+MajorSky17 What Post Reset Builds you Doing, wondering if your going to do Both 5048 and 5112 (But Just depends on the New Features and Remarkable Changes... Right?)
4093. I played around with it for a while, loved it, but found it was VERY unstable. I always wonder what would've came from Longhorn if the reset didn't happen.
This build of Windows Longhorn also has a bug where if you add the display tile to the sidebar, Explorer will break and stay broken until you create a new user account or use a registry tweak to remove the affected tile.
ive tried downloading longhorn but i never get sounds (I use VMWare Workstation 12) I try installing VMWare Tools, but it gives me a BSOD then restarts. Lol
Joel's Dad After the reset, developers were not allowed to code in .NET (i.e. Avalon). There was one exception, it would seem - Windows Media Centre in Vista is Avalon-based. However, none of Vista's UI elements use Avalon as far as I'm aware.
@@WindowsOnWindows IIRC Windows Media Center has always been a .NET app since XP, and even in Vista and 7, it's only "plain" .NET 1.1 or maybe 2.0 (Avalon was part of .NET 3.0).
On longhorn if you use a laptop on 4093 at least havent tried others on it there is a battery indicator on by default on the side bar it even shows the percentage and if the battery is charging
The screenshot you sent for the text to speech applet is invalid. Not the user interface, but the text to speech voice. They changed Microsoft Sam to Microsoft Anna since Build 4074.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Microsoft, or a third party developer, took this build, got all these new features working, fixed all the bugs, finalised everything, and released it as its own OS? The question is would Microsoft allow third party developers to fix and release this as it is technically abandoned ware but still Microsoft’s work, I don’t think Microsoft would take the time to fix this
i wish windows longhorn was actually made, instead of, well..., Vista. It looks really intresting, and it would've been better to just release windows longhorn build 4074, then work on other stuff, rather than just Windows Vista. Than again, it probably looked amazing at the time, but still, Windows Longhorn was so ahead of it's time! It's amazing!
TL;DR: yes, but it's a .NET implementation that needs 2 missing XAML files to be added and often an Aero theme for 4074 (if you want Aero glass, otherwise it will render simple borders, in which case it's better to set it up as a service). It's very buggy and causes weird glitches on the desktop. I know this was commented a year ago but thought I'd just answer this since no one has answered - yes, but it's a weird .NET implementation that renders weird borders by default and needs two missing XAML files to work. It also needs an Aero theme from build 4074 (you can reconstruct it yourself), in some cases it can render Aero glass instead of weird green/blue borders. I've tried it on 4088 and 4093 with a patched glass 'Aero' theme: 4088 rendered weird green borders while 4093 rendered full Aero glass. The DWM in 4088/4093 is much different to the one in builds 4074-4082. The 4088/4093 DWM can black screen randomly, but it also animates some things like the Start menu and windows. The 4093 DWM also can be configured to run as a service, rendering simpler borders but not needing a 4074 Aero theme.
@@phantomofearth1 Odd I wonder why Microsoft decided to rewrite so much in .NET it seems like they were asking for disaster (which they eventually got)
***** Really? I'm surprised! Anyways, this build has a prototype Anytime Upgrade window that can be brought up with a command. It's related to the Windows Activation windows that you pulled up in the video. If I remember correctly, it had 2 editions: Home and Professional, in fact, it looked similar to the "Buy a product key for a different SKU" window that you explored in the vid, except it was called Anytime Upgrade. I'll look for more info on it and PM you if I find any. :D
I still remember when this build was available to download for betatesters back in 2004, memories. I didn´t know Microsoft was going to reset the development completely and that we were stuck with an obsolete version of windows
Anyway 6.0.4074 is the latest stable build so far. winworldpc.com/product/windows-longhorn-vis/pre-reset betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Longhorn www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_Longhorn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Windows_Vista Longhorn It's like Windows XP++ or XP 2.0
could you please help me. Im trying to install Longhorn 4093 for fun from a disc I burned it onto and place it on a partition on a secondary hard drive. I get to Step 1 set up we would like to ask you a few questions... then I cant hit continue my keyboard doesnt work! I only have a usb keyboard and mouse Razer anasi and a logitech g600.
***** TechWeekly Hmm. I did not hear from anywhere else that DWM is included on 4093. Maybe I should try that out on my Longhorn PC build (a computer build I have that could run 4074 with Aero Glass)
Aero is present in the form of taskbar and sidebar transparency (when the aero theme is applied and MILExplorer set to 1). DWM is however not working in this build.
Can someone go back to the past and tell Microsoft not to reset the development just to avoid making one of the biggest dissapointments in Windows history (just behind Windows ME)?
I have used 4093 a year ago in VPC, I go to control Panel, and then i click speech and there's anna and it identifies herself as "Microsoft English (U.S.) v2.0 - Anna" but i never heard her first voice yet...
*UPDATE* I had already install the Sound driver for Build 4093, and Anna's voice and her 'naturalily' voice was just the same as heard until Windows 7.
This build seems like a "Let's throw everything we can before we start over" kind of thing
Le Docteur Pretty much!
+MajorSky17 What Post Reset Builds you Doing, wondering if your going to do Both 5048 and 5112
(But Just depends on the New Features and Remarkable Changes... Right?)
+Windows On Windows looks likes windows vienna/blackboom 7 beta?
+Microsoft Beta Fan Yep, 5048 is up already and 5112 is up this weekend!
@@microsoftbetas5269 5048 and 5112 are truly remarkable in their own ways.
Have loved the videos so far. Can't wait to take a look at the post-reset builds!
Post-reset is arguably more interesting than pre-reset. It is to me.
I don't think we've seen an OS which uses the idea of componentization as much as this.
+Nazmus Shakib Khandaker True, although when I wrote that comment Windows 10 hadn't been released ;)
Windows Vista.
4093. I played around with it for a while, loved it, but found it was VERY unstable. I always wonder what would've came from Longhorn if the reset didn't happen.
Yeah, it would have been great to have seen in what ways it would have been different from Vista.
If they didnt reset. Would the os be called “Vista” or Windows 05 or something?
If the reset didn't happen then Windows Vista probably would've been released earlier, like by October of 2004 or early 2005.
If some of the icons here are the same ones in Window 8, then the icons are 11 years old!
Now they’d be 20 haha
i believe i have just got 4093 functioning in VMWare 12, still has it's quirks, and idk how well it works, but so far it appears to be smooth
Same here. If they would of added all of the components, it would be on real hardware (for me anyway) :D
Hard to believe this is Windows. Imagine how Windows 10 would look along with Windows 7 and 8 if Windows Longhorn was the new Windows "Vista"
A lot cooler and similar to Linux distributions
More bouggy
Washim Akram bouggy isn’t a word idiot
@@stfuyoutube423 when u type in dark
Or if Windows Longhorn was before vista

