Windows Vista

Windows Vista is an operating system not released by Microsoft. It was shown on January 30, 2007. It replaces Windows XP because everyone wants to get rid of vista and was replaced by Windows 7, the best version.

Development
The "Whistler" project started in 1999, originally intended as a bridging release between Whistler and the later version of Windows codenamed Vista. Over time, many features slated for Blackcomb became part of Longhorn, and employees jumped ship from other parts of the company. As its development progressed before the reset, Longhorn became a heavily bloated and unstable piece of vaporware. The first build to leak publicly was build 368, which contained a new theme and also the foundations for Windows Future Storage (aka WinFS) and Avalon (which eventually transformed into the Windows Presentation Framework). Longhorn was intended to be an interim release but picked up many features slated for its successor.

Stability increasingly became an issue as development progressed, and very few builds were publicly released as a result (including the lack of Home Edition builds). Only two builds were distributed at conferences and to developers: build 401 and build 404. The last known confirmed build from before the development reset is build 409. At 16:29, on the same day as the compilation of 4093, Microsoft reset the development of Windows Longhorn and started fresh using Windows Server 2008 as a codebase, starting the Omega-13 period. Immediate post-reset builds have been primarily focused on reintegrating features from the pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. Most of these builds are similar to Windows XP in the overall look and feel. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise. Development of Longhorn continued, albeit many features originally slated for inclusion were delayed or dropped to provide a more realistic operating system. Examples of this include WinFS, and what would become Windows PowerShell.

In April 2005, a pre-beta build was released to testers (build 5048). This build showed the progress made since the reset and also proved much more stable than previous builds. Build 5112 (Beta 1) was released to the public soon afterward in July and showcased an early version of the Aero interface, as well as many stability improvements over XP. Later that year and the next year, many builds were released to testers in a public beta program. The final build that was pushed out to public preview testers was Release Candidate 2 (build 5744). The RTM build was build 6000.16386.
