Build 3790

[prayaas1998]

What the hell is(are) Build(s) 3790? 2k3, xpx64, lhd1 etc. etc. Is there any thing else that needs to be added in the list? How many times was it compiled? And why?

[Kenneth]

Because Server 2003 is superior to XP, and it was the latest OS revision at the time.

[prayaas1998]

Superior = increment! even Longhorn D1 was 3790, now isn't that superior to 2k3?

Windows NT 5.2 Build 3790 is the final build of Windows Server 2003. This would become the base of Windows XP x64 Edition and would also become the base of Longhorn Omega-13 (granted, with an RC build of SP1 included).

[prayaas1998]

So what's the point of recompiling the SOURCE basically without any additions at all!

[linuxlove]

Windows XP x64 Edition is the exact same thing as Windows Server 2003 w. Service Pack 1, just that XP x64 has the Themes service enabled by default, Windows Product Activation and all Server components removed.

The 3790 build of Longhorn Omega-13 is, from what I've heard, Server 2003 with an RC build of Service Pack 1 integrated. It was built to test out their new build system after the Longhorn reset. Pretty much identical to normal Server 2003, except that there's a Longhorn EULA instead of a Server 2003 EULA.

When they decided that that Longhorn development would be reset, they decided that it would be better to use Server 2003 as a code base as it was the newest stable Windows at the time. So they compiled 5.2.3790 (with a client SKU) fairly hastily after the decision, to test the new build system, and gave it a Longhorn-branded EULA, marking it as the first build of post-reset Longhorn. It had no changes, but later builds improved upon this code, to make eventually what we now know as Vista.

think of it as test compile with jack [censored] init

There are 2 service packs for Server 2003. They are all 3790 unlike recent Windows where 6000 becomes 6001 and 6002 for sp1 and sp2.

Does someone have it?

Does someone have what?

[os2fan2]

Build 3790 is variously the 32-bit xp server, and the 64-bit xp client, both giving nt version 5.02.

A 16-bit client may have been compiled as a base for the longhorn program start. One should treat all microsoft releases as both legacy betas of last century's technology.

A lot of people have Build 3790 in its retail form i.e. Server 2003 / XP x64, however Longhorn 3790, which is practically the same, has not leaked.

It's a common mistake to assume that 3790.1232 is a Longhorn build - it is not. It's a Server 2003 build. There is nothing Longhorn in it (an EULA doesn't count).

Build 5000.0 would be the first Longhorn build.

When they decided that that Longhorn development would be reset, they decided that it would be better to use Server 2003 as a code base as it was the newest stable Windows at the time. So they compiled 5.2.3790 (with a client SKU) fairly hastily after the decision, to test the new build system, and gave it a Longhorn-branded EULA, marking it as the first build of post-reset Longhorn. It had no changes, but later builds improved upon this code, to make eventually what we now know as Vista.

Yep - they'd changed the build/lab system quite a bit, so they needed known-good code to make sure everything worked as expected. It was still a Server 2003 build though. That was the whole point. As for the SKU, all SKUs were compiled, it's more coincidence that the Professional Client SKU was the one with screenshots leaked.

winmain can't be from Server 2003. Server 2003 had the simple "main" during development and never had "winmain".

[hounsell]

winmain was the replacement for main with the introduction of the new build system - which is why 3790.1232 is pretty unique. It's the only Server 2003 build to be built in winmain.

i love you hounsell from the deepest depths but i disagree ... its the starting point of the newest longhorn builds , so this is longhorn . whether or not you call it that is up to you ... but this is longhorn.

[Barabba]

no its not

[Vista custo]

You can think of 3790.1232 as the first test of winmain and the new build labs, it's just a client 3790 with a Longhorn EULA.

[XDude]

It is Windows Server 2003 (Professional) Build 3790.1232. It is a winmain test compile. This thread is getting stupid arguing what is 3790.

Believe what you want. Doesn't change the facts. What you are saying is that if a model of car is built in one factory, then moves to another, that it represents a different car, even though they are exactly the same. 5000 was the first build to have changes, and there were literally loads of recompiles of that and of 5001. There is only one 5.2.3790.1232.winmain.040819-162, and that's because it's just a test run, as XDude and Vista custo says. How many people with a far greater understanding of it have to say it before you think there might be merit to the most logical conclusion?

[TheWindowsXPGuy]

Can anyone confirm that 3790 was uploaded to the FTP then deleted shortly after?

I was reading a few posts that said it was uploaded, but someone deleted it.

[Vista custo]

I saw it on there briefly but it was deleted and the rest of the big leaks during that day was put in its place.

[prayaas1998]

Maybe it was fake. A kid might have himself built it with a fake EULA.

[hounsell]

It's real - This guy doesn't fake.
