This project was initially quite bad, but was later completely rebuilt on the basis of the Windows 7 simulator made by:
@andrew-6464-
that sadly stopped getting updates, and the Windows XP simulator by:
@Vortex101
I also sourced boot animations from @andrew-6464-

While everything else was made by me, I acknowledge that this project wouldn’t have been possible without their awesome work, I recommend that you go check out their amazing profiles and projects!
