'''Windows 2007''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows Vista|Windows Vista SP2]] edition, which was created as a collaboration by Glosswired (primary developer), Megadeth58, xsychoreese, Cosmo, along with [[:Category:Bootlegs created by miyako|miyako]] and AO554. The initial build released on July 15, 2019, and was developed up until February 11, 2020. The latest build, 6021, was released on the aforementioned day. It was added to the archive in December 2021.


Build 6010 is the first public build of Windows 2007. This build was based off of a clean version of Vista SP2, as such some features from 6009 and prior have been removed.
This build, particularly 6021, was the final build of Windows 2007. It was the subject of a minor development reset in February.


Following Vista-C's (another Windows bootleg) legally ordered takedown in March, on May 17, 2020, Windows 2007 development was marked as permanently inactive.
=== Changes ===
* New Logon UI and Desktop wallpapers
* New sound scheme produced by feandesign
* Bug report icon added, which refers you to the Windows 2007 Discord server; this has since been closed.

=== Notes ===
* Winver banner still reports Milestone 2 despite this being a Milestone 3 build
* Beta 2 basic theme is missing
