Welcome back to another Unofficial Windows Version video! Today we'll be taking a look at Longhorn Reloaded, a user made project that actually got the attention from Microsoft. The project was created to preserve the Pre-Reset Longhorn experience by making build 4074 more stable to use. Microsoft eventually sent a cease and desist letter to the developers, asking them to stop distributing Longhorn Reloaded on their web site, essentially ending the project's development.

It's really sad that Microsoft never came near close to that Longhorn showed on that promo video. And never will make a Windows like that.
So, since they know that, they shutdown LH reloaded. damnit.
Except that the promo video you are referring to was never made by MS. I liked a lot of what was displayed in there, but a lot of it would also have been impractical in the long run. Animations are fun when you first see them. But if you always have to wait for them, they'll become boring.
@@Hans-gb4mv Yeah I agree, very cheesy and little useful.
Probably in the Future
Yea, sadly. Some features in Longhorn are in newer Windows though
Man this brings back memories, as a member of that forum, which was filled with hardcore enthusiasts. It was very disappointing when this was taken down, but while it lasted it was very nice. The website was themed after this build, either that or the build was themed after the website. Everyone was a graphic designer it seemed so its hard to tell which is which.
WELL IF THEY HAD HARDCORE PRON WHAT DID U EXPECT. U WINDOZE PERVERTZ.
@@Mario_N64 wtf
The sidebar did come back in Windows 10, just very diffrent in apperance and functionality
notification thing at the bottom, I believe
and it's basically fully back in windows 11
@@EbenezerScroogeMcDuck yeah, a lot of ideas from especially that longhorn concept video seem to be in 11, like the social integration, rounded corners everywhere, widgets sidebar
Longhorn! Longhorn! Longhorn!
Hey, I didn't expect to meet you here :D
Yes.
The Best Windows Ever

You should enable Aurora. Makes the colored parts move. I used to have one of the graphics cards that officially supported all the aero without patching. There were also the popout previews when you hovered over files. It was visually beautiful.
Fun fact: build 4074 originally used the WIM installation method, but for some reason Longhorn Reloaded Is still using the "i386" installation
I have a question. And how did they do aero on Windows XP, which they did in Windows Longhorn Reloaded? After all, on Windows XP, aero is generally not possible. It is not available on Windows XP. After all, aero is present in Windows Vista (Longhorn) build 4074-5219, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8-8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11, but not in Windows XP. I'm just surprised. It's just a masterpiece!!! Please write in the description how these enthusiasts did aero on Windows XP, which they did in Windows Longhorn Reloaded. I just want to try with aero too.
14:16 and 15:32.
I know it's late, but Longhorn Reloaded is a modification of pre-reset build 4074, not Windows XP.
If someone can finish an XP-Lonhorn project, that'd be great for older computers.
I like how the window animated in this build while Aero is enabled.
Does Longhorn Reloaded have aero effects?
That "Jade" theme is lovely!
I've started to mess around with WinFS, and it's a very interesting system and concept... I'm sad it never made it.
Love this. Instant nostalgia for the good old days when XP was king and Longhorn was just a looming secret. I remember working on a group project developing a transformation pack that'd reskin XP to what we thought Microsoft's - even further into the future - touch friendly OS, would look like. I believe the code name was Vienna at the time.
Was gonna say I always thought longhorn was supposed to be Vista (which it is) and Vienna was supposed to be 7
I really love the window open animation. Is there a file in windows that controls the window animations? If there is, would it be possible to change it?; For example replace the open animation in Windows 10 with Longhorn's?
Why the hell does Longhorn interest all of us nerds so much
It's probably because it was never released in the pre-reset form. Vista turned out to be way different than Longhorn. I think we like to look back on these beta builds and ask "what if". It's kind of exciting, to be honest.
that sad you should get more credit, this channel have many interesting videos about the past adn very nostalgic, who knows someone in 50 years will discover some old technology vestige. keep it up Buddy.
which longhorn build was the blue plex? and also which longhorn build first got that really cool frost glass that kinda wow'd people? the one I see in here doesn't seem to be that.. would love to play around with these builds
The first build that got aero glass was 4050 or 4051 and builds 3683 to 4042 were plex (builds after 4005 had the more luna-ish plex)
Is this based off xp like longhorn was cause i have a windows 7 dell that supports xp vista 7 could i dual boot it with vista 7 and install drivers
i couldnt find THIS edition in the video. Link anyone?
Sad they didn't release anything between 2001 and 2006. There would be way more choices on what to install on older PC's.
Is there a way to connect it to the internet so I can activate it?
Can I get a link to a iso file
This is a little bit older version of Longhorn, but is more a 2002-03 Longhorn build.
I can get you ANY Beta/Alpha Operating System. So the Reborn edition will allow you to add drivers? Cause it wouldnt let me add or do anything. You had to crack the date if I recall.
Where you download this?
Do you think you might be able to include a download somewhere?
Thanks! :D

