Windows 2814

Windows 2814, codenamed ピンク(Pink in Japanese) is a mockup that original idea was made by Yta, was an OS that was released as a free upgrade to Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE in Japan. It was very similar to the then not released Windows 2000. The OS was released on September 21, 1999 ("199X" (formerly "????" (not to be confused with Windows ???? or the year label for Windows Oblivion, would be chronologically in 1999) for some reason on boot) and ended support on April 20, 2009.
The number 2814 refered to American-English collaboration project for aesthetic and vaporwave project of eletronic musicans.
It is a popular OS mockup idea among the OS Mockups community, which would be remade multiple times.
== Trivia ==
* Althourgh in real life didn't exist before 2014, the release of Windows 2814 released on 199X (or 1999), 15 years before the debut of 2814.
* The Windows 2814 bootscreen background is made from Birth of a New Day album cover.
** In the case of WHwNRV U5 Addons - Other Miscellaneous Versions (WHwNRV Update 5 Extension before 2024), it is mashed up with the regular Update 5 Windows NT 5.0 equivalent bootscreen background.
* The commonly associated startup and shutdown sounds are extracts of Guided By Love.
* There was a now-cancelled mod of Windows 2000 created by bluecomb, TLE, and windowsfan6, which was supposed to replace most of the design to make it look like Windows 2814. Development started June 27, 2022, but it was cancelled on April 19, 2023, after a lot of inactivity and basically no interest in working on it.
** Goolkids would be later obsessed with the mod idea of that one to Niko in her community posts, despite she doesn't accept mod requests until she runs out of ideas.
