  • We are from the future!

  • 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

  • where's my copy

  • 0:40 My favorite part.

  • i wish they will come back to this, its better than vista and 7 put together

  • 0:31

    

  • Oh come on, this is even better than Windows 7!

  • Better than Vista

  • @iAmAubreyS

    The irony is... Longhorn IS vista.

  • @funnybee2 But Longhorn looks better than Vista

  • @iAmAubreyS

    True :P

  • MICROSOFT ლ(ಠ益ಠლ), WHY U NO MAKE LONGHORN FINISHED?

  • 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!*

  • =( i want.....

  • what is this version of Longhorn?

  • @Laacis102 This was a concept, not a build.

  • start at 1:07

  • this would have been a big competitor to the Mac. why didn't release, it would have been the best version of windows. especially if it had aero

  • click 1:09 to see longhorn

  • I seen this on Mac

  • Name the song? please!

  • @heppender song name:Get The Party Started

    singer: Pink

  • Windows 8 is trying to look like this but not that much.

  • Windows 8 is shit compared to this!

  • LOL i am with windows 7 and if longhorn was released i would have installed longhorn instead :D

  • it would have been better than vista :P

  • The concept is better than the final version, aparently... o.O

  • crazy!

  • Fucking idiots ideas...

  • One of longhorn builds have this vision!

  • why the hell was this scrapt

  • @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!

  • Now in 2011 windows 8 doesn't even look this good.

  • Are you fucking SHITTING ME?! This is better than Windows 7! Let alone that piece of shit Vista! And don't get me wrong. I love Windows 7.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:30 Jesus He got 8 of Thoes

  • So... flashy-er animations and a truly multifunctional side bar?

    Nah.

  • better than vista

  • but don't experiment in real pc is have bugs

  • wdl1 winworldpc com/Beta%20Operating%20Systems­/PC/Microsoft%20Windows%20Vist­a%20%27Longhorn%27/

    All longhorn builds

  • fuck vista n 7.

    THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I WANT THIS NOW

    MOM CAN I GET WINDOWS LONGHORN

  • What the fuck did they release vista for? This makes Windows 7 Obsolete!

  • no it comes 2013

  • 7 is the name. Awesome is da game...

  • if that was a real os vista loses form all things

  • @TheSuperemiel and i like all windows (Nt) versions

  • tha os is soo cool why never released :( i will try it in virtual mashine i got it

  • @b0bby97 longhorn is vista beta

  • Windows Longhorn never got released

  • @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 felt angry not only this is fake I felt trolled when the link is blocked by the status bar

  • Where can I find this windows? (to buy)

  • @JStein97 you cant...unfortunately windows trashed this idea and fucked us over with vista

  • Comment removed

  • i wish this was windows 8

  • 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...

  • better than vista ties to 7

  • Steve Jobs created 193 accounts and dislike this video.

  • 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")

  • I want this.

    

  • The irony of me watching this on Windows 7 machine isn't lost on me... its my moment of zen

  • This is existing.It´s called OSx.

  • They missed WIndows 2!!!

    

  • i think beter then vista and 7

  • does anybody know what built is this ? o.O

  • @JamesITV 4074

    

  • @mateusgale thanks :D

  • yeah looks pretty damn cool. BETTER THAN VISTA AND SEVEN!!!!!! this was an early version of vista wasnt?

  • @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.

  • in he parallel world, this was released instead of Vista...

  • @GenerationDarkness well then i wish i was in that dimension

  • 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.

  • You know what?

    Microsoft cancelled this because it was too "unstable."

    YOU'RE TOO UNSTABLE, BILL!! *cries*

  • Looks nice.... But I think it would be same shit as Vista... - Shiny but useless...

  • @pufixas Actually no you ass.

  • @AciliusOperator

    Oh really?

  • lol at 0:30

  • i like logon screen the best <3

  • OBVIOUSLY it looks better than vista, BUT it's not that good...

  • 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 like this

  • This would kick vistas ASS if it existed on the market

  • This was around in 2003 and it still looks better than what we have today. I really would like it if microsoft release this

  • i have a friend who has the full version of windows longhorn

  • WOW! Windows 98 looks SO technologically advanced compared to my current Windows.

  • it's better than xp, vista and 7 at the same time.

  • 8 years has past,

    and not a single fuck was given.

  • It has always been blue as default since Windows 2.0!

  • 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)

  • I want this version of Longhorn, does anyone know where do I download it? Its much better than 7.

