The user icon cannot be changed after enabling the user tile on the Sidebar.<ref name="chris123nt" /><br />
<br />
Virtual desktops accessible through the Sidebar tile causes a massive memory leak in Windows Explorer, using over 100 MB of memory.<ref name="chris123nt" /><br />
<br />
Paint and the Control Panel crash on exit.<ref name="chris123nt" /><br />

Internet Explorer crashes when a user tries to download anything,<ref name = "techcritic" /> since some bitmaps are missing in this build, such as the download animation in Internet Explorer.<ref name="chris123nt" /><br />

'''''Longhorn''''' was the codename for the planned successor of [[Windows XP]]. The project was reset and replaced with a new project - ''Longhorn Omega-13'' which was later renamed [[Windows Vista]]. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as "Longhorn", causing confusion.<br />
<br />
One of the original - and largest - changes is that, with "Longhorn", the .NET Framework would be integrated into the core Windows platform, deprecating the traditional Win32 API. During development, portions of the operating system were rewritten, causing memory leaks and instability, particularly in [[Windows Explorer]].<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of "Longhorn" are not based on Windows XP, but [[Windows Server 2003]] release candidate code. The ''xpclient'' release branch, dedicated to XP, spun off from the ''main'' branch in 2001. The ''main'' branch continued to compile Server 2003 builds, until the ''dnsrv'' branch, dedicated to Server 2003, spun off from the ''main'' branch in 2002. At that point, the ''main'' branch began compiling Longhorn builds.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://longhorn.ms/early-development/ | title = The very beginning | accessdate = 2 April 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Codename ===<br />
"Longhorn" was chosen as the codename for the operating system to represent its initial status as an internim release between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and [[Windows Blackcomb|"Blackcomb"]]. Whistler and Blackcomb are names of mountains in British Columbia, Canada,<ref>Whistler Vacation Tips. [http://www.whistler-vacation-tips.com/windows-blackcomb.html "Windows Blackcomb: See Why Bill Gates Loves Whistler"]</ref><ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/faqtip/windows-longhorn-faq "Windows 'Longhorn' FAQ"]</ref> and Longhorn is the name of a saloon located in between the two mountains, representing the operating system's initial status as an internim release between the two products.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/product-review/road-to-gold-the-long-road-to-windows-vista-part-1-2001-2002 "Road to Gold: The Long Road to Windows Vista Part 1: 2001-2001"]</ref> Bill Gates would later state that this choice for a codename of the operating system was "a bit random".<ref>Levy, Steven. (November 23, 2003). [http://www.newsweek.com/hes-still-having-fun-133605 "He's Still Having Fun"]</ref><br />

