Windows Basic in Windows Vista RC1
Windows Basic in Windows 7 RTM

"Windows Basic", sometimes known as Aero Basic, is the low-end theme included in Windows Vista and Windows 7. In betas Windows Vista, it originally had more of a "metal" feel to it, but this was removed for the basic blue theme we have today.

The Basic theme was removed from Windows 8 along with Windows Classic and was replaced with Aero Lite.
