'''<code>winver</code>''', short for '''Windows Version''', is a utility included in most versions of [[Microsoft Windows]] used to obtain information about the operating system version. Depending on the Windows version, the tool is also referred to as '''Windows-version utility''' or '''Version Reporter Applet''' in its file version information on DOS-based Windows and Windows NT, respectively.<br />
<br />
It was first introduced in [[Windows 3.0]], where it was implemented as a simple message box with the Windows logo, major and minor version number, copyright notice and information about the currently active mode of operation. The tool also includes a custom [[MS-DOS]] executable stub that prints the version information onto the screen. It was kept virtually unchanged throughout the classic Windows series, with [[Windows 3.1]] only changing the logo, and [[Windows 95]] reducing the version information to the operating system name.<br />
<br />
On NT-based Windows versions, the utility was included since [[Windows NT 3.1]], where it was implemented similarly to its 16-bit counterpart as a simple box with the Windows logo, version and build numbers and a copyright notice. However, starting with [[Windows NT 3.5x#Windows NT 3.5|Windows NT 3.5]], it merely calls the <code>[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shellaboutw ShellAbout]</code> API function to display a standard about box, which aside from the version and copyright notices also contained information about the computer and the registered owner. With the introduction of the [[timebomb]] during the development of [[Windows 2000]], winver was updated to query information about the timebomb, and if present, display it in the about box.<br />
<br />
On Windows versions that don't include a standalone <code>winver.exe</code> executable, such as Windows Server Core or the [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]], the dialog can be invoked using the <code>rundll32 shell32,ShellAbout</code> command. However, when invoked this way, the dialog won't include timebomb information, as that functionality is exclusive to the applet. The dialog caption will show garbled characters when invoked this way due to the differences between the parameters expected by <code>rundll32</code> and the actual signature of the function.<br />

There is a very odd thing I found out about winmain in the time period between builds 7232 (Win7) and 7700 (Win8). While 7232 already features the final Harmony wallpaper, 7700 oddly reused the betta fish one. The 7700 page said that it can be implied that this build was formed from a Win7 RC build. I really doubt this, because it's also possible that they just reverted this wallpaper thing for Win8/future winmain development. (At least the betta fish was used until Microsoft started the Technical Preview/Insider Program.) - <code>[[File:Windows logo (2003).svg|18px]] [[User:Bob2204|Bob2204]]</code> [[File:Arrow.png|15px]] Click here to begin.

== Purge <s>all</s> non-Windows related content (reopen) ==<br />
This is a reopen of [https://betawiki.net/wiki/BetaWiki:Community_portal/Archive_11#Purge_all_non-Windows_related_content my version] of [https://betawiki.net/wiki/BetaWiki:Community_portal/Archive_6#Purge_all_non-Windows_related_content a proposal by orbitron] that was abandoned, because apparently the aforementioned proposals aren't being passed through.<br />
<br />
Basically, most non-Windows stuff on the wiki, except macOS, iOS, DOS, and OS/2, gets literally no activity besides one or two users. Most pages covering Linux are too short and hardly contain any notable information (and no, bugs don't count as notable). The new features and changes present in each distro version are also not covered properly and the pages only contain the image of the desktop or the home screen, which is not enough for a good article.<br />
<br />
While the original proposal focused on all non-Windows content, I wanted to only focus on free-and-open-source OSes (such as Linux, BSD, and Haiku), Android, non-preinstalled web browsers (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Netscape) and other less important OSes. For free-and-open source OSes and Android, they have been moved to [https://distro.wikitide.com/ a dedicated wiki that focused on these OSes.] For non-preinstalled web browsers, there are already Wikipedia pages for these browsers.

Most Linux distributions in BetaWiki are not notable, and by "not notable" I mean most of the articles talking about a Linux distro are too short, low quality, and hardly contain any useful or notable information. The Android articles are a good example of this, since they are made of an infobox, a lead sentence, a list of changes (or builds), and that's it. The information necessary for a knowledge base, such as the development history, features, and the overall aspects of a Linux distro, is also missing from the aforementioned articles. Other websites did a much better job at documenting these distros since they are not Windows-centric, unlike BetaWiki.