'''Windows Vista''' is an operating system developed by [[Microsoft]], released worldwide on January 30, 2007. Prior to its official announcement on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename, Windows "Longhorn".<br />
<br />
Development of the operating system spanned approximately five years, starting in early 2001. Over the course of this time period, the product was first codenamed ''Whistler+'' (with some sources stating ''Idaho'' as a possible codename), and then ''Longhorn'' in May 2001. The first builds of the operating system known to use the Longhorn codename were compiled in May, 2002. <br />
<br />
Initially envisioned as a minor upgrade to [[Windows XP]], Microsoft later characterized "Longhorn" as a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system. One of the largest changes slated for "Longhorn" was pervasive use of managed code. <br />
<br />
While in its earlier stages of development, "Longhorn" suffered from many problems relating to reliability and stability. This was due not only to the premature technology on which the operating system was based, but also because of the way new features were introduced and implemented. For this reason, the development of the operating system was "reset", with a preliminary build, [[/5.2.3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629|3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629]] being compiled on August 19, 2004. Although this build is not known to contain any code from "Longhorn", it did include the "Longhorn" End User License Agreement (EULA), a testament to the build's authenticity.<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, only very early "Longhorn" builds were directly derived from Windows XP; later builds were based on [[Windows Server 2003]] Release Candidate code. Builds compiled after the development reset are based on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.<br />
<br />
During Beta 1 development, Microsoft named the operating system ''Windows Vista''. The new name was chosen to improve the product's image and reputation, and to reflect the new capabilities of the operating system.<br />
<br />
A total of two Service Packs were released for the Windows Vista operating system. Service Pack 1 was made available to MSDN subscribers on Febuary 15, 2008, and was released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on March 18, 2008. Service Pack 2 was released to manufacturing on April 28, 2009, and released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on May 26, 2009. In addition, Microsoft released the ''Platform Update for Windows Vista'' on October 27, 2009, which was comprised of major new Windows 7 components and updated runtime libraries. The Platform Update requires Service Pack 2 prior to installation.<br />
<br />
== Editions ==<br />
Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike [[Windows XP]], there were no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version.<br />
*''Starter'': This edition was intended for emerging markets and low-cost PCs. As in XP, the 3-program limit was there, and only 1 GB RAM could be used. Other software restrictions applied as well. This is the only edition of Windows Vista not to have a 64-bit version.<br />
*''Home Basic'': Found in low cost to mid-end computers, this version of Windows Vista does not fully have [[Windows Aero]] (though it has DWM), and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center is not included as well. However, Parental Controls is included. The hardware limits are much higher, and there is no 3-program limit as in Starter.<br />
*''Home Premium'': The mid-end edition of Windows Vista, this version included the full suite of Aero features and also Windows Media Center. It also included Premium Games like Inkball.<br />
*''Business'': The business oriented variant of Windows Vista, it contains several features like full RDP(client/host) capability, Group Policy and domain join ability. However, some "consumer" features like Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<br />
*''Ultimate'': The top consumer variant of Windows Vista, it is a merge of the features containing on Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. Bitlocker is included in this version.<br />
*''Enterprise'': The top business variant of Windows Vista. It is like Ultimate, but without Windows Media Center and includes enterprise-specific tools.<br />
<br />
Some of the features like Aero required higher hardware specifications to properly work on Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
==New features==<br />
Windows Vista was a revolutionary upgrade from Windows XP.<br />
# Windows Aero introduced, setting the framework for the UI that would be carried into future Windows versions including Windows 7 and later. Consequently, DWM was also introduced. New Aero features like Flip 3D were also introduced.<br />
# The Start Menu was given a facelift, also adding new features in the process like integration of Windows Search.<br />
# DirectX 10 was introduced.<br />
# User Account Control was introduced, increasing security significantly while also proving to be more convenient to standard users.<br />
# Windows Media Center was improved, and is now available in more editions instead of being confined to a single version in Windows XP.<br />
# Internet Explorer 7 was also introduced, introducing features like 256 bit encryption, tabbed mode and protected mode.<br />
# Windows Update was integrated into the control panel, eliminating the need to use Internet Explorer because of its prior reliance on an ActiveX control to use all the features of Windows Update in previous versions.<br />
# Control Panel was improved.<br />
# Windows Experience Index was introduced, providing a benchmark for system performance.<br />
# Gadgets were also introduced, along with an API for third party development and Windows Sidebar to house the gadgets.<br />
# Hybrid sleep was introduced mainly for desktops, providing the best of both worlds of sleep and hibernation.<br />
# The installation routine was redesigned, leading to better speeds, and features like rollback were also properly implemented.<br />
# New games were introduced, like InkBall, Purble Place and Chess. Existing games were also improved.<br />
# Windows Ultimate Extras were introduced for Ultimate users, enabling these users to enjoy additional games, features and services.<br />
# Parental Controls were introduced.<br />
# Windows Taskbar was improved, now showing a live thumbnail preview on hover of any program on the taskbar with the help of Aero.<br />
# Windows Explorer was greatly improved, now properly showing file transfer progress, along with a redesign of the UI.<br />
# Windows Defender was integrated into the Windows Vista OS, providing protection against spyware.<br />
# Windows Media Player 10 was introduced, introducing a significant upgrade over Windows Media Player 9.<br />
# The Login screen was improved significantly.<br />
# Windows Anytime Upgrade was introduced, providing an easy way for users to upgrade between Windows versions.<br />
<br />
==Features removed/degraded==<br />
# The Introduction of Aero meant that Luna, which was the default theme of Windows XP, was removed.<br />
# DirectX 9 performance was degraded compared to Windows XP.<br />
# The system requirements were significantly raised to 800MHz(Windows XP around 300 MHz) processor with 512 MB(64 MB) RAM and 16 GB(2 GB) of HDD. This could well be the biggest reason for the failure of Windows Vista.<br />
# Pinball was removed.<br />
# Windows Vista can now be installed only on a NTFS hard drive, dropping support for FAT and FAT32.<br />

