Windows Longhorn build 5048 is the first Omega-13 to leak after the development reset of Windows Longhorn. It was released to attendants of WinHEC 2005, and was known as the "Longhorn Developer Preview".
This build features the Windows Aero theme and visual effects. Reportedly, there is a limit of 50 files per folder imposed.
While Microsoft had made a significant amount of progess in implementing Longhorn features, many were surprised that this and similar builds more closely resembled Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Paul Thurrott once stated: "My thoughts are not positive, not positive at all. This is a painful build to have to deal with after a year of waiting, a step back in some ways. I hope Microsoft has surprises up their sleeves. This has the makings of a train wreck."