'''Microsoft Windows''', commonly referred to as '''Windows''', is a family of proprietary graphical operating systems developed by [[w:Microsoft|Microsoft]], which includes various products for different markets and industries that use a similar user interface and feature set. The original version of Windows was a graphical environment running on top of [[MS-DOS]], although later versions increasingly took on the characteristics of a full operating system. Since [[Windows XP]], all desktop versions of Windows use the portable NT hybrid kernel that does not rely on MS-DOS.<br />
<br />
The Windows family currently encompasses the main consumer version named simply Windows, as well as [[Windows Server]] for the server market and [[Windows IoT]] for the embedded market, although they are all based on the common desktop Windows codebase. Internally, another variant called [[Windows Core OS]] is also currently in development, which is also based on the NT kernel, although it is not based on desktop Windows. In the past, the family also included Windows RT for ARM-based tablets, [[Windows Phone]] or Windows Mobile for smartphones, [[Windows Embedded Compact]], or the MS-DOS based line.<br />
<br />
Since [[Windows 95]], most Windows versions have used the same user interface that included the [[Start menu]], a [[taskbar]] on the edge of the screen and a desktop, as well as overlapping or full screen windows with controls in their top right.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Win101.png|thumb|[[Windows 1.01]] was the first version of Windows released into retail.]]<br />
Microsoft Windows debuted to the world during the Fall COMDEX 1983 computer expo as a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Contrary to popular belief, the tiling was not a design nor legal limitation, but rather a conscious choice for main application windows backed by research at [[w:PARC (company)|Xerox PARC]], where some members of the Windows team had previously worked at. Windows did indeed fully support overlapping windows, though in practice the ability was originally only used for popup windows and certain controls such as menus and dropdowns. Although Windows ended up supporting [[MS-DOS]] hosts only until the introduction of Windows NT, Microsoft also considered porting Windows to Xenix as well as the [[multitasking MS-DOS 4]]. However, ultimately neither port ended up materializing.<br />
<br />
After multiple delays in its development, [[Windows 1.0]] finally hit the market on 20 November 1985 and achieved modest success, with over 500 thousand copies sold during its shelf life. Several minor updates were released in the following years, adding support for more hardware and languages. The first version used the [[MS-DOS Executive]], a simple file manager, as a shell, which is generally the first application ran on startup providing the user experience. Other applications in the package included [[Calculator]], [[Cardfile]], [[Clipboard Viewer]], [[Clock]], [[Control Panel]], [[Notepad]], [[Paint]], [[Reversi]], [[Spooler]], [[Terminal]], and [[Write]].<br />
<br />
A major update called [[Windows 2.x|Windows 2.0]] was released in 1987 adding features such as universally overlapping windows, which later lead to Apple filing a [[w:Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp.|lawsuit]] for copyright infringement. This version also introduced general support for VGA and PS/2 mouse. A separate edition called Windows/386 was also introduced that took advantage of the virtual 8086 mode of the [[w:i386|i386]] processor to preemptively multitask MS-DOS applications under Windows; this would be later known as the 386 Enhanced Mode and become the cornerstone of Windows 9x. In later revisions of the Windows 2.0 series, the original edition was renamed Windows/286.<br />
<br />
The Windows project was sidetracked for a while after the release of Windows 2.0, as Microsoft moved its focus onto [[OS/2]], the operating system developed jointly with [[w:IBM|IBM]]. The first version, [[OS/2 1.0]], was released in 1987 but didn't include any graphical user interface and could only run text mode applications. The following version, [[OS/2 1.1]] from 1988, introduced a native GUI extension called the Presentation Manager, the design of which was largely influenced by Windows, although it was neither source nor binary compatible. Notably, the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) component of Windows was replaced by the Graphical Programming Interface (GPI) that is instead derived from the [[w:Graphical Data Display Manager|Graphical Data Display Manager]] that IBM developed for the company's mainframe systems. Microsoft also took the opportunity to clean up some of the design mistakes of Windows.<br />
<br />
With the release of OS/2 with the Presentation Manager, Microsoft originally expected that most users and developers would eventually migrate to the new operating system. However, as the adoption of Windows slowly gained traction with Windows 2.x, the company started to reevaluate its operating system strategy. When David Weise, a Windows developer, demonstrated his skunkworks port of Windows to the i286 [[w:protected mode|protected mode]] to Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates, the decision to produce a new major version of Windows was finally greenlighted.<br />
<br />
[[File:Windows30-RTM-Desktop.png|thumb|[[Windows 3.0]] with its revamped user experience became the first widely adopted version of Windows.]]<br />
[[Windows 3.0]] was released in 1990 and became the first widely successful version of Windows. The new features included a revamped user experience consisting of the [[Program Manager]], which allowed easy management of installed applications. A new [[File Manager]] was also included to replace the former shell, which was now deprecated. The previously separate 286 and 386 editions of Windows were unified into one version with the ability to operate in three different modes according to the hardware configuration: <br />
* '''Real mode''', which was intended for computers with the original 8088/8086 processor. This was also the only mode which fully supported applications written for earlier versions of Windows.<br />
* '''Standard mode''', which used the protected mode of the 286 and 386 processors in order to gain access to memory beyond the first 640K, although it still switched to real mode to run MS-DOS applications.<br />
* '''386 Enhanced mode''', which in addition to the protected mode also used the 386 processor's ability to create and manage virtual machines for real mode MS-DOS applications.<br />
<br />
A major update dubbed [[Windows 3.1]] followed in 1992, introducing the new flag logo with colored panes. The user interface was refreshed in this release, including new, more vivid icons. This version of Windows removed support for real mode and the MS-DOS Executive application. It was accompanied by [[Windows for Workgroups 3.1]] with integrated networking support. An add-on pack named [[Win32s]] was also introduced in 1992, which allowed Windows 3.1 users to run simpler 32-bit Windows applications in the otherwise 16-bit environment and provided early testing for a more complete Win32 implementation in the next major version of DOS-based Windows.<br />
<br />
The last minor update to the series, [[Windows for Workgroups 3.11]] was released in 1993 and introduced 32-bit disk access as well as removed the Standard mode, raising the minimum required CPU to a 386. A 32-bit TCP/IP stack was ported from an early version of [[Windows 95]] and released in 1994 as a downloadable plugin for Windows for Workgroups 3.11.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
In 1988, Microsoft hired Dave Cutler, a former DEC engineer, to create a portable 32-bit version of [[OS/2]], the operating system that the company worked on in collaboration with IBM. At the time, OS/2 was a 16-bit operating system very much tied to the x86 platform with considerable DOS heritage. The new operating system intended to be a preemptive multitasking system with multiprocessing support. The design included a portable kernel with executive services layered on top of a hardware abstraction layer, and multiple environmental subsystems running in user mode offering support for multiple APIs. Portable OS/2, or NT OS/2, would have included support for both 16-bit and extended 32-bit variant of the OS/2 API, as well as virtual DOS machines and an implementation of the POSIX standard, which would allow Microsoft to run for US government contracts. Commercial release was planned for the early 1990s with NT shipping as OS/2 3.0, while IBM was adding 32-bit support to the original OS/2 codebase to create [[OS/2 2.0]].<ref name="PX00194">http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/0000/PX00194.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
Initially, NT was developed for the [[w:Intel i860|Intel i860]] processor, partially to ensure portability by preventing programmers from introducing x86-specific paradigms into code. When the team learned about the disappointing performance of the i860, the operating system was ported to the i386 and MIPS architectures.<br />
<br />
Following the success of Windows 3.0 in 1990, Microsoft revised its OS/2 plans as a part of its new "Windows Everywhere" strategy, which tried to position Windows as a common environment that could run the same apps on DOS and OS/2 as well as on the new NT platform. This included the addition of a Windows subsystem to OS/2 3.0 as a peer to the existing OS/2 environment.<ref name="PX07538">http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/7000/PX07538.pdf</ref><ref name="PX05171">http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/5000/PX05171.pdf</ref> However, this didn't improve the already deteriorating Microsoft-IBM relationship and eventually led to its collapse. The design of NT was then further changed as the Windows became the main environment providing the system's user interface, while OS/2 support was reduced to character mode OS/2 1.x applications. The change was first announced in January 1991 with the new operating system initially being called Advanced Windows.<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=XVAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT4</ref><ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=iVAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA103</ref><br />
<br />
A user interface was added to Windows NT in the first half of 1991, with network support following during summer. The first [[Windows NT 3.1 build 196|prototype version]] was shipped to selected partners in September and the new operating system was publicly demonstrated for the first time at Fall COMDEX 1991 in October. A MIPS build first shipped in a [[Windows NT 3.1 build 239|December release]]. Later builds added crucial components such as the registry, NTFS and the ability to run 16-bit MS-DOS and Windows applications. [[Windows NT 3.1]] was finally released on 27 October 1993 in workstation and server flavors.<br />
<br />
The next minor version, [[Windows NT 3.5]] was released in 1994 and included performance improvement as well as a new full TCP/IP stack, long filename (LFN) support on the FAT file system and other refinements. [[Windows NT 3.51]] was released in 1995, which ensured compatibility with the upcoming Windows 95 and added support for the [[w:PowerPC|PowerPC]] architecture, the PCMCIA interface, as well as file compression, or replaceable GINA.<br />
<br />
===Windows 9x===<br />
[[File:Windows95-RTM-Desktop.png|thumb|[[Windows 95]] introduced the modern Windows user interface with the desktop, Start menu, and taskbar]]<br />
Microsoft first announced a 32-bit version of Windows that would run on top of MS-DOS in 1991. Several plans for a low-end Win32 environment were considered, including a variant of the NT kernel cut down in order to run on an average Windows 3.1 computer. In the end, Microsoft decided to build the new version on top of MS-DOS and Windows in 386 Enhanced mode.<br />
<br />
On 24 August 1995, Microsoft released [[Windows 95]], previously known under its codename "Chicago", with a brand-new user interface with a [[Start menu]], [[taskbar]], and the desktop, as provided by the new [[File Explorer|Windows Explorer]]. Although previous versions already included certain 32-bit components, it was the first version to be able to run most 32-bit user applications, while it kept a great degree of compatibility with already existing 16-bit ones. Among other improvements in this version was the support for long filenames through an extension to the FAT16 file system.<br />
<br />
Windows 95 was the first widespread release of Windows to be integrated with a specific MS-DOS version, although Windows 3.1 was also available before in combined packages with MS-DOS 5 and later MS-DOS 6 (as the results of the Janus project). However, MS-DOS 7 in Windows 95 was used only as a bootloader and a compatibility layer for older device drivers. Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
The new user interface was also ported to the Windows NT line, with several [[Shell Technology Preview]]s being released for Windows NT 3.51 during the development of Chicago and the Shell Update Release shipping in 1996 as [[Windows NT 4.0]]. Alongside the new shell, Windows NT 4.0 also notably moved a part of the GUI stack into kernel mode, which greatly improved performance.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated an RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then-new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 25 June 1998 with the release of [[Windows 98]], codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate [[Internet Explorer]] deeply into the operating system's user interface as a part of the [[Windows Desktop Update]]. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface. A feature called Active Desktop made it even possible to set a webpage as the desktop background. Under the hood Windows 98 introduced the new Windows Driver Model, which enabled the use of the same drivers on Windows 9x as well as on the radically different Windows NT based operating systems.<br />
<br />
A year later, Windows 98 received an update which was called the Second Edition, which included a [[Internet Explorer 5|new version]] of Internet Explorer, added Internet Connection Sharing and improved USB support.<br />
<br />
In 2000, [[Windows Me]] (Millennium Edition), the last release of the classic Windows line was released. It carried over the improvements made to the user interface in its NT-based counterpart, [[Windows 2000]]. Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancelation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by [[Windows XP]] in 2001, ending the era of classic Windows.<br />
<br />
===Windows 2000 and Windows XP===<br />
[[File:WindowsXP-RTM-Desktop.png|thumb|[[Windows XP]] was the first consumer version of Windows based on the newer NT codebase.]]<br />
In the late 1990s it became more feasible to discontinue the aging Windows 9x line and release a consumer version based on Windows NT. Microsoft started work on the the next version of Windows NT immediately after the release of Windows NT 4.0, which would improve the user experience of the high-end operating system. Similar to Memphis, the user interface of Windows NT 5.0 initially used Internet Explorer 4.0 with the Windows Desktop Update, being later updated to 5.0 and then 5.5 during development. Management tools, most of which were left unchanged since the first NT release, were rewritten using the new [[w:Microsoft Management Console|Microsoft Management Console]]. On servers, the new version brought improvements from the canceled Cairo project, such as Active Directory.<br />
<br />
Beside working on the successor of Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft also released several new editions based on the NT 4.0 codebase. An Enterprise edition of Windows NT 4.0 Server was released in 1997, which was the predecessor of the Advanced Server SKU of later versions and was intended for high traffic and high demand workloads. Terminal Server Edition followed in 1998, which introduced the Terminal Services feature, allowing remote access to Windows computers. [[Windows NT Embedded 4.0]] was introduced in 1999, a specialized version of the Workstation edition that allowed embedded vendors to pick only the required OS components for the intended workloads.<br />
<br />
As Windows NT 5.0 got further delayed, the consumer NT aspect was moved into a following release codenamed [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]], which would succeed Windows 98 and later Windows Me. In 1998, Microsoft announced that Windows NT 5.0 would be called [[Windows 2000]], dropping the NT moniker to mark the NT technology becoming mainstream. In the end, it was released on 17 February 2000 with Internet Explorer 5.5 and earned the reputation as one of the most stable versions of Windows.<br />
<br />
Work on Neptune began several months before Windows 2000 was completed. The Neptune team heavily cooperated with the team working on Millennium, with the two projects sharing certain components. Development concentrated on a new task-oriented user interface called [[Activity Centers]], which was also included in contemporary Millennium builds. The project also toyed around with the idea of hybrid startup, later implemented in [[Windows 8]]. Neptune was canceled in early 2000 together with its business counterpart codenamed Odyssey and replaced with a new, more conservative project codenamed Whistler that would eventually become [[Windows XP]].<br />
<br />
Windows XP was released on 25 October 2001 and was a relatively minor update to Windows 2000, mostly focusing on user experience and better compatibility with Windows 9x. A new theme called [[Luna]] was introduced, replacing the [[Windows Classic|classic theme]] used in previous versions. A new login screen and fast user switching was also added, as well as better support for digital cameras, MS-DOS emulation and wireless networking. Windows XP was originally released in Home Edition and Professional variants, with an embedded version following a few months after. The [[Windows XP 64-Bit Edition|64-Bit Edition]] was also originally launched for the [[w:Itanium|Itanium]] (IA-64) architecture.<br />
<br />
Two additional editions for consumer use were introduced in 2002, both based on the original Professional edition. [[Windows XP Media Center Edition]] added the [[Windows Media Center]] (and later the [[Royale]] theme), while [[Windows XP Tablet PC Edition]] added tools and games for use on a [[w:Microsoft Tablet PC|Microsoft Tablet PC]].<br />
<br />
Development of the server counterpart continued after the release of the client version, resulting in [[Windows Server 2003]], which was released in spring 2003 and used a newer kernel. It was also the base for an updated version of the Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. Work on an AMD64 version started late in the development process and finished in 2005 with the release of x64 editions of both Windows Server 2003 and [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP Professional]] (also based on 2003 codebase).<br />
<br />
The [[Windows XP Starter Edition]] was introduced in 2004 for developing markets, including various Asian and South American countries and Russia. It is based on the original Home Edition but is noticeably more limited with some features removed and only 3 programs being allowed to run at a time.<br />
<br />
In 2005, Microsoft was forced to introduce a version of Windows XP without the [[Windows Media Player]] to the European market after the European Commission ruled that the company had been breaking its near monopoly in the operating systems market by including the player. The company therefore came up with a new edition originally called Windows XP Reduced Media Edition that included neither Windows Media Player nor [[Windows Movie Maker]], although the user could download them for free from Microsoft's website. However, the European authorities objected to the name and instead suggested the N suffix for both Home Edition and Professional, standing for "not with Media Player". The N editions were available for the same price as the regular variants, which lead to low consumer demand and some OEMs not offering it at all. The K and KN editions have been introduced in 2006 after a similar ruling by South Korean authorities, with the K edition adding links to third party media player and instant messaging software, and the KN edition in addition removing the Windows Media Player and Windows Messenger.<br />
<br />
===Windows Vista and Windows 7===<br />
[[File:Windows7-RTM-DesktopAero.png|thumb|[[Windows 7]] was a minor update over [[Windows Vista]] that aimed to remedy some of the common issues that contributed to its predecessor's bad reputation.]]<br />
Work on a new, major release of Windows started already before Whistler concluded development. The project, codenamed [[Windows Blackcomb|Blackcomb]] as a reference to the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia, was originally announced as the successor of Windows XP with new features such as a .NET user interface, integration with web services, or an advanced storage subsystem. However, the company realized that it wouldn't be able to hit the expected release date of late 2002 with the planned feature set and decided to first ship a bridge-gap release known as [[Windows Longhorn|Longhorn]], named after a bar between the two mountains, followed by Blackcomb itself in 2003 or 2004.<br />
<br />
Development of Longhorn started in 2002, initially as a spinoff of the still-ongoing server version of Windows XP. At the time, Longhorn work was mostly confined to <code>Lab06</code>, the lab that worked on the Windows shell and user experience. As Windows Server 2003 finished development, Longhorn development fully took off as new features such as [[Windows Presentation Foundation|Avalon]] or [[WinFS]] were added. With the cancellation of Longhorn Server in late 2002, most user experience features were moved to Longhorn while server-oriented improvements were slated for Blackcomb.<br />
<br />
As development progressed, many features originally planned for Blackcomb became part of Longhorn, causing both projects to be postponed even further. The project was subject to severe feature creep, as well as organizational issues. Many components were extended using the [[w:.NET Framework|.NET Framework]] and [[w:Managed Extensions for C++|Managed Extensions for C++]], both still relatively new technologies at the time, which lead to increasing stability issues. Most builds were plagued with memory leaks, resulting in only two semi-public releases during this period. Managed Extensions for C++ were later deprecated and replaced with [[w:C++/CLI|C++/CLI]] as a direct result of the negative experience from its usage in Longhorn.<br />
<br />
In the end, the Longhorn project was reset in the middle of 2004. The feature set was reviewed and many features such as WinFS or Castles were postponed or canceled in order to create a more realistic set of goals for the new major version. The remaining features were reimplemented in C/C++ as a ban on .NET code was introduced, with the exception of Windows Media Center. The [[Windows Vista build 5048|first public build]] of Longhorn after the reset was released to WinHEC 2005 attendees in the spring of 2005, followed by the [[Windows Vista build 5112|first beta release]] three months later, which introduced the [[Windows Vista]] name.<br />
<br />
The development continued at a steady pace, with [[Windows Vista build 5384.4|Beta 2]] shipping in May 2006 and two release candidates following in the months after. Windows Vista was finally released on 30 January 2007 in considerably more editions than its predecessor, which included Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate and Enterprise. The new version included a new overhauled user interface called [[Windows Aero]], as well as new security features such as [[User Account Control]]. It grew on to become one of the most disliked releases of Windows due to its immense lack of stability of the original release, although later updates greatly improved the situation. The large jump in system requirements caused by the long gap since the last Windows release and computer manufacturers marking underperforming systems as Vista Capable also contributed to its bad reputation. The server counterpart, [[Windows Server 2008]] was released a year later on 27 February 2008 and is based on Windows Vista Service Pack 1.<br />
<br />
As Windows Vista was nearing completion in early 2006, the Blackcomb project was renamed to Vienna. However, so many features have been postponed into it after the development reset in 2004 that its objectives became very unrealistic, which lead to its eventual cancelation. A new project codenamed [[Windows 7]] was set up in its place, which aimed to make minor improvements to the core Windows Vista experience such as introducing the [[Taskbar#Superbar|Superbar]], Libraries and Homegroups and addressing the negative feedback its predecessor faced. It was released on 22 October 2009 together with [[Windows Server 2008 R2]] and became one of the most popular versions, with as much as 20% of all Windows users still using it as of 2021.<br />
<br />
===Windows 8===<br />
[[File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png|thumb|[[Windows 8]] introduced a new user interface primarily designed for touch input.]]<br />
The popularity of devices utilizing touch input grew significantly during the late 2000s, and while Windows tried to cater to these audiences with the introduction of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and later the integration of its features into regular editions of following Windows versions, the Microsoft Tablet PC concept was ultimately rendered obsolete with the introduction of the original [[w:iPad|iPad]] in 2010. Unlike the Tablet PC, which usually was an x86-based laptop with a touch screen controlled by a stylus, the iPad was ARM-based, didn't include a hardware keyboard and was optimized for finger touch. This led Microsoft to work on a new version of Windows that would be better suited for such devices.<br />
<br />
Work on an ARM port of Windows, internally called Windows on ARM or WOA, also started soon after Windows 7 was finished. The core system together with simple apps were able to run on an Asus P835 smartphone as soon as January 2010. The new port was announced at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011, with the full Windows desktop shown running on boards using nVidia and Texas Instruments system-on-chip circuits.<br />
<br />
A new user interface based on the [[w:Metro_(design_language)|Metro]] design language was also introduced alongside the Windows Runtime, an application platform used for new, Modern apps designed for it. The new interface, also commonly called Metro, was designed from the ground up with touch input in mind—the new Modern apps ran in full screen and a second app could be snapped to a side with a large enough screen, allowing for up to two apps to be visible at any time. The Start menu was redesigned as a full screen interface with differently sized tiles, some of which could also display certain information using a feature known as Live Tiles. It also made great use of touch and mouse gestures, to the point that the Start button was replaced by such a gesture. An almost finished version of Metro was first demonstrated in June 2011 at the D9 All Things Digital conference.<br />
<br />
Prior to the official announcement of [[Windows 8]], the new features in its pre-release builds were infamously locked down using [[Redpill]], which made it notoriously difficult to research these features even after release. The [[Windows 8 build 8102|Developer Preview]] released during the Microsoft Build 2011 conference in September 2011 is one of the last known builds that still contain the mechanism, although it was already unlocked prior to its distribution. Two more public previews as well as multiple private previews followed in the upcoming months. Windows 8 was finally released on 26 October 2012 alongside [[Windows Server 2012]], and aside from the new Metro interface and ARM port (released as Windows RT), it also included a redesigned [[File Explorer]] and Windows To Go, as well as general performance improvements.<br />
<br />
Although Metro was generally well received as a tablet user experience, Windows 8 overall was criticized as being way too optimized for touch input to the point of considerably worsening the experience for the majority of Windows users who use a mouse and a keyboard. A large sore point of Windows 8 was the integration of Metro with the traditional desktop—or the lack thereof, as Metro did not attempt at all to integrate with the traditional desktop, which was instead treated as yet another app. Overall, the desktop was considered an obsolete platform by Microsoft, as barely any new desktop APIs have been introduced. This went as far as artificially limiting Windows RT to only run Modern applications and whitelisted desktop applications, which ultimately contributed to its market failure.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 8.1]], a minor update for Windows 8 available for free for its users, was released on 17 October 2013 and addressed some of the general Windows 8 nuisances by restoring the Start button on the taskbar, or adding the ability to boot to the desktop upon logging in. The Metro interface was also improved with updates to the Start screen, which now supported more tile sizes and was more customizable, improved snap view functionality which now allowed more than two apps to be snapped together and a new unified Search experience based on Bing. Later updates continued the trend of improving usability with the mouse by showing Modern apps in the taskbar, as well as introducing a more traditional title bar for Modern apps with a Close and Minimize button. Its server counterpart, [[Windows Server 2012 R2]] was released a day later on 18 October 2013.<br />
<br />
=== Windows 10 and Windows 11 ===<br />
[[File:Windows11-10.0.22610.1-Desktop.png|thumb|306x306px|[[Windows 11]] introduced an overhauled user interface based on the Fluent Design System which focuses on ease of use and flexibility.]]<br />
Development of [[Windows 10]] started after the release of Windows 8.1 in late 2013. The goal was to create a single unified platform that would run on desktop and laptop computers, tablets, smartphones, all-in-one devices and the Xbox and to create a unified application development platform that would also allow apps to run on all Windows 10 based devices. It also aimed to make major improvements to various aspects of the user interface of the operating system that were criticized in Windows 8.x like bringing back the Start menu, putting the desktop back at center focus and more.<br />
<br />
Microsoft also made major changes to how Windows was built and tested by introducing the [[Windows Insider Program]] which boosted the company's engagement with beta testers as well as distributing new pre-release builds more frequently than the prior beta testing initiatives. This also greatly cut down the number of leaks from within the company, which in the past bothered the company due to legal complications of licensed features becoming available earlier than expected.<br />
<br />
Windows 10 also introduced a new release model called [[Windows as a service]]. This allowed new features and improvements to be added more frequently to the OS without the need to release a whole new version of Windows every few years.<br />
<br />
Windows 10 was released on 29 July 2015 as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users and received much more positive reception than Windows 8 and praised the much more familiar user interface, improvements to bundled apps, a "rock solid" search system and more. However, it was criticized for its changes to critical OS behaviors like mandatory update installation, privacy concerns over data collection performed by the OS for Microsoft and its partners, and marketing tactics that Microsoft used to promote the free upgrade campaign for the OS which included adware-like behaviors. It was also criticized for its excessive amounts of advertising across the entire OS. <br />
<br />
[[Windows Server 2016]] was released on 12 October 2016 as the server counterpart of [[Windows 10 Anniversary Update]] and was later suceeded by [[Windows Server 2019]] on 2 October 2018 and [[Windows Server 2022]] on 18 August 2021. <br />
<br />
Development of [[Windows 11]] started in late 2020 during the [[Cobalt]] semester and unlike previous versions of Windows, a lot of the development work on Windows 11 was isolated in separate development branches and it introduced major overhauls to the user interface to make the operating system easier to use. With Windows 11, Microsoft shifted the operating system to an annual release schedule as opposed to releasing feature updates twice in a year.<br />
<br />
Before its release, Windows 11 was criticized for its much stricter system requirements which were called out as being artificial as they excluded many older systems from the free upgrade even though they would likely run Windows 11 with little to no performance problems and was also called out as a possible deliberate decision by Microsoft to upsell users on new devices.<br />
<br />
Windows 11 was released on 5 October 2021 as a free upgrade to compatible Windows 10 systems and received mixed to positive reviews from users with praise for its improved visual design, updates to bundled apps, improved window management and its stronger focus on security with criticism centering on its various modifications to aspects of the user interface that included regressions and it was also criticized for various changes such as mandatory requirements to setup Windows 11 with a Microsoft account, lack of promised features at launch, being less responsive than Windows 10, lack of third-party support for Widgets, and making it hard for users to easily set default apps for common tasks like web browsing.<br />
<br />
==Logo==<br />
The first graphic logo used by Windows was a stylization of a window that was inspired by the tiling window management of [[Windows 1.0]]. However, neither the logo nor the corresponding wordmark was used on packaging or within the software itself. The logo was changed in time for [[Windows 3.0]] for a different stylization of a window with black and white gradients used for the window frame and panes, although it was not featured in the product itself either. The only Windows media known to contain both logos as well as a preliminary version of the 1992 logo is the [[Windows NT 3.1 build 196]] installation disc.<br />
<br />
[[File:Microsoft Windows 3.1 Jpn box.jpg|thumb|[[Windows 3.1]] was the first version of Microsoft Windows to use a logo on product packaging as well as in the user interface itself.]]<br />
After the success of Windows 3.0, the company sought to create a definite branding for the environment. Preliminary drafts of the new logo featured in some beta builds of [[Windows 3.1]] already featured the same flag shape as the final version, although the panes were blank, the separators between the panes were thicker and the trail used several shades of blue, cyan, magenta and gray. The final logo used by Windows 3.1 and later uses red, green, blue and yellow for the window pane, with the flag's trail continuing the colors of the left-hand side of the window. It is the first one to be used extensively on packaging and within the operating system itself.<br />
<br />
[[Windows XP]] introduced a new plastic logo, which retains the four colored flag theme, although it removes the window pane and the trail on the left side. The original version, used primarily by Windows XP and [[Windows Server 2003]], is lighted from the left-hand side to give the impression that the logo is indeed waving like a flag. A slightly modified variant was used in early Longhorn builds, where the flag was white rather than four-colored, although later builds reverted to the original coloring.<br />
<br />
A newer render was introduced by [[Windows Vista]], which retains the same shape but is lighted from above, making the logo appear flatter than before. This variant often appeared in an blue orb in Windows Vista branding materials such as packaging art and also appeared in a white orb that was formally used as the logo for Windows Live from 2006 to 2009, although this was mostly discontinued with [[Windows 7]]. One of the last public appearances of this logo is in the [[Windows 8]] [[Windows 8 build 8102|Developer Preview]], whose Start button features a flat variation of it using solid colors.<br />
<br />
Windows 8 eventually introduced a redesigned logo that reflects the Metro design language, which was designed by [[w:Pentagram_(design_firm)|Pentagram's]] Paula Scher.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120304020844/http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/02/17/redesigning-the-windows-logo.aspx</ref><ref>https://www.pentagram.com/work/windows/story</ref> The new logo breaks away with the previous brand identity, showing a symbolized blue window at an angle rather than a multi-colored flag. Originally, the logo was cyan, but was later updated to a darker shade of blue with [[Windows 10]]. The logo shape was changed in 2021 with [[Windows 11]], which removed the perspective, turning it into four squares similar to the 2012 Microsoft logo.<br />
<br />
Neumorphic stylizations of the Windows logo, both the 2012 and 2021 versions, have also appeared since the introduction of [[w:Fluent Design System|Fluent Design System]], notably as the Start button icon in [[Windows 10X]] and Windows 11. However, the official logo itself still remains flat.<br />

