We are very excited to announce our 2019 fourth and final release, Kali Linux 2019.4, which can be downloaded immediately.

Why would you want to make it look as if you're using Microsoft’s operating system? Offensive Security explains: kali linux 2019.4
Say you are working in a public place, hacking away, and you might not want the distinctive Kali dragon for everyone to see and wonder what it is you are doing. So, we made a little script that will change your Kali theme to look like a default Windows installation. That way, you can work a bit more incognito.