'''Windows Vista''' is an operating system developed by [[Microsoft]], released worldwide on January 30, 2007. Prior to its official announcement on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename, Windows "Longhorn".<br />
<br />
Development of the operating system spanned approximately five years, starting in early 2001. Over the course of this time period, the product was first codenamed ''Whistler+'' (with some sources stating ''Idaho'' as a possible codename), and then ''Longhorn'' in May 2001. The first builds of the operating system known to use the Longhorn codename were compiled in May, 2002. <br />
<br />
Initially envisioned as a minor upgrade to [[Windows XP]], Microsoft later characterized "Longhorn" as a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system. One of the largest changes slated for "Longhorn" was pervasive use of managed code. <br />
<br />
While in its earlier stages of development, "Longhorn" suffered from many problems relating to reliability and stability. This was due not only to the premature technology on which the operating system was based, but also because of the way new features were introduced and implemented. For this reason, the development of the operating system was "reset", with a preliminary build, [[/5.2.3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629|3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629]] being compiled on August 19, 2004. Although this build is not known to contain any code from "Longhorn", it did include the "Longhorn" End User License Agreement (EULA), a testament to the build's authenticity.<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, only very early "Longhorn" builds were directly derived from Windows XP; later builds were based on [[Windows Server 2003]] Release Candidate code. Builds compiled after the development reset are based on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.<br />
<br />
During Beta 1 development, Microsoft named the operating system ''Windows Vista''. The new name was chosen to improve the product's image and reputation, and to reflect the new capabilities of the operating system.<br />
<br />
A total of two Service Packs were released for the Windows Vista operating system.

== Editions ==<br />
Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike [[Windows XP]], there were no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version.<br />
*''Starter'': This edition was intended for emerging markets and low-cost PCs. As in XP, the 3-program limit was there, and only 1 GB RAM could be used. Other software restrictions applied as well. This is the only edition of Windows Vista not to have a 64-bit version.<br />
*''Home Basic'': Found in low cost to mid-end computers, this version of Windows Vista does not fully have [[Windows Aero]] (though it has DWM), and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center is not included as well. However, Parental Controls is included. The hardware limits are much higher, and there is no 3-program limit as in Starter.<br />
*''Home Premium'': The mid-end edition of Windows Vista, this version included the full suite of Aero features and also Windows Media Center. It also included Premium Games like Inkball.<br />
*''Business'': The business oriented variant of Windows Vista, it contains several features like full RDP(client/host) capability, Group Policy and domain join ability. However, some "consumer" features like Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<br />
*''Ultimate'': The top consumer variant of Windows Vista, it is a merge of the features containing on Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. Bitlocker is included in this version.<br />
*''Enterprise'': The top business variant of Windows Vista. It is like Ultimate, but without Windows Media Center and includes enterprise-specific tools.<br />
<br />
Some of the features like Aero required higher hardware specifications to properly work on Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
==New features==<br />
Windows Vista was a revolutionary upgrade from Windows XP.<br />
# Windows Aero introduced, setting the framework for the UI that would be carried into future Windows versions including Windows 7 and later. Consequently, DWM was also introduced. New Aero features like Flip 3D were also introduced.<br />
# The Start Menu was given a facelift, also adding new features in the process like integration of Windows Search.<br />
# DirectX 10 was introduced.<br />
# User Account Control was introduced, increasing security significantly while also proving to be more convenient to standard users.<br />
# Windows Media Center was improved, and is now available in more editions instead of being confined to a single version in Windows XP.<br />
# Internet Explorer 7 was also introduced, introducing features like 256 bit encryption, tabbed mode and protected mode.<br />
# Windows Update was integrated into the control panel, eliminating the need to use Internet Explorer because of its prior reliance on an ActiveX control to use all the features of Windows Update in previous versions.<br />
# Control Panel was improved.<br />
# Windows Experience Index was introduced, providing a benchmark for system performance.<br />
# Gadgets were also introduced, along with an API for third party development and Windows Sidebar to house the gadgets.<br />
# Hybrid sleep was introduced mainly for desktops, providing the best of both worlds of sleep and hibernation.<br />
# The installation routine was redesigned, leading to better speeds, and features like rollback were also properly implemented.<br />
# New games were introduced, like InkBall, Purble Place and Chess. Existing games were also improved.<br />
# Windows Ultimate Extras were introduced for Ultimate users, enabling these users to enjoy additional games, features and services.<br />
# Parental Controls were introduced.<br />
# Windows Taskbar was improved, now showing a live thumbnail preview on hover of any program on the taskbar with the help of Aero.<br />
# Windows Explorer was greatly improved, now properly showing file transfer progress, along with a redesign of the UI.<br />
# Windows Defender was integrated into the Windows Vista OS, providing protection against spyware.<br />
# Windows Media Player 10 was introduced, introducing a significant upgrade over Windows Media Player 9.<br />
# The Login screen was improved significantly.<br />
# Windows Anytime Upgrade was introduced, providing an easy way for users to upgrade between Windows versions.<br />
<br />
==Features removed/degraded==<br />
# The Introduction of Aero meant that Luna, which was the default theme of Windows XP, was removed.<br />
# DirectX 9 performance was degraded compared to Windows XP.<br />
# The system requirements were significantly raised to 800MHz(Windows XP around 300 MHz) processor with 512 MB(64 MB) RAM and 16 GB(2 GB) of HDD. This could well be the biggest reason for the failure of Windows Vista.<br />
# Pinball was removed.<br />
# Windows Vista can now be installed only on a NTFS hard drive, dropping support for FAT and FAT32.<br />

