I'm runnung Kali lite on XFCE. After installing themetapackage, there is a tool listed under the "Other" application catagory called "Kali Undercover Mode". It makes the desktop appear to be Windows 10. I can't find any documentation or mention of its existence, outside of anCode:kali-linux-top10
. Are there any docs for it?Code:apt cache search kali-undercover

Kind of cool. Thanks for pointing it out
It makes it look like Windows 10. That's all.
I wonder if that is legal.Quote:

Haven't Microsoft a Copyright on it?
Because they are bundled and integrated in Kali. Or paid Kali Microsoft for it, so that they can use it?
For example Microsoft fonts are allowed to download it by private person from the Microsoft website and integrating them in the own installed Linux.
But it isn't allowed by distributors to integrate them in a Linux-distribution. Nor is it allowed by third party application developers to integrate them in their own product.
If this would all be allowed, then distributions could also integrate jdi32.dll, user32.dll, etc in its distribution and replace the WINE-implementations of it with the Microsoft original files. Then would also running more Windows-programs on Linux.
