Windows Vista Build 5212

Post by ActivateYourTech »

Hi,

I was installing Windows Vista build 5212. After it installed I started exploring it. I explored the CD and found Avalon files for x64, x86 and IA-64. The other thing is in sticky notes, I saw a yellow Luna theme. (screenshots below) BetaWiki says that Luna was removed in build 5060. So, does anyone have an explanation?

(Don't mind the VM name, I use this VM for videos of Longhorn to Vista and was not bothered to change it)

Thanks

I don't like Windows 10/11. I like (best to 4th best): 7, 8.1, Vista, and XP.
Cars I like: Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Aura, Tata Tiago, Suzuki Dzire, and Suzuki Ciaz
New Zealand should win the T20 wc this year! (sad after 2019...)

This is normal, as even Windows Vista SP2 have this quirk

Because sticky notes doesn't use normal window framework; it renders the min/max/close buttons and such from resources in the .exe file
You can get the same themed Sticky Notes app in later Windows (7 onwards) by porting .exe and .mui from Vista
