Windows longhorn winhec build

Topics longhorn , vista , archive. If there are two builds from the same lab with the same build number, but a different compile date, the whole build string will be in brackets. The following builds are IA only: idx01 , idx A BetaArchive user has posted some screenshots of these builds. Most ISOs of this build do not have the fix applied which is to copy the included coverage. Have Windows 7 on your pc and have xp mode running then you can get access to the longhorn by installing the iso file.

Thanks you for your huge iso archive dude. I think that is a hint of things to come from Longhorn. I would rather Longhorn take a while and get it right the first time than be inundated with Service Packs and then have the OS mature. And with a lot of technologies from Longhorn being ported to XP my investment in XP is even more secure. Granted that right now Longhorn looks pretty silly but I bet that wont be the case pretty soon. That is the feeling I have. Of course I could be wrong but MS has been unusually aggressive lately when it comes to improving the quality of their products.

MSFT stock will continue to flatline. Longhorn build is not only disappointing from an end user perspective but even more from a developers perspective.

This was about time and very likely we will see more vendors following. Oh well. You can get much the same with Ubuntu Linux for free.

How much is a non-student copy of Redhat anyway? Honestly, you guys think too much in terms of the operating system — like Apple has this nifty new search feature and the browser does RSS, so you think the rest of us are creaming our pants — not so.

They have 20,? Much of the development since Windows and Office seems to have been merely cosmetic, and nearly equivalent to the programs and add-ins we see from small 1 man and free developers. The main purpose of this build was to lock down the kernel-level changes in the new OS. What exactly do you expect? Care to explain that? What levels? Stability, speed, user friendlyness, what? Also, care to back up your point? There are idiot proof linux distros, and it is very much ready for the desktop.

Have you even tried linux and if you have did you try something like Gentoo or something else?? The problem, I was told recently, was that the underpinnings of Longhorn—then based on the Windows XP code base—were struggling under the weight of all of the technologies that Microsoft planed to implement in this release. The series builds were scrapped, and the company started building Longhorn again from scratch, using the Windows Server Service Pack 1 SP1, see my preview code base.

This tells me that Windows NT codebase is over as an operating system. God knows what Microsoft will do. The last company to decide that they had outgrown their OS codebase was Apple, and guess what they migrated to? Only quite recently, early last year I think, Microsoft were actually basing Longhorn off Windows because they wanted that componentisation goal, and they probably wanted one Windows codebase understandably.

In contrast Apple have been able to implement umpteen features in Mac OS, including search and a Dashboard feature, with far less resources than Microsoft has. I thought it would. It too up too much screen estate and it looked crap. In any event, once you present Setup with a disk it knows how to use, sit back and wait, because Longhorn build takes well over an hour to install.

Nice work, guys. Instead of a pop-up All Programs sub-menu the All Program entry now triggers a visual change where the All Programs menu items replace the left side of the Start Menu Figure. If you open a folder from there, the menu expands, causing a gasp scroll bar to appear Figure. Wow, does anyone find those screenhots of the Start Menu familiar?

That represents the exact same problems that Linux distributors and desktop environment have grappled with in terms of categorising and presenting applications! I seriously doubt the utility of this feature, but whatever: Anyone who uses the mouse to select a search box, then types in an application name, and then once again uses the mouse to select the correct application from the search results list has long ago given up any semblance of trying to be efficient.

There are obviously some major usability issues with that though. Funnily enough, there is a discussion going on on the KDE usability mailing list right now about that very same application menu search feature!

John also owns a digital camera for which he needs a suitable application for photo editing resize, crop, red-eye-removal. I feel bad for those who expected so much from Longhorn. It was of course evident that Microsoft had not much new to offer.

Their OS is not only good enough, but what else can it include really? It can only add either modules to replace existing modules GUI for example , or applications unbundlded so far antivirus for example , or applications that finally work File search, renamed desktop search. The only thing that is missing is security but that would require a complete overhaul of Windows architecture, and a complete revisit of the API.

So That won;t happen. In a sense now that they have a monopoly on the OS side, they are strictly limited by the growth of the PC market, which is pretty flat now. So the innovations wont come from the OS or the office applications.

Not even an overhaul. The only new things we will see on windows is more lock-in, like the WinFS thing if it ever materialise, or Ingigo and their web service API.

Hence they will continue to innovate. Again and again. Apple is hungry. That is for sure. This process is internally called self-hosting. The newest Windows product at the time of the reset in late was Windows Server SP1 RC, which was used as a base after the reset. The new codebase was first componentised before any new features were added to it. Work on componentising the Server codebase had already begun weeks before build was compiled.

The post-reset range started at build Often times people are confused to hear Longhorn was based off of Windows Server To the newcomer it seems more plausible that it was instead based off of Windows XP because early builds look so much like it.

If you don't like 7-Zip, that's not our problem. But we recommend it. WinWorld is missing a bunch of builds. This is a list which builds are misssing roughly correct 6.

MS wouldn't like NT5 to get even more functionality. Its functions inside the machine give good results. Betawiki says: On some computers and emulators, the mouse does not work in the WinPE for this build and subsequent builds.

If the mouse doesn't work, you must use the keyboard to navigate the WinPE. Missileboi said: Can someone put a link for Windows Longhorn build ?