==Look and feel==<br />
[[File:WfW3.11-HotDogStand.png|thumb||Color applet in [[Windows for Workgroups 3.11]], previewing the infamous ''Hotdog Stand'' color scheme.]]<br />
Windows allowed customization of its user interface since its first versions. [[Windows 1.0]] and [[Windows 2.x]] allowed the user to change the color scheme in their [[Control Panel]], however, there was no selection of pre-made color schemes and the user could only reset to the default scheme by manually editing <code>WIN.INI</code>. This was improved with [[Windows 3.0]] and its new Colors control panel, which added several color schemes for the user to choose from. [[Windows NT 3.1]] and [[Windows NT 3.5x]] also featured the same customization options, although compared to 16-bit Windows where the default preset was provided by the video driver, the defaults were device independent on the new operating system.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 95]] introduced a new 3D look, partially inspired by [[NeXTSTEP]], which also continued to support color schemes from earlier versions. Initially, it only made use of solid colors, though this was subsequently refined in [[Windows 98]], which added the ability to use a 2-color gradient for the titlebar. This look and feel was later retroactively renamed to [[Windows Classic]] with the introduction of more advanced skinning functionality in later versions.<br />
<br />
[[Visual style|Visual styles]], which support deeper customization of user interface elements, were introduced with [[Windows XP]]. The original release shipped with [[Luna]], while later releases also included [[Royale]]. However, users could still switch to the Classic theme if they so choose, which was necessary for accessibility functions such as the High Contrast themes that relied on the classic theme's ability to set individual colors. This was further improved with the addition of the [[Desktop Window Manager]] in [[Windows Vista]], which allows desktop rendering to make use of hardware acceleration using DirectX and is used for advanced effects such as translucent title bars used by the new [[Windows Aero]] theme. For users whose systems did not support the Desktop Window Manager, the operating system also included the software-rendered [[Windows Basic]] theme.<br />
<br />
The option to disable the DWM was removed in [[Windows 8]], together with the ability to switch to the Classic theme. The [[Aero Lite]] theme was introduced in [[Windows 8]] to replace the classic theme, allowing the user to customize its colors to a greater extent than regular visual styles and providing interoperability with the High Contrast accessibility feature. However, the classic theme implementation as well as support for disabled DWM still remains included with Windows for compatibility purposes.<br />
<br />
Similarly to other contemporary operating systems, a toggle to switch between light and dark mode was introduced with [[Windows 10]]. Originally, this only applied to UWP applications, although it later expanded to also apply to the [[File Explorer]] as well as the [[taskbar]]. However, the feature mostly avoids the existing visual styles infrastructure and therefore most legacy desktop applications will not use dark mode unless the application manually implements it. Work on a system-wide dark mode was undergoing as late as 2021, but was halted for unknown reasons.<ref>https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/its-2022-and-windows-11s-dark-mode-is-still-frustratingly-incomplete</ref><br />
<br />
==Supported platforms==<br />
[[File:NT4disc.jpg|thumb|Installation disc for [[Windows NT 4.0|Windows NT Workstation 4.0]], declaring support for "Windows NT–compatible [[w:i486|486]], [[w:Pentium (original)|Pentium]], [[w:R4000|MIPS R4x00]], [[w:DEC Alpha|Alpha]], [[w:PowerPC|PowerPC]], and [[w:Pentium Pro|Pentium PRO]] systems."]]<br />
Since its initial release, Windows has supported numerous platforms and systems. The original DOS-based line was constrained to systems based on the 8086 processor and later its successors, most important of which was the IBM PC and its successors, including their clones. However, several IBM-incompatible platforms were also supported, notably the Japanese NEC PC-98 architecture.<br />
<br />
The introduction of the portable Windows NT line allowed Microsoft to easily support other processor designs. Originally, NT was designed for the [[w:Intel i860|Intel i860]], however, this port was soon abandoned due to dissatisfaction with the performance of the processor. The new operating system was then ported to the [[w:i386|i386]] and the [[w:MIPS architecture|MIPS]] [[w:R3000|R4000]] processors. Although the latter platform also happens to include a 64-bit mode, NT operates it in a 32-bit mode. To aid with the MIPS port, Microsoft also designed the [[w:Jazz (computer)|Jazz]] platform, which bridges the difference between MIPS and Intel systems by using many standard components from the latter. Not all MIPS systems that support Windows NT are necessarily based on Jazz, though. Both x86 and MIPS, as well as future ports, use an [[w:ARC (specification)|ARC]]-compliant boot loader. On x86, which does not use the ARC firmware, the boot loader is bootstrapped by an ARC emulator which also implements a multi-boot selection menu.<br />
<br />
Another port was released in an updated release of [[Windows NT 3.1]], which targets the [[w:DEC Alpha|DEC Alpha]] architecture. Similarly to the MIPS R4000, the DEC Alpha is also a 64-bit processor, however, it does not support a 32-bit mode. Nevertheless, Windows NT still uses a 32-bit [[w:application binary interface|application binary interface]] on the platform, relying on [[w:sign extension|sign extension]] semantics when working with 32-bit values in the 64-bit registers. A [[w:PowerPC|PowerPC]] port, which targets [[w:PowerPC Reference Platform|PReP]]-compliant systems, was introduced with [[Windows NT 3.5]]. [[w:Intergraph|Intergraph Corporation]] ported Windows NT to the [[w:Clipper architecture|Clipper architecture]] and also announced a port to the [[w:SPARC|SPARC]] architecture, although neither port ultimately materialized and the company instead ended up marketing x86-based systems running Windows NT.<br />
<br />
All the alternative platforms supported by Windows NT suffered from poor hardware support as well as lack of available software. Aside from native applications for each architecture, the operating system supported only 16-bit x86 applications while the demand for 32-bit x86 applications increasingly grew. Microsoft initially tried to tackle this problem via a new subsystem called Wx86 that would support these applications on the alternative platforms, however, support for PowerPC and MIPS was still ultimately discontinued soon after the release of [[Windows NT 4.0]].<br />
<br />
The Alpha port continued to be maintained for several years after the demise of the other ports. In 1996, Digital shipped their [[w:FX!32|FX!32]] emulator that also allows 32-bit x86 applications to run on the platform, originally as a separate download for Windows NT 4.0. The emulator was later merged with Wx86 and included with pre-release builds of [[Windows 2000]]. However, as Compaq acquired DEC in 1998 and announced that they would be discontinuing Alpha in favor of the upcoming Itanium architecture, the Alpha port of Windows 2000 was canceled as well, despite the fact that Windows 2000 development already reached Release Candidate stage at that point. Alpha builds continued to be built internally by Microsoft even during the development of [[Windows XP]] though, as the 64-bit platform proved valuable during the development of 64-bit Windows before Itanium hardware was readily available.<br />
<br />
The number of supported processor architectures grew again with the release of Windows XP, which adds support for the original Itanium (codenamed Merced). An updated version of the port, which supports the Itanium 2, was released in 2003 alongside [[Windows Server 2003]]. The performance of the architecture proved to be underwhelming, and support for [[Windows XP 64-Bit Edition]] was dropped already in 2005 as Itanium workstations were discontinued while Windows Server continued to support IA-64 until [[Windows Server 2008 R2]]. Support for AMD64, a 64-bit extension of the x86 architecture, was introduced with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition]].<br />
<br />
The dependency on ARC-compliant firmware (or the emulation of such) was dropped as a part of a major boot loader rewrite in [[Windows Vista]]. This also allowed native support for UEFI firmware on 64-bit x86 platforms to be introduced in Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Support for UEFI on 32-bit x86 was also briefly tested during the development of Vista, but was later dropped. It was later reintroduced with [[Windows 8]], which also removed the last bits depending on BIOS on x86 platforms, finally making Windows UEFI Class-3 compliant.<br />
<br />
During the development of Longhorn, Microsoft was experimenting with an ARM port, although it was later scrapped. The idea was later revived for Windows 8 in order to target cheap, low power devices. The version of Windows 8 for ARM devices was called Windows RT, and while it was a full Windows environment, it was artificially limited to only run Windows Store applications and Microsoft-signed desktop applications. This largely contributed to its market failure, and it was discontinued after [[Windows 8.1]]. The last major update for Windows RT coincided with the release of [[Windows 10]], with Microsoft backporting an early version of the new [[Start menu]] to the Windows 8.1 codebase. The ARM port continued to be maintained in the following years, as shown by [[Windows 10 build 15035]].<br />
<br />
Support for ARM64 was later introduced with the [[Windows 10 Fall Creators Update]], which does not suffer from similar limitations as Windows RT. This version has only been made available on devices with Qualcomm chipsets because of an exclusivity deal with Qualcomm, although it accepts standard product keys and therefore it is possible to install it on non-Qualcomm devices, assuming that drivers are available. Aside from native ARM64 executables, Windows on ARM64 also supports 32-bit ARM applications if supported by the CPU (up to build 25393, 32-bit ARM applications are unsupported since Windows 11 build 25905), as well as 32-bit x86 software under emulation. Support for 64-bit x86 executables was added later with [[Windows 11]] via the xtajit64 emulator.<br />
<br />
Support for the 32-bit x86 platform as well as the legacy BIOS boot process was dropped starting by Windows 11, leaving only AMD64 and ARM64 both using UEFI-based firmware.<br />

