Revision as of 18:12, 3 July 2023

Windows 2007 is a bootleg Windows Vista SP2 edition. 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.

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 legally ordered takedown in March, on May 17, 2020, Windows 2007 development was marked as permanently inactive.

This mod (particularly Build 6021) was used as the OS on VM 0b0t since the 21st revision, before getting replaced with Windows 9 Pro on the 23rd revision.
