Between a proof of concept and a final product, things can change a lot. That's why you should always withhold judgment until you have a working copy in your hand.
For the record this video is a legitamate video produced by Microsoft and was distributed among 'roadshow' Microsoft sponsors and presenters. I just happened to get it off one of them.
To all uses do not buy windows 7 its a cut down vista. Stick with xp because at the moment MS do not know what good or bad xp is the best o/s. If they made longhorn it would have been the best if the release it. It looks so cool and nice. For that guy taking all the Windows 95 disk its because when 95 came out it was the first windows to have a graphical interface
actually wrong Windows 95 was the first to have a FULL Graphical interface windows 3.1 with the Win command launches its Graphical interface so it has one too just pointing out lol =)
I would be soo happy if they relaeased this instead of vista... although the outcome may have been the same... noone will know for shure though but i would like for microsoft to revive this =)
If you "knew" Longhorn, you'd know it's now Vista and is stable. Trust me. I've been using the RTM since Nov. 2006. Only crashes were due to an old program tweaking out on DirectX 10
I would rather wait long to get this (eg:6 years or more) instead of waiting 5 years to use vista. It was canceled because according to Microsoft, "It's isn't getting anywhere. Wow, so vista is different then?
It's widows vista ultimate 2010 service pack 2 which will be released in october of 2027. It will included clones of features from os 12 and 14. Sadly mac users would care because they'll be using os 19 by then!
Awesome video. I hope microsoft do come to a great OS even though this was cancelled off =( ... This OS would have changed the way people thought of using a PC. I like both Windows and OS X but in my opinion, i think this would've kicked OS X ass!
"but Vista kicks ass when it comes to stability and security". Are you seriuos? dont make me laugh. BSOD, BSOD, BSOD. Fucking win 95 is mroe stable then Vista, and 95 SUCKS. your fucking vista blows. Longhorn was better, but they decided to upgrade xp, but they called it Vista, not Xp 07 or something, so every one though that vista is a completely different OS, but its not. So Vista is already dead. Mac os X leopard owns. Apple owns Microsoft all the way to hell.
They are! Macs are for stupid SoCal blonds who can't use a real computer. That's where they will always stay too! The office is no place for a Mac! You need a man's computer for that!
I feel I should at least try to clear some things up. to start off no this video is not a fake, it has come directly from a MS rep to a MS Presenter to myself. Many people forget to realise that Windows Vista itself only took 18-24months to develop - yet it took 5 years to complete. Do the math... That is where this version came into play, I presume this was an early Alpha release of Longhorn but was then scrapped in favour of a more Vista look and feel.
Okay guys dont skeet on yourselves, Originally Steve Jobs did steal the GUI from Xerox, Gates then in turn stole the GUI from Jobs. The spotlight-esque quick search windows includes was not taken from Mac calm down people gadgets were not stolen either dashboard and sidebar are two different things. If half of you people that talk like you know actually did know you wouldnt be on here making yourselves look like stupid retards.
apple didint steal from Xerox you douche. Xerox GAVE it to them. They shoved Steve there project, and they said whe dont need it so they gave it to Apple. So fuck you, apple owns
you guys crazy! who tf cares about what is better Mac Or Windows! use what you want and shut UP! im using Windows but i have nothing to do with guys who using Mac so WHAT??? OMG! tards! All you can do is just say enything just to make people fill bad idiots!
pikminman is compleyely right it is all down to opinion, everyone has their own preference of what suits them! but i was just wondering what has apple copied from windows?
Everyone here who really hates Windows or Mac, please shut up, you all have your own opinions and when you really think about, there is no better operating system, it is all purely opinion.
they didn't release it because it never existed, this was a concept, a bunch of ideas brought together about what they were putting into the O/S, in 2005 they had a few Longhorn builds but decided all the extra features were causing too many delays, and it was buggy, so they started again...
what is new in it? besides they copied the new features from mac os x?? it looks too complicated and im sure after a few weeks of using it u will be bored... I wanna see new Mac os leopard wich im completely sure will leave Vista in its dust.
Your a idiot. What did they copy from OS X? A search bar and the Gadgets? Whoopdee Fuckind do, that is absolutly nothing. Maybe you should look at everything Apple Copied from Windows?
7/8 of the market dammit and windows is faster, better technology
SO IF UR A SMART SPEED LOVING GAME PLAYING DOWNLOADING PERSON STAY ON THE PC SIDE
NONE OF THEM ARE BETTER IT DEPENDS WUT U WANT! im gonna get a new alienware area 51 5500 altho thier cutsomer support sucks >.< ps apple is alot more stable
This movie was a concept video, meaning it was made before they had even named it vista meaning that its completely different, if you dont like it then dont watch my movie so f*** off
yo who needs to spend like 1,000 imac(which is like the most decent and least exspensive mac)when they could just get a emachine for 600 and customize it (+400)=(1,000) and it would be much faster than the macmini or imac and it would have windows vista long horn (looks better than leopard but leopard has way better programs) i suggest windows vista longhorn and i used to be a macontosh fan
dude did u see that .... fuck os x leopard windows vista longhorn is just like the same thing but looks a little kooler (but it copied mac) and is faster than mac in games and surfing the net..... but mac has better programs admittedly but can't run games that good
Do have an actual life? i mean , i just thought i'd ask seeing as your pretending to be, not just one in-animate object but two!!
Have any of you peopl even thought that its only the year 2007(well 2006 when you wrote this) and the peopl at microsoft/Mac can only go so far! they probably went as far as they could possibly go in this day and age and the ended up the same! the word coinsidence was invented for a reason you know!
That's all fine and dandy. But am I still going to need 4 different kinds of anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-bad-shit-on-your-computer programs just to feel a little safe? I could just buy a mac and not worry about any of that.
Oh, and Microsoft does not have a huge market share because their system is good. They own that much market share because years ago they let everyone use their system.
...hes talking aboutthe early OS9 you muppet. that was years ago. Have you tried a Mac now? Actually, have you even seen OS 10.4 or the preview of 10.5? I suggest you go and watch the WWDC 06 keynote. You might LEARN something.
its funny that, I am an IT professional with experience in Windows, Mac and Linux. If you dont like Microsoft products then remove your office software from your mac, and most importantly dont go watching Vista previews!
Not on that a platform that dominates over 90% of the market you dont...Go play with your little Tiger software. The other 95% will use Microsoft or Linux..
agreed, people can say that mac is better or linux is great cos its free, they cant EVER say however that windows is bad...why do you ask? cos they have 90% of the market share thats why!
looks better than final product
