'''Windows Longhorn Reloaded''' is a bootleg [[: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 [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Longhorn_build_4074 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 26, 2021.▼

== Description ==
Much like [[Sigma OS]], Longhorn Reloaded is based around and is designed to make Longhorn build 4074, a pre-reset Milestone 7 build of Windows Vista, more "stable" (depending on your definition).
On the first boot, the OS deletes some files and launches an optional installer program called "Longhorn Reloaded Tempory Installer", which replaces a few files and sets some registry keys. Other than that, the OS remains mostly the same as stock 4074.
== Changes from Longhorn 4074 ==
* The "Luna" and "Slate" themes have been removed, and only the "Jade" theme remains. Either intentionally or due to a bug, the Classic theme is also inaccessible.
* The "About Windows" graphic has been replaced with a custom banner showing the OS name.
* The sidebar has been hidden by default and requires the user to mouse over to the sidebar area to see it.▼
* desktop.ini is no longer a hidden file by default and is visible across the OS.▼
== Notes ==
*
* VirtualBox Guest Additions do not install on this OS.
▲* The sidebar has been hidden by default and requires the user to mouse over to the sidebar area to see it.
▲* As a side-effect of all hidden files being shown, desktop.ini is no longer a hidden file by default and is visible across the OS.
