Windows Vista Simulator V2 (Original)

Description

Windows Vista Simulator V2 Originally made by @colorgram back in 2010, updated several times since. Made with scratch 1.4 and 2.0 Features - Accurately scaled graphics & sound effects - Interactive apps & interface 　(task tray, rearrangable gadgets, etc) - Authentic visual effects (glow, animations) - Polished, stable, and fast experience. - Multitasking - Multiplayer highscore support in Defender3 - Finally bug free This simulator has been copied many times over the years by users who falsely claimed authorship. In several cases these copies were featured on the frontpage. Therefore there are over 280 remixes (as of jan 2016) that don't show up in the official remix tree and credit this project to the wrong person.