'''''Longhorn''''' was the codename for the planned successor of [[Windows XP]]. The project was reset and replaced with a new project - ''Longhorn Omega-13'' which was later renamed [[Windows Vista]]. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as "Longhorn", causing confusion.<br />
<br />
One of the original - and largest - changes is that, with "Longhorn", the .NET Framework would be integrated into the core Windows platform, deprecating the traditional Win32 API. During development, portions of the operating system were rewritten, causing memory leaks and instability, particularly in [[Windows Explorer]].<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of "Longhorn" are not based on Windows XP, but [[Windows Server 2003]] release candidate code. The ''xpclient'' release branch, dedicated to XP, spun off from the ''main'' branch in 2001. The ''main'' branch continued to compile Server 2003 builds, until the ''dnsrv'' branch, dedicated to Server 2003, spun off from the ''main'' branch in 2002. At that point, the ''main'' branch began compiling Longhorn builds.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://longhorn.ms/early-development/ | title = The very beginning | accessdate = 2 April 2021}}</ref><br />

"Longhorn" was chosen as the codename for the operating system to represent its initial status as an internim release between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and [[Windows Blackcomb|"Blackcomb"]]. Whistler and Blackcomb are names of mountains in British Columbia, Canada,<ref>Whistler Vacation Tips. [http://www.whistler-vacation-tips.com/windows-blackcomb.html "Windows Blackcomb: See Why Bill Gates Loves Whistler"]</ref><ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/faqtip/windows-longhorn-faq "Windows 'Longhorn' FAQ"]</ref> and Longhorn is the name of a saloon located in between the two mountains, representing the operating system's initial status as an internim release between the two products.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/product-review/road-to-gold-the-long-road-to-windows-vista-part-1-2001-2002 "Road to Gold: The Long Road to Windows Vista Part 1: 2001-2001"]</ref> Bill Gates would later state that this choice for a codename of the operating system was "a bit random".<ref>Levy, Steven.

'''Windows "Longhorn" 4029''' (with a build tag of '''4029.main.030619-0000''') is a Milestone 5 build of the [[Microsoft]] [[Windows Longhorn|Windows "Longhorn"]] operating system. This build leaked on September 14, 2003.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20031003073831/http://msbetas.net/V6/ Longhorn 4029 Apparently Leaked]</ref><br />
<br />
This build was among the first to use the Pig Latin, ''onghornLay rofessionalPay'', in the desktop version string,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20060303002331/http://chris123nt.com/guides/4029/LH4029Guide_files/system_props.JPG System Properties] from [https://web.archive.org/web/20041120180929/http://www.chris123nt.com/guides/4029/LH4029Guide.htm Windows Codename Longhorn Build 4029 Tweak Guide]</ref> causing some to doubt its authenticity; however, this was part of the testing Microsoft had done to propagate the product name and version number throughout the operating system, in order to dramatically simplify the naming process.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. (September 26, 2003).

== [[Special:BatchUpload]] ==<br />
If you intend to upload many images at once, I think this method can help you since you do not have to upload the images one by one. You can even set the text in one step: [[Special:BatchUpload/Foo]] sets the text of each uploaded image as "Foo". Let me know if there are any issues, [[User:X010|X010]] ([[User talk:X010|talk]]) 10:52, 9 April 2021 (BST)<br />