==Disclosure of source code==<br />
In 2004, incomplete copies of the source code of [[Windows NT 4.0]] and [[Windows 2000]] leaked to the Internet. These leaks were illegal, as the Windows source code is both a trade secret and copyrighted, and as so is protected by law. However, Microsoft has later released parts of the source of the [[Windows Server 2003]] kernel for research purposes in 2008, albeit under a very restrictive license that forbids modifying or distributing both the source and compiled binaries under most circumstances.<br />
<br />
In 2017, ''The Register'' and other technology journals reported about a leak of the [[Windows 10]] Shared Source Kits, which are available to qualified customers, enterprises, governments, and partners for debugging and reference purposes, to [[BetaArchive]]. Following the controversy, BetaArchive removed all source code content from its archives, which also included the aforementioned incomplete copies of the Windows source code and adopted a policy of not accepting any more source code material.<br />
<br />
In 2018, the source code of the Windows NT [[File Manager]] (<code>winfile</code>) was released on GitHub under the open source MIT license. This was later followed in 2019 by the Windows 10 [[Calculator]] application and the [[w:Windows Console|console host]], the latter of which marks the first core Windows component to be developed out in the open.<br />
<br />
In May 2020, a copy of the source code of [[Windows NT 3.5 build 782.1]] leaked to the [[w:4chan|4chan]] /vp/ board. Though it can be compiled for the most part, it lacks source files for some components such as encryption. Another leak later followed in September with the source code of [[Windows XP|Windows XP Service Pack 1]] and [[Windows Server 2003]]. The leaked copy is mostly complete, although the activation components are absent within both repositories. It is therefore likely that the leak originated from a Microsoft partner who had access to the source code rather than Microsoft itself. This code base had been apparently circulating in online circles since at least 2015.<br />

The operating system now also requires a system with 64-bit UEFI firmware that supports the Secure Boot specification and includes a Trusted Platform Module, which has been subject to controversy as it leaves many older systems that fully support Windows 10 ineligible for the free upgrade.<ref name="insider">Claburn, Thomas.

<br />
The first [[Windows Insider Program|Insider Preview]] build, [[Windows 11 build 22000.51|22000.51]], was publicly released on 28 June to the Dev Channel and introduced several redesigned apps, as well as a refreshed login screen and further updates to the taskbar. The following preview builds were released on a weekly basis in the form of cumulative updates for [[Windows 11 build 22000.1|build 22000]]. Windows 11 was introduced to the Beta Channel on 29 July with the re-release of [[Windows 11 build 22000.100|build 22000.100]], after which both channels received the same builds at the same time. However, most new features initially rolled out only to users in the Dev Channel and wouldn't be enabled for remaining users until a later build.<br />
<br />
On 31 August, Microsoft announced that the first release of Windows 11 would ship on 5 October. Three days later, on 2 September, the new version was released to the Release Preview Channel for commercial PCs, while the Dev Channel moved to the active development branch with builds of what would become the [[Windows 11 2022 Update|2022 Update]]. Prior to that, ineligible systems that were previously allowed to try Windows 11 builds were removed from the Insider program, although they still received new builds in the lead up to general availability. The last pre-release build, [[Windows 11 build 22000.194|22000.194]], was published on 16 September. A week later, the build was released as an optional upgrade to the remaining users in the Release Preview channel and ultimately became the final build available on the date of general availability. The operating system was officially rolled out at midnight of 5 October in each local time zone.<ref name="NewEra"/><br />
<br />
== System requirements ==<br />
According to Microsoft, Windows 11 requires a 64-bit system with UEFI firmware that supports Secure Boot and includes a TPM 2.0 module. The company has also released a list of compatible processors, which notably only includes Intel's Coffee Lake family CPUs and newer, as well as AMD's Zen 2 processors (including select Zen+ models) and newer. In addition, a DirectX 12 compatible graphics adapter with WDDM 2.0 drivers is required. This significant increase in minimum system requirements has been subject to numerous criticism following the announcement of Windows 11. In particular, the new requirements have been called out as artificial as they exclude many older computers from the Windows 11 upgrade on the premise of being old, even though they would likely be able to run Windows 11 with little to no performance issues.<br />
<br />
Microsoft explained the new requirements as being guided by security, reliability and compatibility principles, although the company also promised to re-evaluate the list of eligible systems before release.<ref>The Windows Team. [https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/28/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements/ Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements], Windows Insider Blog. 28 June 2021.</ref> The Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Zen 1 architectures were at one point considered for upgrade eligibility, however, Microsoft eventually opted to only support select Kaby Lake systems in the final release.<ref>The Windows Team.