Thanks Michael Im Currently Downloading The Iso Image For VirtualBox Everytime I Tried Windows Longhorn Builds It Either Crashes Or Works But If Logged Out It Will Be On The Logon Screen Forver
is there a link to get this
no i didnt watch the whole video if your concerned about my comment idk
Not sure were I got it, but that windows Logon .exe is also compatible with windows 7. Looks great!
.exe?
MokerMovies fun to know that.
I love this sidebar wish someone made a program that would remake it
there are quite a few
Getting various drivers was always the problem as I remember back in the day
I could vaguely understand Microsoft shutting down the project if it was a Whistler or 7 build, but Longhorn 4074? WTF Microsoft?
old versions of windows like 2000 make me fill good
well what are you filling?
@@win_ini really my key board was broken
Download link? Have a computer with no OS, and this would be nice
Don't use it, It's unstable and outdated + was never released
How the heck did you even get this?!?!
Another Good Video
Thanks man!
One thing that is included in this version are completely new sounds, they were made specifically for it
Where's the link?
The greenish tint in the windows borders is because the resources to draw that parts of the windows (like png or bitmaps images) doesn't exist
Link ???
7:36 "I don't really know what this is, but we're going to install it."
Michael MJD in a nutshell
Anyone else think this looks nicer than the final version of windows vista?
Yes.
And Longhorn pre-reset was different than Vista, and better than Vista
Yes
The taskbar, sure, general windows and icons? No, not really.
Nah
This OS, (mod too) looks ugly
We have Longhorn Reloaded. What about either Whistler Reloaded or Longhorn Reloaded 2.0?
👍
Well, if you have xp then you have Whistler and if you have Vista then you have Longhorn, Whistler was the codename for xp and Longhorn is the codename for Vista.
Im glad to have the “longhorn reset” cuz the pre-reset looked like totally xp
I don't know how I downloaded it but I still have it on my pc
Love Longhorn reloaded 👍❤👍
Hmm what you mean by Windows 10 Longhorn edition
installed on my crappy netbook, it worked
link
What sounds? From XP or fake?
The irony that neither longhorn OR the longhorn revival got finished XD
Are they going to have to reload longhorn reloaded?
I LOVE YOU MJD
Wow. Early Aero Animations
there weren't "4 or 5" builds before the reset. The last build was 4093 or 4094, so 19 or 20 builds later.
In fact, many post-4074 builds are leaked. 4084, 4088, and 4093 have leaked.
I was referring to the amount of publicly leaked builds
oh ok
18:27 *Comic Sans alert*
That's not Comic Sans!
@@maricarackerman7526 The _"reloaded"_ is in Comic Sans.
That's Segoe Script
They predicted the sidebar from Windows 8!
You can do windows 10 technical preview
I’ve actually done a vid on that back in 2014 when it came out!
1:56
Download link?
Or torrent iso?
Microsoft didn't want people using windows longhorn reloaded because they knew it would prob be better then vista XD
Fuck you windows vista is good
@@wichaelalone to be honest windows vista was rushed, but with sp2 vista is actually good but that's why windows vista died in 2017.
Yay they're reviving my favourite version of windows.
yoo longhorn revival build fr this is cool
It looks like a transformation pack remember those haha..
Is this a real project from Microsoft or it is unofficial ?
clearly unofficial
I like 4074 better because it has my favourite aero theme AND slate theme.
19:23 MajorSky17's real name he mentions
better they should make a freebsd desktop environment based on the 2003 longhorn concept with the 3D spinning login logo, sidebar that functions as shown in the video (and looks like it), as well as a winfs implement for the aesthetic of file stores (dolphin and thunar are garbage.. they're garbage...). I love the idea of a catalog for things like my documents, music, pics/vids etc.. as opposed to just a typical folder with draggable icons as we do in today's file explorers.
Wonder why Microsoft only took down Longhorn Reloaded while there are also many unofficial Windows versions out there.
Maybe they secretly felt threatened by Longhorn Reloaded? Most of the other unofficial versions aren't exactly real Windows competitors with significant advantages. They're usually bloated, unstable, painfully unpolished, or all of the above. Longhorn Reloaded may have been kinda unstable due to being in beta, but Microsoft knew that would change if nothing stopped it. It was already more polished and much more streamlined than a typical unofficial OS. This project, if developed according to plan, would be an AMAZING option for optimizing older, unsupported devices. Longhorn Reloaded had a realistic possibility of denting Microsoft's financial gain by creating a plausible way to "modermize" the older devices that Microsoft wanted thier consumers to abandon! Not only that, but at the time Windows xp was a cash cow for Microsoft and Vista was the current OS. This Longhorn Reloaded project has some nice new features that xp doesn't, yet doesn't require nearly as many resources as Vista. It's a great stepping stone between the two. Virtually everything about this project could had potentially threatened Microsoft's earnings, unlike most unofficial releases out there. Perhaps that's the difference?
cmon michael, you coulda pt the download link in the video >:(
My unofficial versions of windows include windows 10 vienna edition my main operating system and windows redmoon
Other than the Aero stars (seriously, what was up with that?) I like the LHR look better than Vista, certainly, and auto-hiding the sidebar would have made it so much more usable. I'm willing to bet Microsoft was embarrassed that a small group of developers was able to get features working that their devs couldn't! Also, the desktop.ini file has been around for a while. I think it started with Vista? Most likely, the LHR group just (accidentally?) removed the -h attrib from the files.
I'm sad because I was part of a longhorn reloaded style project, and Microsoft took it down, again.
deep bass voice
have you got a microsoft cease and desist notification yet
Heyyyy
hello!