<div>'''Windows "Longhorn" build 4015''', with a build tag of '''4015.main.030328-1500''' is a "Longhorn" [[Windows Longhorn#Milestone 5|Milestone 5]] build. Most copies of this build's CD are not bootable due to corruption, since it results in an <code>NTLDR is missing</code> error, and in that case it can only be upgraded from an earlier build.<br />
<br />
This is the first Milestone 5 build, compiled on March 28, 2003 and was leaked on April 25, 2003 by WiNBETA,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030510040609/http://www.winbeta.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1417&mode=&order=0&thold=0 Longhorn M5, build #4015 Released]</ref> after some screenshots have been leaked since April 13, 2003.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030422121026/http://www.winbeta.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1312 Longhorn starts filling out. Exposed 4015 M5]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050211101446/http://zolknetwork.com/news_display.php?article=592 Longhorn Alpha Build 4015 Leaks]</ref> It has yet another wallpaper similar to the Milestone 4 one.<br />
<br />
Windows Explorer has several memory leaks which can make this build difficult to use. Turning off the sidebar will usually stop these memory leaks.<br />
<br />
The latter year in the Longhorn branding in winver has been changed back to 2003.<br />
<br />
'''Please note''': that there is a second build numbered 4015. This was compiled by build [[Windows Longhorn/6.0.4015.Lab06 n.030403-1706|lab06]] rather than main, and information on it is scarce.<br />
<br />
== New features ==<br />
* '''Parental controls''',<br />
* '''Additional configurability for the sidebar''' - including being able to put it below the start bar at the bottom of the screen,<br />
* '''Libraries''',<br />
* '''Download manager''' - which was eventually dropped,<br />
* '''WinFS''' - causes memory leaks,<br />
* '''DCE''' - can be enabled with the ''uxdesk.dll,DceStart'' command in the Run dialog box. Note that a DX8 graphics card is required or DCE will crash. Only transparency included.<br />
* '''A playlist maker''', the UI of which is similar to a [[Windows Longhorn/Longhorn Days|Longhorn Days]]-era image from Heesung Koo's website.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=37158 | title = 4015 playlist maker | author = Melcher | date = 25 May 2017 | accessdate = 7 April 2021}}</ref><br />

<br />
Features in build 3683 include the [[Windows/Visual Styles/Plex|Plex]] visual style, [[Internet Explorer 6.05]], the [[Windows Sidebar]], and a display settings applet based on the Windows Presentation Foundation (then codenamed ''Avalon'').<br />

'''Windows "Longhorn" build 4015''' (with a build tag of '''4015.Lab06_n.030403-1706''') is one of the first Milestone 5 builds of the [[Microsoft]] [[Windows Longhorn|Windows "Longhorn"]] operating system. It was the first Windows Longhorn build to be publicly showed by Microsoft, during [[Windows Hardware Engineering Conference 2003|WinHEC 2003]] (May 6-8, 2003).<br />
<br />
At the conference, potentiality of the new "Desktop Composition Engine" (DCE) was demonstrated: with the help of some scripts included in batch files, several animated effects applied on all Windows shell items were showed, and the dynamic window scaling feature according to screen density was examinated.<!--<br />

<div>'''Windows "Longhorn" build 4015''', with a build tag of '''4015.main.030328-1500''' is a "Longhorn" [[Windows Longhorn#Milestone 5|Milestone 5]] build. Most copies of this build's CD are not bootable due to corruption, since it results in an <code>NTLDR is missing</code> error, and in that case it can only be upgraded from an earlier build.<br />
<br />
This is the first Milestone 5 build, compiled on 2003-03-28 and was leaked on 2003-04-25 by WiNBETA.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030510040609/http://www.winbeta.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1417&mode=&order=0&thold=0 Longhorn M5, build #4015 Released]</ref> It has yet another wallpaper similar to the Milestone 4 one.<br />
<br />
Windows Explorer has several memory leaks which can make this build difficult to use. Turning off the sidebar will usually stop these memory leaks.<br />
<br />
The latter year in the Longhorn branding in winver has been changed back to 2003.<br />
<br />
'''Please note''': that there is a second build numbered 4015. This was compiled by build [[Windows Longhorn/6.0.4015.Lab06 n.030403-1706|lab06]] rather than main, and information on it is scarce.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
* '''Parental controls'''<br />
* '''Additional configurability for the sidebar''' - including being able to put it below the start bar at the bottom of the screen<br />
* '''Libraries''' <br />
* '''Download manager''' - which was eventually dropped<br />
* '''WinFS''' - causes memory leaks<br />
* '''DCE''' - can be enabled with the ''uxdesk.dll,DceStart'' command in the Run dialog box. Note that a DX8 graphics card is required or DCE will crash. Only transparency included.<br />

This build, leaked on July 21, 2006,<ref>[https://www.webcitation.org/61G23u96U?url=http://winjade.net/board/index.php?showtopic=4864# Longhorn 4011 Leaked]</ref> is not much different from Build 4008, although by this point, virtually all references to Windows XP had been removed, including the old boot screen, which was now replaced by the actual Longhorn boot screen. The copy of this build that is widely available has a corrupt INSTALL.WIM, and as such, will not install properly, due to the damaged portion being the WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment). Betaarchive user ovctvct made a repack of 4011 that can be used to install Build 4011.<br />
<br />
==Main changes==<br />
* a new logo in the boot screen;<ref>[[:File:4011bootscreen.jpg|Boot screen]]<!--http://www.webcitation.org/64S2d0JYL--></ref><br />

