In Milestone 4, Microsoft included the installer in the installation media. Remember when I told you that there was supposed to be a brand new image-based Windows installer? Well, it's here.
#WINDOWS VISTA WINDOWS LONGHORN SOUNDS DRIVERS#
I tried to get the DCE working, but with no working VMWare drivers for Longhorn, there is absolutely little-to-low chance of it working.

They all look OK in this build but the sidebar doesn't match the theme and the white logo doesn't look good AT ALL on the classic Start button. I thought it was interesting, but however it didn't ship with Windows Vista :(īut still, it also came with Windows XP's Luna and still has the well kept Classic theme. The setup was (disappointingly) the same as in Windows XP, but however Microsoft will implement a new image-based installation in the next milestone so I won't mind.Īfter the installation I still haven't seen anything new in the OOBE, but after setup there was a new style logon screen that has the same layout as XP's but it has different colours and it also has a clock that is seen easily.Īs I logged in, there was a mix between Windows XP and some brand new style called 'Plex'. The screenshots below are from 3718 which is not much different but it has the DCE (which still exists today under the name ofĭWM). With build 3683 being first to be leaked. Milestone 3īut the first milestone to be leaked, is M3. The builds in M1 and M2 were never leaked, but that's probably because the system was not up and ready for the developers to try yet. In the development circle they're written as M1, M2, M3, M4 etc. Before the reset Milestone 1 and 2įirst we've got milestone 1 and milestone 2.

Vista was rushed and quickly fixed after the reset in 2004 and somewhat finished in 2006. Windows Vista was not the best, we can all agree on that, but however, it was not the worst either (*cough* Millenium Edition). Microsoft Windows Vista (before reset called "Longhorn") Quick introduction