  • the system vista want to and cant do

  • Windows 98 > Windows Vista

  • @rotenburk Windows 95 > Windows 98

  • @jubjub449 Windows Vista > Windows 95

  • 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

    I feel cheated

  • @randomdude641 Don't we all?

  • where to download this?

  • If this were real, I'd KILL to get it.

  • @TehKablam98 this is actually the concept of windows vista Longhorn is the codename (beta versions) .

    it failed...

  • @TehKablam98 it is reak

  • @TehKablam98 it is real

  • Comment removed

  • @TehKablam98 It's real, search thepiratebay

  • @TehKablam98

    Actually, its real. Its the beta of Vista, but they scrapped this and started over.

  • @TehKablam98 it is real it's a very early windows vista 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

  • I wish I could go back in time a stop Windows from cutting Longhorn and starting Vista just imagine what 7 would look like

  • @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

  • @MrGizmo757

    Yeah, I know. That's how I hacked some drives and got some personal files from them. ;)

    There is a 'trash' on the drive. So you go ahead and turn on hidden files in Windows, and you can get them. LOL.

  • What a fugly OS. Looks like an XP and Windows 7 combination lol

  • Longhorn gave you a longnose

  • Im a Windows XP and that was my Idea.

  • @LucreciaStar it's a crazy invention called an ISO file search on google before saying that

  • @peywich

    Wait wat I don't even remember commenting nor even watching this video lol.

    When did I post the comment?

  • @LucreciaStar

    drunk.... happens all the time

  • well apprently, i have a macbook on my desk and NOT a pc!! macs r just better

  • it is best windows 7. this video i excellent

  • the best video that I saw, excelent!!!

  • ni vista llego asi

  • @Didier123fulAnime jajaja de hecho 

  • I Really Liked The Way The Log-On Screen Looked

  • 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 :/

  • Bill gates is a fucking idiot, I Hate Microshit, I Love Ubuntu!!!!!!!!

  • @SuperFucker54 Then Why Watch This? Retard..

  • 0:46 Look like Hitler LOL

  • there so dumb itz not even funny they wuda made more with this operating system than vista . they wuda topped apple so dumb

  • ther i get it?

  • Look so nice huh?:D

  • Vista is not Longhorn! Longhorn is better than Vista and Seven!

  • When Connecting To "The Next Univeling Of Windows" Windws 7 Count see What's Is...

  • 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

  • one problem...vista was broked

  • If this had come out in 2003, it'd have rocked. Sadly, in 2007, Vista was a disappointment.

  • Oups... its already available!! Its Vista! They've only changed the name before they launched it. So don't wait for it!!!!!

    Go see the history of Vista on Wikipedia

  • @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.)

  • They talk about it since 8 years......so when is it gonna be available?????

  • what is this version? 4015 3718 4074??

  • @superjermi None. It was the 1st public concept.

  • omg, at 0:46 is that steve jobs?

  • So uh... when's this releasing again? It says 2003, but I got nothing.

  • @FutureiMacuser It was Never realsed its just a millstone and a beta of Vista.

  • @lancededcena123 ]

    It's called sarcasm.

  • This should be windows 8 :)

  • Is it windows 8 ?

  • 0:32 STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF LOL

  • Best OS ever. Release date: 2003+1092i

  • 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.

  • If they held out and stuck with the true concept behind Longhorn, I would definitely not be writing this comment on an iMac right now.

  • woow you need a good graphics card to have this os!!!

  • FUCK IF ONLY WE HAD THE BUILD NUMBER

  • 0:33 solijerknowsbest?

  • Comment removed

  • @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) ;)

  • !!!!"c'est vachement différent de Windows Vista !!!!

  • 0:32 1:23

  • It is better than Vista itself.. LOL.. hahaa Microsoft better released this version rather than Vista...

  • 1:09 song plz

  • @Mr92Bonecracker

    Pink-Get this party started

  • Comment removed

  • Wellcome to WINDOWS 8!!!!!!!

  • i think longhorn was just the codename fo vista?

  • @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.

  • THis was a concept video. Most of this never actually was in any builds.

  • The first time i have ever seen the sidebar have a ACTUAL use!

  • 0:33 SoliderKnowsBest?

  • Dont Longhorn

  • Comment removed

  • WHY Microsoft just killed it, it just really looked so nice :D

  • nice 

  • this is really cool you need to send it to microsoft so they can make a good OS (besides windows95)

  • @wutzerface77 wtf? whats no good w/ w7?