* an improved windows for device startup options;<ref>[[:File:Longhorn 4011 Removable Disk.png|Removable Disk]]</ref><br />
* the possibility to create a "portable user profile" over a USB media where to synchronize user's files, settings and preferences;<ref>[[:File:Longhorn 4011 Setup Synchronization.png|Setup Synchronization]]</ref><br />
* a simplified "Filter by" area.<ref name=sample_pictures /><!--http://winreview.ru/e107_images/newspost_images/lh4011/thumb_004.jpg--><br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
'''DCE'''- can be enabled with command ''rundll32 uxdesk.dll,DCEStart''. A DirectX 8 graphics card is required or DCE will crash.<br />
<br />
'''WinFS'''- is composed of some services e.g. ''Windows Future Storage'', ''Windows File Promotion Manager''.<br />
<br />
== Bugs ==<br />
The icons in explorer.exe go 'fuzzy' when you click them.<br />
Some devices aren't installed by default, including the processor,but can be fixed by installing them manually.<br />

<div>'''Windows "Longhorn" build 4008''' (with a build tag of '''6.0.4008.main.030219-1933''') is a [[Windows Longhorn#Milestone 4|Milestone 4 "Longhorn" build]] that was privately handed out to a restricted group of developers and then leaked on February 28, 2003<!--<br />
--><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050211102035/http://zolknetwork.com/news_display.php?article=584 Longhorn Build 4008 Leaked]<!--http://zolknetwork.com/news_display.php?article=584--></ref><!--<br />

<br />
It includes the old and new plex themes but DCE is heavily broken.<br />
<br />
This build was a major update from Build 3718, with one of the most dramatic changes obviously being the introduction of the new WIM-based Setup procedure, albeit still in a very interesting stage. This build also had many updates made in the folder windows, although the rest of the build had not changed so much from Build 3718, however, it was quite clear that Microsoft had already started adding in the major changes that would later make Longhorn what it was.<br />
<br />
This build also had (with exception to the Help and Support Center) nearly all references, and virtually all major references to Windows XP removed by this point, most notably the logo shown within the About Windows dialog box, which was replaced by the actual Longhorn logo, showing the copyright date, 2006 (this shows that obviously, Microsoft was planning quite far ahead for Longhorn even at this point). The boot screen was still the same from Windows XP, but that was also going to be removed eventually.<br />
<br />
As with earlier Longhorn builds, the Internet Explorer included in this build, Internet Explorer 6.05 (basically, an update to Internet Explorer 6.0), was not much different from the Internet Explorer included by default in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.<br />
<br />

==Hidden Sidebar tiles==<br />
[[File:Internet Webcam link in Longhorn 4008.jpg|right]]<br />
A few Sidebar tiles are disabled by default in this build. These are:<br />
* '''RMA Test Tile''' - just the "Longhorn" clock png stretched in the tile<br />
* '''Longhorn Status''' - links to [http://longhorn/ux/dev/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Using=Lists/Project%20Status/AllItems.htm an intranet link at Microsoft]<br />
* '''Internet Webcam''' - links to [http://images.wsdot.wa.gov/nwflow/cctv532.jpg a live image of a Redmond, WA freeway], similar to the Traffic ticket from Sideshow, a prototype of Sidebar from Microsoft Research (see right)<br />
* '''Media Player''' - which is broken<br />
<br />
These tiles may be activated using the following code ([https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26533 Source]):<br />
<br />
<code>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\Longhorn Status]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="ShellInterop"<br />
"Friendly Name"="Longhorn Status"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.SharePointTile"<br />
<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\RMA Test Tile]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="Microsoft.Windows.Client"<br />
"Friendly Name"="RMA Test"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.RMATestTile"<br />
<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\Internet WebCam]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="ShellInterop"<br />
"Friendly Name"="Internet WebCam"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.StartBarInternetTile"<br />
<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\{8424cd74-e3d3-4bc7-87ad-15f569922c1a}]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="ShellInterop"<br />
"Friendly Name"="Windows Media Player"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.WMPTile"<br />
</code><br />
<br />
A registry patch was also made available by AlphaAddict that enabled the aforementioned tiles in 2006, but the download link no longer works.<br />
<br />
* '''Messenger Status Tile''' - This tile only works if you are using Windows Messenger. You cannot use MSN Messenger with this tile. Also, this tile does not work with Windows Messenger 4.0, you will need 4.6 or 4.7 for it to function correctly. In order to activate this tile, do the following:<br />
** Navigate to <code>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\]</code><br />
** Create a new KEY called <code>{62F329E0-B71B-4DDA-8323-628AC066531D}</code><br />
** In the new Key Create the following STRING Values and set the values to what is to the right of the equals sign.<br />
*** <code>AssemblyName</code> = <code>Microsoft.Windows.PPLRTC1</code><br />
*** <code>Friendly Name</code> = <code>Messenger Status</code><br />
*** <code>Type</code> = <code>MS.Internal.Communications.Controls.MeTile</code><br />

