I was just seeing a video about all the windows that exist, and I saw this.
An image from 'Is This Real?'. Boot screen of Windows XP Pro Essential edition with loading bar on black background.

Well there was an XP Pro but no 'Essential' moniker. It's likely a user created custom shell and probably full of malware..

Apparently it makes XP look and act like Windows Vista.

I'd steer well clear.