I love Longhorn!
The Startup/Shut Down sounds just are amazing.
I just love the voices. :D
nah bruh dey real
+MegaDog532 They are fake! Every longhorn build uses XP Sounds. Download a build if you dont believe me.
ive tried downloading longhorn but i never get sounds (I use VMWare Workstation 12)
I try installing VMWare Tools, but it gives me a BSOD then restarts.
Lol
You have to install it in VMWare compaitbility mode for vmware 6.5 and use special drivers that will give you sound. Also what build are you using
Build 4074. What drivers will I need?
I'm pretty sure wireless presentation is on my Windows Vista Ultimate PC. I'm not sure if this is pre-installed, but it's on there.
It is
Despite it's longhorn, it looks just like an XP which wants to be vista
Everybody wants a full Aero experience on Windows 10, but I feel like they should bring back the Longhorn and XP theme packs instead.
😩
The icons in 4093 are pretty much like windows vistas icons but are mirrored
Did Avalon end up in Vista, or was it scrapped?
Joel's Dad After the reset, developers were not allowed to code in .NET (i.e. Avalon). There was one exception, it would seem - Windows Media Centre in Vista is Avalon-based. However, none of Vista's UI elements use Avalon as far as I'm aware.

I wish longhorn made it out of Redmond
Try yourself: winworldpc.com/product/windows-longhorn-vis/pre-reset
It's got Natural Microsoft Sam as well? Nice!
That tree in the wallpaper looks funny how it's slanted and bent to the left.
On longhorn if you use a laptop on 4093 at least havent tried others on it there is a battery indicator on by default on the side bar it even shows the percentage and if the battery is charging
The screenshot you sent for the text to speech applet is invalid. Not the user interface, but the text to speech voice. They changed Microsoft Sam to Microsoft Anna since Build 4074.
Actually, scrap what I just said, it wasn't Build 4074, it was actually the one you just looked at (Build 4093).
Brian Stump But Sam was still an option, right?
***** No, Microsoft Anna was the only option.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Microsoft, or a third party developer, took this build, got all these new features working, fixed all the bugs, finalised everything, and released it as its own OS?

This would never happen.
Some fans tried to finish Longhorn years ago but Microsoft stopped them.
Incorrect. There was nothing they could finish. They merely added drivers, fixes, et cetera.
why i thought that longhorn was build on WinXP until build 4093?

Windows Vista was ahead of its time, as well. No one seems to appreciate this, however.

How did that work back then? I always thought MS would send out CDs with the installer to the testers
You downloaded the ISO, then burned it to a CD and installed it, it's that simple.
I wish MS puts a USB3 driver for Win7

It was only a disappointment for the uninformed.
When is the next one?
I heard that Microsoft Anna makes her Speech debut in this build...
That was 5048.
I have used 4093 a year ago in VPC, I go to control Panel, and then i click speech and there's anna and it identifies herself as "Microsoft English (U.S.) v2.0 - Anna" but i never heard her first voice yet...
*UPDATE* I had already install the Sound driver for Build 4093, and Anna's voice and her 'naturalily' voice was just the same as heard until Windows 7.
Anna first appeared in 4093, was formally introduced in Windows Vista, and is included in Windows 7.
Interesting