<br />
It includes the old and new plex themes but DCE is heavily broken.<br />
<br />
This build was a major update from Build 3718, with one of the most dramatic changes obviously being the introduction of the new WIM-based Setup procedure, albeit still in a very interesting stage. This build also had many updates made in the folder windows, although the rest of the build had not changed so much from Build 3718, however, it was quite clear that Microsoft had already started adding in the major changes that would later make Longhorn what it was.<br />
<br />
This build also had (with exception to the Help and Support Center) nearly all references, and virtually all major references to Windows XP removed by this point, most notably the logo shown within the About Windows dialog box, which was replaced by the actual Longhorn logo, showing the copyright date, 2006 (this shows that obviously, Microsoft was planning quite far ahead for Longhorn even at this point). The boot screen was still the same from Windows XP, but that was also going to be removed eventually.<br />
<br />
As with earlier Longhorn builds, the Internet Explorer included in this build, Internet Explorer 6.05 (basically, an update to Internet Explorer 6.0), was not much different from the Internet Explorer included by default in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.<br />

==Hidden Sidebar tiles==<br />
[[File:Internet Webcam link in Longhorn 4008.jpg|right]]<br />
A few Sidebar tiles are disabled by default in this build. These are:<br />
* '''RMA Test Tile''' - just the "Longhorn" clock png stretched in the tile<br />
* '''Longhorn Status''' - links to [http://longhorn/ux/dev/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Using=Lists/Project%20Status/AllItems.htm an intranet link at Microsoft]<br />
* '''Internet Webcam''' - links to [http://images.wsdot.wa.gov/nwflow/cctv532.jpg a live image of a Redmond, WA freeway], similar to the Traffic ticket from Sideshow, a prototype of Sidebar from Microsoft Research (see right)<br />
* '''Media Player''' - which is broken<br />
<br />
These tiles may be activated using the following code ([https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26533 Source]):<br />
<br />
<code>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\Longhorn Status]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="ShellInterop"<br />
"Friendly Name"="Longhorn Status"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.SharePointTile"<br />
<br />
<br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\RMA Test Tile]<br />
<br />
"AssemblyName"="Microsoft.Windows.Client"<br />
"Friendly Name"="RMA Test"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.RMATestTile"<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
"AssemblyName"="ShellInterop"<br />
"Friendly Name"="Windows Media Player"<br />
"Type"="System.Windows.Desktop.WMPTile"<br />
</code><br />
<br />
A registry patch was also made available by AlphaAddict that enabled the aforementioned tiles in 2006, but the download link no longer works.<br />
<br />
* '''Messenger Status Tile''' - This tile only works if you are using Windows Messenger. You cannot use MSN Messenger with this tile. Also, this tile does not work with Windows Messenger 4.0, you will need 4.6 or 4.7 for it to function correctly. In order to activate this tile, do the following:<br />
** Navigate to <code>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartBar\Modules\]</code><br />
** Create a new KEY called <code>{62F329E0-B71B-4DDA-8323-628AC066531D}</code><br />
** In the new Key Create the following STRING Values and set the values to what is to the right of the equals sign.<br />
*** <code>AssemblyName</code> = <code>Microsoft.Windows.PPLRTC1</code><br />
*** <code>Friendly Name</code> = <code>Messenger Status</code><br />
*** <code>Type</code> = <code>MS.Internal.Communications.Controls.MeTile</code><br />

== Your deletion spree ==<br />
Please explain it. They aren't fakes, so why are you deleting them? You need to be providing rationale rather than deleting things just like that. 500 pages is a freaking lot to delete without rationale. [[User:X010|X010]] ([[User talk:X010|talk]]) 18:37, 13 September 2020 (BST)<br />
: These screenshots had many unnecessary duplicates, and many of them were copied from other websites. They were also in lossily compressed format, and many of these screens has their own categories. I also think that we should have new screenhots which will replace the current ones, as they're incorrectly cropped or taken. I just think that the screenshots in that category were unused and there was no reason to keeping them here. [[User:ToMi1|ToMi1]] ([[User talk:ToMi1|talk]]) 18:42, 13 September 2020 (BST)<br />

