Is there a source for this claim? "One of the biggest mistakes that people commonly make is that they think Microsoft Codename Longhorn is based on Windows XP, when it's infact based on .NET Server (Server 2003) Release Candidate code." (Maza (talk) 04:41, 28 April 2013 (GMT))


I don't know where it originally came from, but I did used to think it was based on Windows XP awhile ago, although I have learned my lesson. (NHL fan (talk)) 04:52 a.m. Sunday April 28, 2013 (GMT) 11:52 PM, Saturday, April 27th, 2013. (CCT (Canadian Central Time))


Posted by Hounsell few years ago:

"Strictly speaking, Longhorn may have started off being based on XP. However, through the 3xxx builds, it tracked the Server 03 base, splitting into 4xxx around Server 03 RC, which is what the later builds can therefore considered to be based upon." [1] (near the bottom of the page)
