Windows Codename Longhorn was a predecessor to what became Windows Vista. In this video, I check out what stayed the same from the beginning, and how influential it was to the Vista we all know today
As downloading Longhorn or a modified version of Vista is legally dubious, I will not be providing links. However, the search terms that will help are "Vista Delta OS Download" and "Longhorn TWIWMTB" (Fixed Aero theming on 4074). Here is also the link to my own video getting Aero working on Vanilla Longhorn, which ironically didn't seem to work for me (although the tutorial is still useful for enabling DWM and explorer transparency): • Getting Windows Longho...

One important fact about Longhorn is that sadly there where a LOT of great ideas and concepts, some of wich are still not real today. But the actual Longhorn OS was nowhere near being functional, especially when it comes to all the great ideas they had.

@PocketPixelYT Год назад

Yeah, especially compared to the demos they showed, with the never released features and the awesome animations. I mean something as simple as a seamless transition from the boot screen to the login, surely that can be done with UEFI, but it's one of those things that hasn't ever been implemented, and that's just one of the many features

I remember being 9 year old, installing vista for the first time. It felt like I was using an OS you see on movies, the futuristic ones.

@ranchocommodorereef Год назад

That was the fun feeling of it.

Excellent

@csch92 9 месяцев назад

If i would install it today, i would feel the same way. Win 11 is great but it still needs fine tuning here and there. Vista was ahead of its time

@Pedro8k 7 месяцев назад

I always thought Longhorn was the project codename for Windows 7 even this looks better than 11

To be honest, Longhorn has my favorite aesthetic design out of any Windows OS. It has in my opinion, the right balance between skeumorphism and minimalism, with a nicely subdued color palette. It's like if you took all the design elements I like from XP, Vista, and Win10.

@Juliodax 10 месяцев назад

Whats about the animations in the windows, like these of Apple?. In this case, I read, compiz used in GNU+Linux was the young people designers fired from Microsoft when the development of Longhorn?

vista and 7 still look better than 10/11 today...windows 10 so bland :/

How risky would it be to take this OS online and use it as a daily driver?

@PocketPixelYT 21 день назад

About as risky as XP, most likely. That's if you can even get it to stay online long enough before it crashes

@windows97gaming66 Год назад

longhorn is beta version of vista duh

@lexiyuri 10 месяцев назад

And is better than vista

@Quailstorm 8 месяцев назад

pre-reset Longhorn isn't, it is a branch that just died out when Vista was rebased on Server 2003 x64 code

A time when reporting opinion to MS would really ve relevant to users

@Gui2226 4 месяца назад

*could be. Could also be real a situation when MS actually cared about users. Now feels like nothing they do makes any sense.

Longhorn>>>.vista

@Galaxy.Windows 7 месяцев назад

the best part was that its based on Windows XP making Longhorn the succesor to XP

@Taras-Nabad 8 месяцев назад

Vista was the slowest running operating system. Also per Dave Cutler Longhorn was the worst code ever written.

@PocketPixelYT 8 месяцев назад

Yeah nice of Dave to chime in about behind the scenes of Longhorn. It helps to corroborate the reason why Longhorn started from scratch, and on the server codebase.

NICE, YOU COULD AT LEAST MENTION THE CREATOR WHO YOU TOOK ALL THE SCREEN RECORDINGS FROM. (Michael MJD) you just stole his entire presentation and done a voice-over in your language, CONTENT THEFT,

@PocketPixelYT 7 дней назад

I used 15 seconds of Michael’s video within this entire video, and it is all accredited. And not even from any longhorn video of his, but the XP development video
