'''Windows Longhorn Reloaded''' is a bootleg of[[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows betas|Windows Longhorn 4074]] edition, which was created by a group on the (now defunct) forum JoeJoe, designed to make Longhorn build 4074 more stable. Apparently, Microsoft was quite embarrassed by how much more "stable" this OS was compared to their then three-year-old beta, so they sent a cease and desist letter to kill it. Unfortunately for Microsoft, weirdos on the internet kept copies. Anyhow, it released in 2007, and was added to the archive on December 26th, 2021.
