Windows Code Name Longhorn introduces a breakthrough user experience and is designed
to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and
to control your computing experience. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive,
and helpful. At least, it was meant to be.
It took way too long but here it is. With this release we'd like to remember an old Friend of us - Benjamin Aaron Lucas/Utakz.
May he rest in peace..
Changelog
- Various explorer fixes
- Aero, featuring the well known preview pane aurora
- Services fixes
- W-Lan fix
- other small things..

Repacked with the theme, appa, and the other fixes.
Anyone got DWM running in this repack? I got the VMWare 3D WDDM drivers to install from hounsell's driver kit but DWM won't run, at least when I try C:\WINDOWS\i386\sbctl.exe start

I wouldn't expect the WDDM drivers to work as they're for Vista/7. I use SVGA II in VMWare 7 and it works.
What exactly do you mean by "evolve"?
The build released is exactly what most of the people where seeking for since 2004. There's no need to start anything like a customization project, it's just as the title says - the way it was meant to be. Oh, and it's no repack, the WIM is exactly the same as 4074s original, same PE and everything - only extractable using Ximage 4059.

Not working here. I tried starting DWM and it just resulted in Explorer and all window borders going invisible. Oh yeah, it also disabled the Themes service for some reason.

Just tried that and it caused Explorer to go totally insane. I guess I'll try re-installing and see where that gets me. Maybe it's not a good idea to use a winlogon patch and AntiWPA at the same time.

It is not a good idea use AntiWPA on 4074. Winlogon patch is already patched for both activation and timebomb.

What version of VMWare? Because I got that on VMWare 8 and VMWare Player 3.
Also to restart the themes service run this in cmd.

Maybe he means other bits that can be enabled or fixed.
Every box with any belongings in it is just Isus's theft from ŽL.
