you can notice that this is and old concept for all the options and toolbars in the windows that makes all a little bit messy, new software tends to have the most clean user interface they can made
seriously, what happened to this? surely someone out there has an iso of this, ive got build 4074 and it looks shite compared with this. I WANT IT!!!!
The main issue was this was all built on VB.net. Everything had component legs to share info. So you get an MP3 that had simple ID3 tags but you can see like tags, Photos took in GPS info and would identify other like photos. So all these objects had a crazy amount of relevant data that was shared across the OS. Issue? Viruses and malware could come from a .jpg made from this project. This had all the glam, but none of the security. With all this said *TAKE MY MONEY I WANT IT NOW!*
@jjp321609 the reason Longhorn was scrapt was because in 2003 the computers were no chance against today's computers, this would have ran on today computers(2011), but computers in 2003 were not as powerful. the graphics were to advanced on lower end computers, so the computer would have lagged so bad that i would have been a bad os.
@popaname Actually, they got extremely confused With XP SP2 and Server 2003 on the way, so they scrapped Longhorn in 2004 and started the "new Longhorn" which became Vista. Otherwise Windows Longhorn would have been on the shelf in 03 and 04. Blame it on XP!
@boethet It did, as Windows Vista... it was Vista's codename, and it's just one project (it's not an abandoned project, that's a lie), they just restarted it in 2004 but it was the same project.
They left this out because it would take forever to make it and they needed to release Longhorn soon as a minor release so they could start working in their next major project Blackcomb (which was then Vienna and then became what today is Windows 7).
I'm using b3718 for 2 months and really not understand for what reason they chancelled the project. Integrated virtual desktops, shoved on deskbar gadget, is simply elegant and beautiful yet effective solution. WinFS also underestimated...
Really, Windows 7 does not has even a half of Longhorn features. Interface is the last thing I mean...
Coming October 2003...I mean 2004. I mean September 2005. JK, I meant January 2006. Ah, screw it, let's just mock something up in five minutes and throw it on store shelves. (and call it "Vista")
@989Nintendo898 It was Microsoft's Longhorn concept, of course it never looked like that, but it was very near since they were already including the new features and new ways of organizing the files. Then they decided to reset the project in 2004, which was a very bad idea.
windows longhorn was meant to be minor. pepole who were expecting THIS to happen in longhorn/vista are stupid. this could of happened in win7 though. that was meant to be major.
since 2006, i have been watchin this video every year hoping that they would come up with something like this for real :( longhorn seems to be a subset of time travel concept !!!
I tried windows, and this is the best by far is really improving windows xp (one of the best in the world). I recommend it if your computer can not support Windows Vista. Actually this video is incomplete as this is the only video Build 4015 (not said in other Builds) no compatibility problems. Recommended For virtual machine, is very difficult to get online, I have it saved on a CD with Build 4015 (which appears in the video)
Longhorn was supposed to be the codename for vista. Microsoft were planning to release vista in 2003, but it got delayed by 3 years. And it's the biggest piece of shit Microsoft have made and does nothing compared to what's In this concept
its a shame microsoft didn't stick to its original guns. its like they can never agree on a concept to build an os around. i feel like longhorn would've marked a clearer progression in mircosoft's NT-based products
@DanielChristy19 Actually Most of the ideas that apple and Microsoft both use come from the open sourced Linux community. Get your facts right. :-) areo peek and areo snap those futures were in Linux back in the xp days. the only thing WIndows created all on there own was true transparency and ntfs. and apple created the dock. everything else was a variation of something that already existed in the Linux underground. :-) i Love Mac os x and Windows best though Linux is to unsupported.
@MrGizmo757 Windows Vista ruined it for me. I hated Macs before Vista came out, and after Vista was a disaster for me. I tried OS X, and couldn't be happier.
@coffeeandsugar20 Well Windows 7 isn't that bad. the one problem i have With
OS X is how it handles Files on external devices. go ahead and look closer. save some files to a regular FAT formatted external drive. then delete those files. then take that drive and go plug it into your Windows Machine. you will see even though the files are gone that disk space is still used. you have to reformat to get disk space back. its very dumb. its formatted for FAT but OS X still treats it like its HFS
you can still find torrents that have longhorn in them, it's just no one ever released any drivers for them, and i've tried the xp ones, nothing works though :/
they put heaps of work into Longhorn to never release it. It may have eventuated into Vista, but that is not vista, and has alot of graphical things which neither Vista or 7 have
@dubstyleetube This isn't post development reset Vista, which actually released. This is pre development reset Vista, before they axed everything that was good about it & just left the bugs... (Albeit not as much but still horrible.)
OH GOD EW! I am glad Microsoft didn't take this turn, it looks like someone spat out WM 5 onto a computer. People who think this looks good must have a brain deficiency.
@Mrcomputergeek1 I think that video shows why he switched to mac, because he bought shit loads of copies of Windows and realized how crap it was (at the time) ;)
@SamDeRe81 they have. DWM is a compositing engine. Much more stable than compiz as well. It actually can display the contents while resizing without bugs.
