Windows Vista Black Edition is a bootleg Windows Vista SP1 edition, which was created by Benjamin Samson. It released on July 17, 2008, and was added to the archive on December 9, 2021. It was Benjamin Samson's third ever bootleg, after Windows Vista Xtreme Edition, which is currently lost. It is the first bootleg by the then-recently established Black Edition Team to be based on Windows Vista,[1] as all of their other bootlegs prior to this one were based on Windows XP.[1] Windows Vista Eternity 2009 is the successor to this bootleg.
