster. I'm getting mixed messages. And undesirable messages. Well done. Fancy providing details? This has always been in Windows. It needed stating twice. Definitely a must-have. This thing is so poorly written it's clearly bootleg.
Just want to reiterate more clearly that there are a few type of these floating around from gamer addition to black edition beta. All are pirated copies of windows 7. Please do not post a link to one.
Enterprise 64-bit is better. All the same as Ultimate but without a couple useless things like "Premium games", and it is supposed for updates till 2020. Ultimate is only supported till 2015
Yeah, but you need to do a volume licencing deal to get Enterprise. Not something the average consumer has access to. Also, disabled antispyware: this is probably because the edition comes pre-loaded with spyware, and they don't want you to find out.
most of the stuff in these 'releases' just have stuff tweaked a certain way do you dont have to do it yourself, like the word wrap and show file extensions. its a way to install a preconfigured version of the OS. Sounds like someone just ran it through that one program, the name escapes me right now, granted it may include a crack, for the most part this looks legit, or at least as legit as a streamlined install can be. people have been doing these installs for a long time, used to use these kinds of customized discs for a long time where i worked (made my own). keep in mind no matter what you install on your system, if youre running a network OS there is no substitute for solid defenses against malware viruses and other shady applications. never a reason to ignore standard security practice.
