Longhorn was the codename for when Windows Vista was still in beta.

[Danny123173]

@Willsterdude3000 Infact Longhorn was its own operating system which Microsoft scraped half way through designing due to the fact it was build from the source code of Windows xp which caused it too become messy and buggy which is why they started coding Vista from scratch the reason it was a failed os is because it was rushed.

i'm downloading windows longhorn reloaded now 2 make it my main os! many times better than vista! i have 7 rc version & it's lagging quite seriously.

i like its interface & the header, with the back button so big & many different colors 2 choose from!

[Danny123173]

yeah i can see where your coming from longhorn was the beast but now i would say its gettin i little old with windows 7 and snow leopard now here longhorn wont be compatible with alot of modern features and technologies and longhorn reloaded never realy did much because it was shutdown my microsoft in eary stages =]

longhorn was unstable So they Made Even Better

Windows Vista

(Longhorn Lagged even more than Vista O_O

Thats Truth)

[gordanbadman]

I think of Longhorn as the Alpha Vista. I have used Vista and it was way fucking better than XP. Don't give that it sucks bullshit. It rocked. I upgrade to Windows 7 today and it's well done. A much better Vista. Longhorn is fascinating but think of it as a real OS. It was just an unfinished/scrapped OS.

Not possible to activate longhorn

@Danny123173 Windows has actually never been rewritten from scratch since NT 3.1. Every release has built ontop of previous versions. The development reset and resulting Vista was the best thing that could happen. Indeed, Longhorn was a mess and built on the same insecure coding principles as XP. Vista wasn't that bad. Yes, it had some performance issues in the beginning and hardware manufacturers who couldn't even write proper drivers, but it didn't deserve the rep it got.

[Felipedivensi]

i don't know why, but sometimes i think i'm the only person in the world that actually liked Vista.

@Dadogo141 longhorn and vista are 2 different oses

[iToasterman]

@XenoSonic789 get me a copy

[halo3productions911]

@gordanbadman Trust me.... Vista is a bad OS. It's ME v2. That's why a small percentage of the enterprise world would migrate to Vista. The percentage was much higher for Windows 7. Most companies stick with XP. If they need to, they go to Windows 7. I haven't seen any company, so far, use Vista. The people that I have heard that switched HATE it.

I use Vista because I do not have an extra product key for Windows 7, and I do not have the HDD drivers for XP. I am not happy with Vista.

@gordanbadman I had a shitload of problems with Windows Vista. My generic mouse stopped working. Y'know, a Plug'n'Play mouse? You just put the USB cable in the appropriate slot? Yeah, Vista stopped working.

Also, Team Fortress 2 was way too incompatible with Vista. I settled for Ubuntu then XP.

Face it, everyone but you hates Vista.

@terekevadexD Actually, I had Longhorn on a 384MB laptop [build 3718] and it worked just fine. Sure I couldn't install anything, but that's due to the fact it's an alpha. Vista lags terribly and is in fact even more unstable than Longhorn. Microsoft knew what was wrong and made Windows 7.
