Yes, Longhorn was Vista's prototype. But the difference between Build 4074 & before with anything afterwards is that, (through 4074,) the Longhorn prototype actually had features like WinFS & NGSCB. Basically, many features were cut out since Longhorn's 2004 dev refresh, & Build 4074 was the last pre-dev refresh build...
the below I meant. "Yes, Longhorn, etc." Plus, remember that, other than the cut new features, (which was most of the new features Vista had in its dev cycle,) Longhorn had buginess. Take out the features... & all you have is the buginess.
@thevistacustomizer Wow, don't know why I said 4074! LOL, but anyways, 4093 is the last, (if you exclude unleaked lab_06 builds,) but 4074 is so much better 4 2 reasons: 1. Stabler. 2. Includes NGSB.
This video was posted in 2007. Does that mean these old 2007 concepts will be completed in Windows 7????? This was a big wow then for Window PCS. What's really sad is that most of these really simple concepts won't even appear in Windows 7.
Not to be rude, but Longhorn was Vista's prototype. (Longhorn being its codename.) The big difference is that they cut out a lot in tis development that it had before, thus making, "Longhorn," awesome & not applying as much to Vista.
They weren't taken out most are still in vista. Most people cant see that the only difference is the theme, and the login menu. I personally think Vista is more together and organized... like mac osx. I have both longhorn and vista, vista is really a step ahead of this. Vista just works.
They had to restart because progress didn't go as planned. It was a completely new rewrite of Windows based on new technology that wasn't exactly ready for the task.
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure nor do I have proof to support it, but I'm pretty confident that the new version of Windows in development at the moment, is actually going to offer us what Longhorn was going to in the first place.
PS: I absolutely love the Vista theme, and I truly never did like Longhorn's all that much. I would take Royal Blue over Longhorn, and Aero over Royal blue, any way.
yes crestind they are all real, and no i doubt he has it. they really were working on it and then decided that they would put it aside and make up some piece of shit real fast so people would shut up about them taking too long.
I nearly forgot ,check out the look of this windows...rounded corners ,borderless ,with shadows ,and if we change this blue color to silver ,what we get?
ROFL. There's nothing even remotly cose to eachother. And in respect to it being a half asses version. We could say Mac is a half assed version of windows, since they copied a shit load of features from windows too? Watch your toungue.
"since they copied a shit load of features from windows too? "
Like what features? Let's see if you've done your homework.
OSX gets almost all of it's features from NeXTstep. An OS that was released in the late 80's by NeXTcomputers, which was founded by Steve Jobs after he was forced out of Apple.
The rest of it's features come from Classic MacOS.

Both Sherlock and Desk Accessories were in Classic Mac OS.
Konfabulator filled the void left when Apple switched to OSX and removed desk accessories.
Sherlock was definitely a predecessor to Spotlight. Biggest difference is that Spotlight is in the corner and starts searching while the user types whereas, sherlock has a search button.
I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don't use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN VISTA! (Vista = Codename "Vista")

It probably wasn't practical and got in the way over time.
Plus not everybody having a PC that could run it, if everyone had the same PC we would see something like this I imagine.
Although that's not the case with Vista, it's my favorite OS so far.