at 2:55 it says Longhorn Reborn but the yt title it says Longhorn Reloaded 🤔
Microsoft seeing this: 👁👄👁
I've used Longhorn, it's called Windows Vista
Okay?
@@Tendo641 Windows Vista was codenamed Longhorn
@@captainbossman1016 I know. So does Michael and everyone else here. The point of this project was to visualize what pre-reset Longhorn could have become. Nobody is arguing Longhorn wasn't Vista's codename.
@@Tendo641 I know that but I also know that there are other people who think that Longhorn and Vista are different operating systems
If Microsoft was Originally Released Windows Longhorn between Windows Server 2003 (or Windows XP if you don't care about Windows Servers) & Windows Vista...

hi :)
if you hate vista, you hate 7.
because they aren’t very different
Just because they’re similar doesn’t mean you hate both. That like saying you hate 98, 2000 and ME because you hate 95.
karen hawkins you’re pretty wrong...
vista and 7 are based on the same code and are clearly visually similar, yet you’re comparing a 9x OS to a NT os...
John R. Alright remove 2000 from the picture. That’s still saying like you hate 98 because you didn’t like 95. Yes they share a lot of the same code but they aren’t the same os there are numerical under the hood and performance changes anyway. 7 most likely wasn’t necessary anyway and a 3rd service pack for Vista would have probably been enough. But making and marketing a new os was most likely a business decision to avoid bad press since Vista failed that hard.