<br />
The raised requirements only apply to upgrades via Windows Update. Installing Windows 11 manually by downloading the install media is possible on unsupported systems using a workaround intended to allow businesses to evaluate the new version,<ref>Warren, Tom. [https://www.theverge.com/22644194/microsoft-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements-processors-changes Microsoft won’t stop you installing Windows 11 on older PCs], ''The Verge''. 27 August 2021.</ref> although the company also stated that such systems will not be able to receive any future feature updates.<ref>Hollister, Sean.

<br />
== Development ==<br />
The development process of Windows 11 is considerably different from previous releases. Microsoft had been working on the [[Cobalt]] codebase since October 2020, with preview builds being released to the Dev Channel with a weekly cadence for the most part. The channel was switched to the release branch (<code>co_release</code>) in April 2021 with the introduction of [[Windows 10 build 21354|build 21354]]. Around that time, the company also began work on the Windows 11 user experience in a separate <code>co_refresh</code> branch, which was bumped to the 216xx build range, whereas the public <code>co_release</code> branch was in the 213xx build range.<br />
<br />
After the release of [[Windows 10 build 21390.1|build 21390]] in May 2021, the release branch was bumped to the 219xx build range and the main user interface work from the <code>co_refresh</code> branch was merged to it. The Cobalt core was considered complete since [[Windows 11 build 22000.1|build 22000.1]], although further work on the user experience continued in the refresh branch, which was bumped to the 221xx range. This work was being continuously merged into the <code>co_release</code> branch and released in the form of cumulative updates for build 22000 to the Dev Channel from [[Windows 11 build 22000.51|build 22000.51]] onwards.<br />
<br />
== Main changes ==<br />
<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
The user interface in Windows 11 was completely redesigned to align with the Fluent Design System incorporating greater use of translucency, shadows, a new color palette, and rounded geometry. It also features heavy use of Mica which is an opaque, dynamic transparency effect that is tinted with the theme and desktop wallpaper to paint the background of windows. Window frames also now use rounded corners. Window animations have also been updated as well. The design of many system icons have been updated to align with the Fluent Design System along with revamped theme-dependent system sounds. The Windows startup sound was also revamped for the first time since Windows Vista and is now enabled by default after having been disabled by default since Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The design of the lock screen and the login screen has also been refreshed with the time now being centered in the upper half of the lock screen. Many of the control elements on the login screen like the text box and buttons have also been updated to use rounded corners and iconography. <br />
<br />
The [[Start menu]] has also been significantly redesigned with a centered design. The Live Tiles have been completely removed and replaced by a grid of pinned applications and it also incorporates a Recommended section that shows recently opened files and applications and an All Apps menu that displays a list of installed applications while a search box was added at the top of the menu.<br />
<br />
The [[Taskbar]] was completely rewritten using WinUI and XAML and features more colorful icons and animations for taskbar icons. The taskbar buttons are now centered by default, although they can be reverted back to the left alignment design in Settings. The flyouts for network, sound and power have been combined into a single button which opens the Quick Settings flyout, which contains quick access settings for network, Bluetooth, volume and more. The Action Center and calendar flyouts have been merged into the notification center, which is accessible by clicking on the clock, which shows the number of notifications that the user received. Many legacy taskbar features such as the ability to move the taskbar to the top, left or right sides of the screen, showing window labels on taskbar icons, custom toolbars, the ability to show individual buttons for each open window on the taskbar, the ability to open jumplists by dragging upward on a taskbar button, the ability to peek at the desktop by hovering the mouse cursor over the Show Desktop button, the ability to increase the height of the taskbar by dragging the top border of the taskbar, and the ability to bring an app into focus by dragging a file to its button have been removed. The setting to change the icon size has also been removed from Settings, although it still supports small icons mode, as well as a large icons mode which is larger than the default size and it can be changed using the [[Registry Editor]]. All of the settings and shortcuts have been removed from the taskbar's right-click context menu now only showing a shortcut to taskbar settings.<br />
<br />
The Tablet mode has been completely removed and many improvements were made to optimize the Windows desktop for touch usage such as spacing on the taskbar icons, spacing of elements in File Explorer, larger window resize hitboxes, automatic window arrangement when the display is rotated and new touch gestures. Custom and pre-made themes for the Touch Keyboard have also been added along with a new pen menu.<br />
<br />
The right-click context menus have also been redesigned and use acrylic material. The list of options is reduced to make it easier to use. However, the legacy context menu can be summoned by clicking on the Show more options button.<br />
<br />
The search box has been removed, only showing the search icon. Additional buttons have been added to the taskbar such as the [[Widgets]] and Chat buttons. The Widgets button opens the Widgets panel which features a set of customizable user widgets and serves news from MSN. The Chat button opens the Microsoft Teams app which allows users to message and call their contacts instantly. The design of the Task View feature has also been refreshed and virtual desktops can now have their own desktop wallpapers. <br />
<br />
The Segoe UI font which has been the default system font since [[Windows Vista]] has also been updated to a variable version called Segoe UI Variable. It can scale between different display resolutions more efficiently and has a more geometric look, enhancing the overall look of text on various UI surfaces. <br />
<br />
The Aero Snap functionality has also seen many updates to make it easier to manage open windows. The animations when snapping and moving windows have been updated. Snap Layouts have been added and are accessed by hovering over a window's maximize button and it displays multiple Snap Layouts for tiling multiple windows onto the display. Snap groups have also been added which allows an arrangement of windows to be added to a group which can be minimized and restored from the taskbar as a snap group. When a display is disconnected from a multi-monitor configuration, the windows that were previously on the display will be minimized instead of moving to the main display. If the same display is reconnected again, the windows are restored to their prior location. <br />
<br />
[[File Explorer]] also received major updates to the UI. The Ribbon UI seen since [[Windows 8]] has been completely replaced by a new command bar which features redesigned navigation buttons, context menus and icons. The command bar also incorporates greater use of Mica transparency effects. An overflow menu was added which features many of the operations that were available in the Ribbon UI. However, the classic Ribbon UI can be restored using a registry tweak. Text elements are now also spaced by default to make File Explorer more user-friendly although it can be reverted back to its original appearance as it was in previous versions. <br />
<br />
The design of the [[Settings]] app was heavily refreshed to incorporate greater use of transparency and rounded corners. It features a redesigned navigation pane that is shown on every page and lists all of the categories and navigational breadcrumbs were also added. Many settings pages have also been redesigned while also adding new pages to the app. <br />
<br />
The design of the [[Out-of-box experience|OOBE]] has also been revamped, and an internet connection and a Microsoft account is now required to setup the Home SKU of Windows 11. This limitation can be bypassed through the usage of a built-in command line script.<br />
<br />

==winmain in 2009/2010==<br />
There is a very odd thing I found out about winmain in the time period between builds 7232 (Win7) and 7700 (Win8). While 7232 already features the final Harmony wallpaper, 7700 oddly reused the betta fish one. The 7700 page said that it can be implied that this build was formed from a Win7 RC build. I really doubt this, because it's also possible that they just reverted this wallpaper thing for Win8/future winmain development. (At least the betta fish was used until Microsoft started the Technical Preview/Insider Program.) - <code>[[File:Windows logo (2003).svg|18px]] [[User:Bob2204|Bob2204]]</code> [[File:Arrow.png|15px]] Click here to begin.

== Purge <s>all</s> non-Windows related content (reopen) ==<br />
This is a reopen of [https://betawiki.net/wiki/BetaWiki:Community_portal/Archive_11#Purge_all_non-Windows_related_content my version] of [https://betawiki.net/wiki/BetaWiki:Community_portal/Archive_6#Purge_all_non-Windows_related_content a proposal by orbitron] that was abandoned, because apparently the aforementioned proposals aren't being passed through.<br />
<br />
Basically, most non-Windows stuff on the wiki, except macOS, iOS, DOS, and OS/2, gets literally no activity besides one or two users. Most pages covering Linux are too short and hardly contain any notable information (and no, bugs don't count as notable). The new features and changes present in each distro version are also not covered properly and the pages only contain the image of the desktop or the home screen, which is not enough for a good article.<br />
<br />
While the original proposal focused on all non-Windows content, I wanted to only focus on free-and-open-source OSes (such as Linux, BSD, and Haiku), Android, non-preinstalled web browsers (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Netscape) and other less important OSes. For free-and-open source OSes and Android, they have been moved to [https://distro.wikitide.com/ a dedicated wiki that focused on these OSes.] For non-preinstalled web browsers, there are already Wikipedia pages for these browsers. I hope this makes BetaWiki a much cleaner site and live up to its name. [[User:NaraInsider1694|NaraInsider1694]] ([[User talk:NaraInsider1694|talk]]) 14:40, 3 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
:The proposal was archived because it was dead with no clear consensus. Not sure what makes you think reopening it immediately after it got archived will reach a different result. --{{User:Ryuzaki/Signature}} 16:48, 3 August 2023 (UTC)<br />
::OK, I understand. I did not know that proposals would be archived if it was dead with no clear consensus. I first thought reopening my proposal would bring up attention to the two proposals I mentioned above, so I'm sorry for the mistake I made.

<br />
== Moving all GitHub issue related builds to a separate page ==<br />
<br />
I think that most of the Windows 10/11 pages are being cluttered with GitHub issue pages. Since these builds doesn't have a proper buildtag (only build number), I think they should be moved to a separate instead of being purged. Some of them could cause confusions because its build number is identical to another one.<br />

* A new option "Reset the password, logoff the managed account, and terminate any remaining processes" has been added to the <code>PostAuthenticationActions</code> Group Policy for terminating individual processes in Windows LAPS.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
* This build will not be offered to ASUS devices with ASUS motherboards.<br />
* Ethernet-connected devices may lose network connectivity after updating to this build. Unplugging the ethernet cable and re-plugging the cable in may resolve the issue.<br />

