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.
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.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows Vista SP2 ISO. It is designed to resemble Vista's Beta releases, specifically Beta 2, and adds new sounds, visual changes and other related content. There were multiple builds of it released (around 10 of them), which are all documented down below.
Changes from Windows 2007 Build 6020
- Setup graphics have been updated
- New desktop wallpapers
- New winver banner
- Beta 2 basic theme is present
- Cosmo's BCD editor has been removed
- The autorun has received new graphics
- New avatar set
Notes
- The new sounds cut off abruptly.
- System info reports Windows 2007 Ultimate; no other SKU is available for all builds.
- The autorun image had to be taken in a stock Windows Vista installation - AeroShot would simply not recognize the autorun at all in the bootleg.