==Longhorn build 4002==<br />
Hello, I saw [[Special:Diff/448181|your edit]] where you are saying that build 4002 is leaked, but in article [[Windows Longhorn/6.0.4002.Lab06 N(ntvbl06).030108-1926]] I'm reading: "This build hasn't leaked."<br />
Is build 4002 leaked as you are saying, or is the article correct? Thank you --[[User:CassiodoroVicinetti|CassiodoroVicinetti]] ([[User talk:CassiodoroVicinetti|talk]]) 09:34, 2 March 2021 (GMT)<br />

'''''Longhorn''''' was the codename for the planned successor of [[Windows XP]]. The project was reset and replaced with a new project - ''Longhorn Omega-13'' which was later renamed [[Windows Vista]]. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as "Longhorn", causing confusion.<br />
<br />
One of the original - and largest - changes is that, with "Longhorn", the .NET Framework would be integrated into the core Windows platform, deprecating the traditional Win32 API. During development, portions of the operating system were rewritten, causing memory leaks and instability, particularly in [[Windows Explorer]].<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of "Longhorn" are not based on Windows XP, but [[Windows Server 2003]] (Build 3663) Release Candidate code.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Codename ===<br />
"Longhorn" was chosen as the codename for the operating system to represent its initial status as an internim release between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and [[Windows Blackcomb|"Blackcomb"]]. Whistler and Blackcomb are names of mountains in British Columbia, Canada,<ref>Whistler Vacation Tips.

'''Windows "Longhorn" build 4001''' (with a build tag of '''build 4001.main.021204-1515''') is the first Milestone 4 build of [[Windows Longhorn|Windows "Longhorn"]]<ref>Hounsell, Thomas: [http://longhorn.ms/build/4001/ 4001.MAIN.021204-1515]</ref>. It was leaked to [[BetaArchive]] in January 2013.<ref>http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6083&p=323369#p323369</ref> Prior to its leak, screenshots of this build were shown by ''Dr. Nicholas Rush'' at YouArePwned's "Yet Another Longhorn Board", and by user ''bashar2000'' on the BetaArchive forums.<ref>http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22603</ref><br />

This build is among the earliest builds to use a new WIM-based setup routine, one of the first radical departures from the previous Windows NT codebase. The WIM-based setup routine works by having all of the setup files stored within what is essentially a single disk image, INSTALL.WIM, and, when booted directly from the media itself, loads the WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) and boots into the graphical user interface itself. Microsoft stated that their goal with this routine was to allow installations of Windows to finish in as little as 15 minutes.<ref>Thurrott, Paul: [https://web.archive.org/web/20161220132514/http://winsupersite.com/article/product-review/longhorn-setup-and-deployment-strategies "Longhorn" Setup and Deployment Strategies]<!--http://winsupersite.com/article/product-review/longhorn-setup-and-deployment-strategies--></ref><ref>Grabberslasher: [https://uxunleaked.blogspot.com/2008/05/howto-longhorn-winpe-windows.html HowTo: Longhorn WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment)]</ref><br />
<br />
Taskbar and [[Windows Sidebar]] bugs visually similar to those in 37xx builds are present in this build.<br />
DCE in this build is the same as in 37xx, and for VMware it only works on versions 6.5x.<br />

This build makes use of the [[Desktop Composition Engine]] seen in earlier Milestone 3 builds [[Windows Longhorn/6.0.3706.Lab06 N.021029-1731|3706]] and [[Windows Longhorn/6.0.3718.lab06 N.021119-1730|3718]]. Unlike later Milestone 4 builds, build 4002 uses the old setup based routine instead of the the newer one based on the WIM installation format. This build hasn't leaked.<br />

'''Windows Longhorn build 3718''' is a build of [[Windows Longhorn]] leaked on April 20, 2004. The windows do not contain glass effects at all until later milestones, but there are minimize and mazimize effects. It can be enabled in the Display Properties. This particular build is only one out of 3 in Milestone 3.<br />
<br />
Not surprisingly, this build is almost completely the same as that of Build 3706 and Build 3713, and as such, is also not much different from Windows NT 5 (Windows 2000/XP/.NET Server 2003) at this point.<br />
<br />
Unlike later builds, this build is very stable and rarely crashes.<br />
<br />
==Major changes==<br />
This build is the first one known to include:<br />
* a fully working version of Desktop Composition Engine, which can be enabled in Display Properties, with animations on window closing and minimizing;<!--<br />