'''Windows 11 build 21380''' is the earliest available build of [[Windows 11 (original release)|Windows 11]], which was first shown running on an Acer Aspire Vero prototype on multiple occasions. The prototype was first demonstrated during the 2021 Hong Kong Computer and Communications Festival — a number of photographs from the event detailing various aspects of the user interface as well as version information were posted on BetaArchive by member DiaoSlime in August 2021.<ref>[https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42974 Windows 11 21380 - BetaArchive]</ref> The same model was then also demonstrated in articles published by several technology publications, including UltrabookReview.com<ref>Gibrei, Andrea. [https://www.ultrabookreview.com/50002-acer-aspire-vero-av15-51/ Acer Aspire Vero AV15-51 preview – the sustainable, partially recycled, laptop], ''UltrabookReview.com''. 25 October 2021.</ref> and Polish website dobreprogramy.<ref>lordjahu. [https://www.dobreprogramy.pl/@lordjahu/acer-aspire-vero-pierwszy-na-swiecie-przyjazny-ekologii-laptop-z-recyklingu,blog,115119 Acer Aspire Vero - pierwszy na świecie przyjazny ekologii laptop z recyklingu!] (in Polish), ''dobreprogramy''. 10 October 2021.</ref><br />
<br />
The build was later obtained by BetaWorld members and supposedly uploaded to the aforementioned website on 8 June 2023,<ref>[https://wiki.betaworld.cn/Windows_11:10.0.21380.1001.fs_dev6_flt.210511-1900 Windows 11:10.0.21380.1001.fs_dev6_flt.210511-1900 - BetaWorld 百科]</ref> along with another three internal Firesteel builds [[Windows 11 build 21370|21370]], [[Windows 11 build 21376|21376]] and [[Windows 11 build 21385|21385]]. It was shared publicly two days later via the BetaWorld Blog.<ref>Zheng, He. [https://blog.betaworld.cn/851 <nowiki>[资源发布] Windows 11 Build 21380 | BetaWorld 博客</nowiki>], ''BetaWorld Blog''. 10 June 2023.</ref><br />
<br />
This build is one out of many known builds to be compiled from a branch with the <code>fs</code> prefix. The prefix stands for ''Firesteel'', the codename for an internal Microsoft self-hosting effort related to Windows 11 development.<ref>[https://twitter.com/zacbowden/status/1402607518501769224 Zac Bowden on Twitter: "Fire Steel > Cherry Hill > Sun Valley; Internal Tool > Experience Packages > New UX"]. 9 June 2021.</ref><br />
<br />
It is currently the earliest available build to replace the older flag first introduced in [[Windows 8]] with a new flat design (similar to the 2012 Microsoft logo); however, the old design is still present in certain areas presented within the build.<br />
<br />
Unlike [[Windows 11 build 21996]] and later, this build does not enforce TPM 2.0 or UEFI requirements.<br />
<br />
== New features and changes ==<br />
This build contains many new and updated features in relation to the user experience. Windows 11 branding has been introduced throughout the operating system. The [[out of box experience|out-of-box experience]] from [[Windows 10X]] makes a reappearance in this build with slight visual updates, and other user interface elements have been updated bearing a resemblance with the Windows 10X aesthetic. The new boot animation, previously added in prior builds that replaces the progress ring from [[Windows 8]] still remains disabled by default, however. There is also a new theme-dependent sound scheme present, which also introduces a new startup sound to replace the sound first introduced in [[Windows Vista]] but disabled by default in [[Windows 8]], [[Windows 8.1|8.1]], and [[Windows 10|10]].<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] visual style has been updated with new neumorphic controls and widgets. The new design makes large use of elements such as rounded corners, shadows, as well as blue accents. Window frames have also been updated to use rounded corners. Unlike [[Windows 11 build 21996|build 21996]], this build forces rounded corners even when [[Desktop Window Manager]] is running in software rendering mode or when GPU drivers are not present, meaning you should always see rounded corners and not sharp corners.<br />
<br />
The [[File Explorer]] icon has been changed in order to be consistent with the new Fluent icon set design previously introduced with [[Windows 10 build 21343.1000|Windows 10 build 21343]].<br />
<br />
=== Start menu and Taskbar ===<br />
A new taskbar, similar to the one featured in build 21996, has been introduced. Unlike previous builds, this build uses colorful taskbar icons instead of the theme-aware monochromatic icons in previous internal builds. The Start button and app buttons are centered by default, rather than aligned to the left, although the old behavior can be re-enabled in [[Settings]]. The new taskbar also removes support for custom toolbars such as the Quick Launch panel. The ability to open the jumplist for applications on the taskbar by dragging up on the icon is no longer present.<br />
<br />
The options to change the location of the taskbar and show window/applications names in the taskbar have been removed. The setting to show the taskbar on all displays was also removed, although it can be toggled directly using a registry value:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]<br />
"MMTaskbarEnabled"=dword:00000001<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Similarly, the option to use smaller icons in the taskbar has been removed from Settings. However, this is likely a temporary change as a new registry setting has been introduced that adds a new, larger than default mode for the taskbar:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]<br />
; Small taskbar<br />
"TaskbarSi"=dword:00000000<br />
<br />
; Medium taskbar (default)<br />
"TaskbarSi"=dword:00000001<br />
<br />
; Large taskbar<br />
"TaskbarSi"=dword:00000002<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
[[News and interests]] has also been removed from the new taskbar and is replaced by Widgets, a panel available from the taskbar that slides from the left and contains weather and news provided by MSN. Support for third-party widgets would not be implemented until [[Copper]] [[Windows 11 build 25217|build 25217]].<br />
<br />
Together with the new taskbar, the Start menu has been greatly revamped. Live tiles have been completely removed, with the intended replacement also being the new Widgets panel. The main page shows icons of pinned applications in the top half, with the full list of apps being available by clicking the "All Apps" button in the top right corner. The lower half shows recommended apps and files, which can also be expanded by clicking the "More" button on the right side. The bottom panel contains the power button on the right and the user name and picture on the left, which when clicked reveals links to user account settings, logoff and lock features.<br />
<br />
Similarly to the multi-monitor taskbar, the new Start menu can also be disabled using a registry value, reverting back to the Windows 10 design:<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210615214534/https://twitter.com/WithinRafael/status/1404909886446600196</ref><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]<br />
"Start_ShowClassicMode"=dword:00000001<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Snap layouts ===<br />
Hovering over the Maximize/Restore button in the window caption by default shows a new menu that allows the user to pick a snap layout, as well as being able to choose the current window's position in it. Furthermore, when multiple windows are snapped next to each other, the taskbar also shows a common window preview for all windows in the layout when hovering over the respective apps icons.<br />
<gallery><br />
File:21996 snap layouts.png|Snap layout menu<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
=== Watermark ===<br />
The [[watermark]] on the desktop and in [[Windows Setup]] includes the notice that advises Microsoft employees not to take screenshots of the build, as later seen in [[Windows 11 build 21990|build 21990]]. A hexadecimal build hash is also present at the bottom left corner of the screen.<br />
<br />
Additionally, leak-source detection code is implemented. Every string in the watermark (this includes strings like license expiry related strings/secure boot not configured correctly/etc) has space, colon and dash characters predictably replaced by their Unicode full-width counterparts based on the value of <code>WNF_SHEL_INTERNAL_EXPERIMENT</code> and a constant number of bits used in a rotate-left instruction (always constant for each line, 0-4 are used, incrementing for each string). The same thing is also done for the legal protections string in the [[Version Reporter Applet]] dialog box (rotation value 0 is used here), and the same was attempted to be done for the OS version string in the about box (containing the build number), but due to a copy-paste failure the pointer to the first string is passed in again (which would either be <code>NULL</code>, leading to a null dereference crash, or a freed buffer).<br />
<br />
<code>LogonController.dll</code> sets <code>WNF_SHEL_INTERNAL_EXPERIMENT</code> from the REG_DWORD value at <code>HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{2C57C51B-FD43-4E74-B077-551AE6228AD6}!Attributes</code>; some of the bits control other functionality too.<br />
<br />
==== Implementation details ====<br />
The text "Do not take screen shots of this build" is hardcoded in <code>shell32.dll</code>. (Presumably, this would remain untranslated in every other language.)<br />
<br />
The text is concatenated to a buffer where the "Test Mode" watermark is written to. (If testsigning is enabled, a dot and a space is concatenated to the buffer first, such that the watermark would read "Test Mode. Do not take screen shots of this build"; this is shown in the screenshot of [[Windows 11 build 21990|build 21990]].)<br />
<br />
The hash-ID is implemented in a different manner to older major versions of Windows:<br />
* The current user's SID is obtained, and its sub-authorities are XORed together;<br />
* The DWORD from WNF state value <code>WNF_SHEL_INTERNAL_EXPERIMENT</code> <!-- typo is intentional, name comes from ContentDeliveryManager.Utilities.dll --> is obtained, and XORed by constant value 0x5475A568;<br />
* Let the previous two values be "x" and "y"; the hash is initialised to zero then obtained from 32 rounds of <code>hash += hash + _addcarry_u32(0, x, x, &x); hash += hash + _addcarry_u32(0, y, y, &y);</code><br />
<br />
Due to the additional code mentioned above, a screenshot with hash-ID leaks the <code>WNF_SHEL_INTERNAL_EXPERIMENT</code> value, which could be used to derive the current user's SID from the hash (which would reveal the domain user inside Microsoft's corporate network).<br />
<br />
=== Themes ===<br />
Four Windows 11 themes (i.e. Captured Motion, Flow, Glow and Sunrise) from the final release of Windows 11 make their first appearance in this build. However, the default theme still uses the [[winwallpaper:Hero#Later version|Hero]] wallpaper from the [[Windows 10 May 2019 Update]] as default wallpaper, and would not be replaced with [[winwallpaper:Bloom|Bloom]] until the compilation of [[Windows 11 build 21385|build 21385]]. The dark variant of the default theme utilizes a placeholder work-in-progress version of the [[winwallpaper:Hero|older Hero wallpaper]] from the [[Windows 10 (original release)|original Windows 10 release]] with varying differences, such as the set used to construct the actual image being visible in its entirety and a different lighting setup, reminiscent of natural sunlight.<br />
<br />
=== Out-of-box experience (OOBE) ===<br />
The redesigned [[Out-of-box experience|out-of-box experience]] which initially introduced in [[Windows 10X]] has been included. It is also the earliest available build to use the Windows 11 animation in the start of OOBE.<br />
<br />
=== Touch ===<br />
The build also introduces many changes regarding support for touch devices, the largest of which is the complete removal of the legacy Tablet Mode [[start menu]]. The advanced multi-touch gestures (initially supported for touchpads only) can now also be used with a touch screen as well. Smaller improvements to simplify the experience of the Windows desktop for tablet users such as a larger window resize hitbox have also been implemented, making windows far easier to manage. In addition, while being moved, windows are encased in an acrylic border.<br />
<br />
=== Settings ===<br />
The new Fluent UI icon set has been implemented into the [[Settings]] app.<br />
=== SE edition ===<br />
This build renames the Cloud Edition SKU previously introduced in [[Windows 10 build 21354|build 21354]] to ''Windows 11 SE''. The edition is intended for low-cost computers aimed at educational institutions to compete with [[ChromeOS]]. It can only be managed over Microsoft Intune for Education.<br />
<br />
In this build, it removes customer-oriented features, such as Your Phone and Widgets, and disables the Microsoft Store. It is also required to log in using a Microsoft account during the OOBE. However, unlike Windows 10 S, there is no limitation that prevents running Win32 apps not downloaded from the Store.<br />
<br />
=== Explorer ===<br />
Explorer received some updates including icon changes and new menus removing the Ribbon UI.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
A majority of the issues presented in this build are the direct consequence of constant forward/reverse integration and merging from various [[Build lab|branches]], including changes sourced from shell branches belonging to the ''Windows Devices and eXperiences'' team (WDX).<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
* Several built-in applications, such as Photos, [[Microsoft Store]], [[Windows Defender]] and [[Windows Terminal]], may fail to install and launch properly.<br />
* The State Repository Service (<code>svchost.exe</code>) tends to experience a memory leak causing it to gradually consume more system memory over time without releasing it, leading to potential performance issues and resource exhaustion. Killing the service resolves this issue.<br />
* The file <code>desktop.ini</code> may generate under <code>%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup</code> automatically, causing it to open when signing in to Windows. Deleting the file resolves this issue. This issue is not present when booting in [[Safe mode]].<br />
* When using dark mode for apps, all apps have a white border.<br />
<br />
=== Desktop Windows Manager ===<br />
<br />
* The taskbar may become fully transparent on some configurations when installing graphics drivers.<br />
<br />
=== Shell ===<br />
* When <code>explorer.exe</code> is started from the SYSTEM account, the old Windows 10 taskbar will appear instead of the new one.<br />
* When updating folder options, the [[File Explorer]] window might flicker in the background.<br />
* The Widgets pane's contents may fail to render on certain devices, the user can still interact with them.<br />
* The Widgets pane may not load and instantly close upon trying to open it.<br />
* Sometimes the Search Box shows a black box instead of the search results.<br />
* Many areas still use the old Windows 10 branding, including the Setup and the boot menu.<br />
* The default theme is broken in the Home SKU. Changing the theme resolves the issue.<br />
<br />
=== Setup ===<br />
* When installing N editions, the OOBE will fail to load due to the absence of [[Windows Media Player]] components.<br />
* The "Forgot your password?" link when setting up a Microsoft account or unchecking the option to receive promotional emails both lead to a blank screen.<br />
* The [[boot screen]] during the second stage of setup is identical to the one in Windows 10.<br />
* The first logon animation ("This might take a few minutes") lacks the animated background present in later builds. Like in contemporary [[Cobalt]] builds, Times New Roman is also used as the default font instead of Segoe UI Variable.<br />

'''Microsoft Office 2013''' is a version of [[Microsoft Office]], which was released to manufacturing on 11 October 2012 and then to consumers on 29 January 2013. It includes the new Metro design, along with new logos. Unlike [[Office 2010]], Office 2013 requires [[Windows 7]] or newer as support for [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows XP]] was entirely eliminated. This version adds compatibility with Microsoft accounts, allowing users to sign in and take advantage of those. It is the last version of Microsoft Office to receive a Service Pack from Microsoft as Service Packs were dropped in [[Office 2016]] in favor of releasing updates in smaller chunks on a continual basis. Officially, it is not supported on [[Windows 11]].<br />
<br />
Mainstream support for Office 2013 ended on 10 April 2018,<ref name=":0">[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-za/lifecycle/products/microsoft-office-2013 Microsoft Office 2013], ''Microsoft Learn''.</ref> and extended support ended on 11 April 2023.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
This is the first version of Microsoft Office to drop support for processors without PAE, SSE2, and NX, as it will refuse to start on these processors with error code <code>0x0000076A</code>. This is the last version of 64-bit Microsoft Office to support processors without the CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW and LAHF/SAHF instructions.<br />

<br />
=== File Explorer ===<br />
* Several changes to the [[File Explorer]] have been implemented, which are disabled by default and can be toggled on manually by enabling <code>40950262</code> (<code>FEMNB</code>) and <code>42105254</code> (<code>MTestUx15</code>) velocity IDs:<br />

* The pizza icon on the command bar in the Windows App SDK-based File Explorer has been removed.<br />
<br />
=== Shell ===<br />

* A new ranking method has been implemented into [[Start menu]]'s Recommended section to show the files in reverse chronological order of when they were last used.<br />
* The system will now detect if users are interacting with toasts or not and provide a suggestion to turn the toast banners off for these apps. This feature is only available to a subset of users, but can be toggled on manually by enabling the <code>23214784</code> and <code>41967741</code> velocity IDs.<br />

* The Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Data Usage page has been updated with additional options to set daily and weekly data limits, as well as the ability to show how far a data limit has been exceeded.<br />
* The redesigned Startup and App Execution Alias pages, initially implemented in [[Windows 11 build 25197|build 25197]], has been backported to this build.<br />
* The Archive apps toggle switch under Apps > Advanced app settings, initially implemented in [[Windows 11 build 25211.1001|build 25211]], has been backported to this build.<br />
* The Lighting page under Personalization, initially implemented in [[Windows 11 build 25295|build 25295]], has been backported to this build. This page is disabled by default, but can be toggled on manually by enabling the <code>35262205</code> velocity ID.<br />
* The For Developers subpage under the Privacy & security page has been moved to the main System page.<br />
<br />

* The ability to format volumes as ReFS has been re-added to all SKUs. The previous implementation was removed in [[Windows 10 build 16226]] from all SKUs except for Enterprise.<br />
<br />
=== Bugfixes ===<br />
==== File Explorer ====<br />

* Fixed an issue where Narrator wasn't saying anything when opening and closing the details pane.<br />
<br />
==== Taskbar ====<br />
* Fixed an issue where the taskbar in multi-monitor setups would show the indicator for an app window having focus on the screen when it actually didn't.<br />
* Fixed the issue that was causing content to flicker before the content finishes loading when the Search flyout is opened.<br />
* Fixed an issue that was causing the Search flyout to crash on launch in certain cases.<br />
<br />

* Fixed the issue where pressing {{key press|↵ Enter}} when keyboard focus is on one of the sections in the Performance page wasn't actually switch sections.<br />
* Fixed the issue that was preventing Task Manager from resizing from the top of the window.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
=== General ===<br />
* Additional filters beyond AV may be attached to the Dev Drive on a reboot.<br />

<br />
=== File Explorer ===<br />
* File Explorer may crash when dragging the scroll bar or attempting to close the window during an extended file-loading process.<br />
* The access keys in the XAML context menu may appear inconsistently if no button is pressed. Pressing a button will cause them to reappear.<br />
* Clicking on the Share command may bring up the Windows share sheet (non-OneDrive) when the file recommendations feature is enabled.<br />
* The following issues will only apply if the Gallery page is enabled:<br />
** The page may require clicking twice on the node in the navigation pane for initial load.<br />
** Users may experience thumbnail loading performance for dehydrated cloud files and memory usage in large collections.<br />

<br />
=== Safe mode ===<br />
* Quick Settings and date/time clock on the taskbar may be missing due to the <code>Capability Access Manager Service</code> service not running.<br />

This build is not notable. The author of the article said (on my user talk page) that the build number is mentioned in a "Windows Me activities center video", however they did not provide a link to the "video", so the build is not notable.

We don't really need a whole page for a SKU of Windows Server. It is simply not notable enough to have an article of its own. Core is simply an edition/SKU of Windows Server that lacks the desktop interface and instead uses the Command Prompt as its user interface. For example, an article on an edition of Windows 7 like Enterprise would absolutely not be notable since it can be detailed on the Editions section of the Windows 7 page. The exception of course would be if the particular SKU or edition has major differences that make it notable in some way like with the many Windows XP variants.<br />
<br />
The draft page of Windows Server has a whole section dedicated to talking about what Windows Server Core is and how it differs from a regular Windows Server installation. Because of that, an article on Windows Server Core is just not necessary since it can be explained on that page since it applies to Windows Server as a whole.<br />
<br />
I know this was a little overdue, but since the information about the Core SKU of Windows Server is on the Windows Server page, I think it is safe that we delete the Windows Server Core page.<br />

'''Windows Vista''' (codenamed ''Longhorn'') is a major release of [[Microsoft Windows]] released to manufacturing on 8 November 2006<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2006/11/08/qa-windows-vista-released-to-manufacturing/ Q&A: Windows Vista Released to Manufacturing], ''Microsoft PressPass''. 8 November 2006.</ref> and made generally available on 30 January 2007. It is the seventh operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows XP]] and preceding [[Windows 7]]. It is the only version to support upgrade paths from [[Windows XP]] and to [[Windows 7]]. It had one of the longest development periods in Microsoft's history starting in May 2001 and continuing through November 2006, with the project's development having undergone a reset in August 2004.<br />
<br />
Mainstream support ended on 10 April 2012, while extended support ended on 11 April 2017. However, it still runs on 0.1% of computers worldwide as of January 2023.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202301-202301-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], <i>StatCounter</i>.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops the ability to use boot disks to boot into setup, leaving only the option to boot from optical discs. The ability to upgrade an existing Windows installation from versions prior to [[Windows XP]] and its [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|x64 Edition]] was also removed.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
[[File:Longhorn Plex logon concept (circa 2002).png|thumb|[[Plex]]-style logon user interface concept, circa 2002]] Planning for the Longhorn project started in earnest in May 2001,<ref>Galli, Peter. [https://archive.ph/9pNaG Pushing Forward], ''eWeek''. 30 July 2001. Retrieved on 18 April 2022. Archived from [https://www.eweek.com/?p=124379 the original] on 18 April 2022.</ref> originally intended as a bridging release between [[Windows XP|Whistler]] and the later version of Windows codenamed [[Windows Blackcomb|Blackcomb]] (reference to the bar between two mountains in British Columbia, Canada). As development progressed, many features slated for Blackcomb became part of Longhorn, and employees jumped ship from other parts of the company, turning into a major version rather than the minor version it was initially planned as. After an initially quiet development cycle, the first build to leak publicly was [[Windows Longhorn build 3683|build 3683]], which contained a new theme called [[Plex]], as well as the foundations for [[WinFS]], a subsystem that aimed to bring benefits of relational databases to filesystem storage, and Avalon, a new vector-based user interface framework.<br />
<br />
As development slowly progressed prior to the reset, the Longhorn project would end up becoming a largely bloated and unstable piece of vaporware, with release dates constantly being pushed back on multiple occasions. Many components were extended using the still relatively new .NET Framework and Managed C++. Stability increasingly became an issue as development progressed, and very few builds were released to the public as a result. Only two builds were distributed at conferences and to developers: builds [[Windows Longhorn build 4051|4051]] and [[Windows Longhorn build 4074|4074]], released during PDC 2003 and WinHEC 2004 respectively. The last confirmed build prior to the development reset is [[Windows Longhorn build 4093 (main)|build 4093 (main)]], compiled on 19 August 2004.<br />
<br />
Approximately four hours after build 4093 was compiled, Microsoft reset the development of Longhorn and started fresh by using a work-in-progress version of the [[Windows Server 2003|Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1]] codebase, signifying the start of the Omega-13 period. Immediate post-reset builds were primarily focused on reintegrating features from pre-reset builds whilst maintaining stability, as a ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree. Most of these builds are similar to [[Windows XP]] in the overall look and feel, although markers such as poorly-edited branding (as observed in builds such as [[Windows Vista build 5001|5001]]) were temporarily utilized to distinguish from its predecessor. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise. Development of Longhorn continued, although many features originally slated for inclusion (such as WinFS and Castles) were delayed or ultimately dropped in order to produce a more realistic set of goals for the OS.<br />
<br />
In April 2005, [[Windows Vista build 5048|build 5048]] was released to testers on WinHEC 2005 to show off the total progress made after the reset, which also demonstrably proved to be significantly more stable over previous builds, despite insiders raising some concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The first leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|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 [[Windows XP]]. Over the course of two years, many builds (which were dubbed by Microsoft as ''Community Technology Previews'') were released to testers through a public beta program. The final build that was pushed out to public preview testers was [[Windows Vista build 5744|Release Candidate 2 (build 5744)]]. The RTM build was [[Windows Vista build 6000.16386|build 6000.16386]], compiled on 1 November 2006 and released to manufacturing on 8 November 2006. The operating system finally reached general availability on 30 January 2007.<br />
<br />
==Naming==<br />
Several product names for the Longhorn project were presented to Microsoft in the lead-up to the final release of the operating system; its final name, ''Windows Vista'', was officially unveiled on 22 July 2005.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2005/07/22/media-alert-microsoft-unveils-official-name-for-longhorn-and-sets-date-for-first-beta-targeted-at-developers-and-it-professionals/ Microsoft Unveils Official Name for “Longhorn” and Sets Date for First Beta Targeted at Developers and IT Professionals], ''Microsoft PressPass''. 22 July 2005.</ref> Greg Sullivan informed Paul Thurrott about how the name Vista focused around the premise of wanting "the PC to adapt you" and aimed in "bringing clarity to your world"; the operating system was intended to be marketed with the terms "Connected, Clear and Confident". Microsoft vice president Jim Allchin expressed their enthusiasm for the product name, stating that it created the "right imagery for the new product capabilities".<ref name="rtg04">Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20061109161221/https://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_roadtogold_04.asp Road to Gold: The Long Road to Windows Vista; Part 4: January - July 2005]. November 1, 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
The earliest known build to use the final name is [[Windows Vista build 5112|build 5112]], and the final builds to have any leftovers of the Longhorn codename are two compiles of [[Windows Vista build 5284 (vbl media ehome)|build]] [[Windows Vista build 5284 (vbl core gift)|5284]], with the last traces being removed in January 2006.<br />
<br />
== System requirements ==<br />
During development of pre-reset Longhorn, the system requirements were largely the same as Windows XP, with the sole exception of [[Windows Longhorn build 4001|build 4001]], which requires a Pentium III processor or better. However, most builds of Longhorn only install on NTFS partitions, which would be carried to the final release of Vista. Throughout development of post-reset Vista, the system requirements were significantly increased to accommodate new computing standards, such as the use of WDDM to take most advantage of display capabilities, immediately requiring ACPI after replacing <code>NTLDR</code> with <code>BOOTMGR</code>, and greatly increasing the amount of disk space required to install Windows.<br />
<br />
Microsoft recommends Windows Vista to be installed on a system with a processor with a speed of at least 800 MHz, at least 512 MB (384 MB for Starter Edition) of RAM, 15 GB of hard drive space, a SVGA or better display adapter, and a DVD-ROM drive.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070220202529/http://www.microsoft.com:80/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/systemrequirements.mspx</ref> Windows Vista drops support for systems without ACPI. CD-ROM installation is still possible, but such installation method now uses multiple CD-ROMs due to the increased size of the installation media after the shift to WIM installation and wasn't offered in retail.<br />
<br />
Windows Vista's setup doesn't check for a required processor generation or speed to install as long as setup can start, and thus it is possible to install Windows Vista on processors as early as the original Pentium. Windows Vista can also be run with as low as 256 MB of RAM.<br />
<br />
=== Hardware compatibility ===<br />
Intel CPUs whose microarchitectures are based on Haswell or later are not supported on Windows Vista.<ref>https://msfn.org/board/topic/173366-intel-hd-haswell-on-windows-vista/</ref> Numerous issues relating to certain services or applications failing to start on the affected CPUs have been reported by various users, with extreme cases often leading to potential [[bugcheck]]s.<ref>https://msfn.org/board/topic/177509-windows-vista-intel-haswell-issues-documentation/</ref> The [[Windows Vista build 6003|KB4493471 update]] contains a new version of the HAL (hardware abstraction layer) that fixes most of these issues.<br />
<br />
[[Windows XP]], earlier operating systems, and x86 versions of Windows Vista are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
The new Aero user interface has been introduced, which included large design changes to many of the built-in apps. Microsoft also encouraged third party developers to make their applications consistent with Aero, with the company for the first time producing a definite set of design guidelines that included advice ranging from icon design to text wording. Compared to previous versions, Aero icons are more skeuomorphic and realistic in design, as well as scaling better at higher zoom levels due to larger icon sizes being supported.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the user interface was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme. This was made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand in hand with the also new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for eye candy such as Aero Glass or Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were common for previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the frame's color, which is not possible for themes that are not composited.<br />
<br />
For systems that relied on older drivers made for Windows XP, Vista also included the [[Windows Basic]] style, which used the older XP-style theme engine, as well as still including the [[Windows Classic]] theme that disabled theming altogether.<br />
<br />
A new system font called Segoe UI was introduced which replaces the default Tahoma font that was used in previous versions. It is optimized for ClearType and the font size has been increased to 9 point for better layout and readability for all system languages.<br />
<br />
[[File Explorer|Windows Explorer]] received a UI overhaul in Windows Vista. The common tasks pane from Windows XP has been replaced by a new command bar located at the top of the window that provides basic file operation commands and additional options depending on the selected file. The navigation pane was added and contains all commonly used folders and certain preconfigured search folders in a navigation tree. The address bar was replaced by a breadcrumbs bar which shows the full path to the current location and clicking any location in the breadcrumbs bar brings the user back to that location, eliminating the need to go back multiple times to find specific files or having to go up to various directories and The Up button was removed in favor of this. The menu bar was hidden by default although it can be brought back into view by pressing the ALT key. The detail pane was also added which displays the metadata and information for the selected file or folder. It also displays a thumbnail if the selected file contains visual information such as a picture. If the selected file does not contain visual information, an icon of the filetype will be displayed instead. It also allows for the modification of certain metadata such as author and title. Tags have also been added as a new metadata type that allows descriptive terms to be added to files for easier categorization and retrieval. Drives can also now show their free amount of space in a bar that appears under the drive's icon. The ability to save searches as folders was also added. Many legacy Explorer features such as the ability to customize the layout and buttons on toolbars and the ability to assign a password to a compressed folder were removed.<br />
<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor UI redesign with the addition of live taskbar thumbnails, which shows the preview of a window when its taskbar button is hovered over. The Start button also no longer shows the "Start" text and was changed to a blue orb which bears the Windows logo.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Sidebar]] was added which is a transparent panel that is anchored to the right side of the desktop where Desktop Gadgets can be placed in which are small applets that are designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, showing a picture slideshow or displaying the weather. Gadgets can also be placed on the desktop. <br />
<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned to align with the Windows Aero design principles and the All Programs menu is now a scrollable menu instead of being a cascading dropdown menu. The right side of the menu was updated to show the user account picture which upon clicking takes the user to the User Account settings in Control Panel. It also only shows the names of items and instead when hovering over an item, the user account picture changes to reflect the item that will be opened. The Printers and Run items are no longer present by default and a search box was added that allows users to instantly search for programs, as well as files and system options. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the classic start menu. <br />
<br />
A new search component called Windows Search was also introduced to replace the Indexing Service of previous versions of Windows. It creates a locally stored index of all of the files and items stored on the computer and works in hand with a new feature called Instant Seach which pulls down the indexed items as the user starts typing, allowing files to be searched and found faster. It also supports IFilters which are components that allow Windows Search to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index the metadata from various indexed file formats using protocol handlers to index and search various data stores. Windows Search is initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and Windows Explorer.<br />
<br />
Windows Vista also introduces integrated support for speech recognition through a speech recognition component called Windows Speech Recognition which allows users to control their computer using various voice commands and enables dictation of text in various programs. An interactive tutorial is included to teach users how to use voice commands. The speech recognition technology utilizes Microsoft Speech API version 5.3 and Speech Recognizer version 8.<br />
<br />
The Speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which supports more natural sounding voices like Anna and Lili. <br />
<br />
Windows Vista introduced many improved security features such as [[User Account Control]] which improves the security of the computer by limiting programs to use fewer privileges by default and to stop malware from compromising the security of the computer and making unauthorized changes. It also allows standard users to use the computer with the fewest privileges as possible. When a program or action asks for administrative rights, UAC will ask for credentials through a prompt window that is displayed in a Secure Desktop Mode which dims the entire screen and only shows the authorization window and the window is highlighted and active to prevent programs from tapering with the prompt window. Standard user accounts will be asked to enter the administrator user name and password. Administrators can confirm the prompt without entering their credentials. BitLocker Drive Encryption was also introduced for the Enterprise and Ultimate editions which can encrypt entire volumes using TPM.<br />
<br />
ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive were also introduced to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to catch commonly used programs and data which improves battery life on portable computers since hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use. Another new technology called SuperFetch was also introduced which utilizes machine learning techniques to analyze usage patterns to allow the operating system to make decisions about what should be present in the system memory at any given time. It also uses almost the available RAM as disk cache.<br />
<br />
The login experience in Windows Vista has been overhauled. Support for GINA DLLs were removed and the roles and responsibilities of Winlogon have also been changed significantly. The design of the Welcome screen was overhauled with the shutdown button now also having a drop-down menu which allows access to additional power options and the Ease of Access button was also added to the Welcome screen which allows users launch various accessibility programs. The legacy login dialog prompt was completely removed. The design of the Windows Security dialog box was also overhauled and is now in full-screen and takes on the apperance of the Welcome screen.<br />
<br />
The licensing subsystem has been completely rewritten in Windows Vista. This allowed Microsoft to define licensing restrictions for each SKU more easily and systemically using product policies, rather than hardcoding them in the kernel or using hooks for core system components. Product policies are used to limit the maximum amount of RAM, number of processors, as well as the availability of user interface options such as the Aero theme or transparency.<br />
<br />
The boot loader architecture has been completely overhauled and redesigned in Windows Vista. The legacy NTLDR boot loader used since [[Windows NT 3.1]] has been replaced by the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR). It implements a new firmware-independent database called Boot Configuration Data (BCD) which replaces <code>boot.ini</code> that was used by NTLDR.<br />
<br />
Networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista. The new stack model includes IPv6 support, completely overhauled IPv4 and TCP/IP stacks and improves peer-to-peer connectivity.<br />
<br />
The print architecture has also been overhauled in Windows Vista. The new print architecture is built around WPF and provides high-fidelity color printing using improved color management features. The XPS format was also introduced for printers which allows prints to look much better in quality. Client Side Rendering was also introduced to allow documents to be rendered on to the main client machine rather than on the server. This allows the rendered form of the document to be passed on to the main print server without additional processing.<br />
<br />
The audio stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista. The new stack model includes support for UAA and support for better audio processing through major new APIs such as Windows Audio Session, Multimedia Device and Device Topology. In addition, new digital signal processing features such as Room Correction, Bass Management, Loudness Equalization and Speaker Fill have been introduced which adapts and modifies an existing audio signal to take more advantage of the speaker configuration. The ability to calibrate audio speakers to a room's acoustics automatically using an Aero wizard has also been added. <br />

<br />
==Editions==<br />
Windows Vista was shipped in a number of editions. Unlike [[Windows XP]], there were no special editions for Media Center, 64-bit capabilities and Tablet PCs since these features were included in at least one of the consumer editions. Windows Vista also did not have a separate componentized embedded version, as Microsoft instead planned to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which is based on Windows XP. Although the ''Business'' and ''Ultimate'' editions were also available for licensing on embedded devices (namely ''Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems'' and ''Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems'') as a part of Windows Embedded Enterprise product line, they are essentially the same as the base editions available on retail.<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx</ref> [[Windows Anytime Upgrade]] was also introduced to allow users to easily facilitate upgrades to higher editions of Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
*'''Starter''': This edition is intended for emerging markets and low-cost PCs. Like its predecessor, the three-program limit was included, and a maximum limitation of 1GB installable RAM is imposed. Other software restrictions were applied as well; hence, this version isn't available in 64-bit. This edition is the only edition of Vista that does not have [[Desktop Window Manager]] and [[HotStart|Windows HotStart]] enabled. Only [[Windows XP Starter Edition]] can be upgraded to Windows Vista Starter.<br />
*'''Home Basic''': Found in low-cost to mid-end computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not have effects like transparency and Flip 3D. Windows Media Center, [[Windows DVD Maker]] and various backup features are also not present in this edition and unlike the Starter edition, it doesn't have the hardware and 3-program maximum limitations.<br />
*'''Home Premium''': The consumer version of Windows Vista. This version includes full Aero functionality, Windows Media Center, Windows DVD Maker, Premium Games (e.g.: Inkball, Purble Place) and various WMP11 audio decoders. However, it lacks the BitLocker and Complete PC Backup functionalities.<br />
*'''Business''': A business-oriented version of Windows Vista, it contains several features like full RDP (client/host) capability, Group Policy, domain joinability and [[Windows Fax and Scan]]. However, Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default. For the embedded market, there's a sub-edition called "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems".<br />
*'''Enterprise''': A business-oriented variant of Windows Vista. It is similar to Ultimate, but does not include consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls. Rather, it includes enterprise-specific tools such as Windows Fax and Scan and Windows Services for UNIX. This edition was only available to customers who participated in the Microsoft Software Assurance program.[[File:5840desktopwithred.png|thumb|"Windows Vista (PRODUCT)<sup>RED</sup>" gadgets]]<br />
*'''Ultimate''': The high-end variant of Windows Vista. It is a merger of the features included with Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. BitLocker is included in this version. This edition also allows the user to install "[[Windows Ultimate Extras]]", which is a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, animated wallpapers (referred to as Windows DreamScene), BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements.<br />
**A sub-edition of Vista Ultimate called "Windows Vista (PRODUCT)<sup>RED</sup>" was related to the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. This version includes extra (PRODUCT)<sup>RED</sup>-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
==Marketing==<br />
Windows Vista was initially marketed with the slogan ''The Wow Starts Now''. The slogan would be later changed to [[w:I'm a PC|''I'm a PC'']] in 2008 in response to Apple's opposing [[w:Get a Mac|''Get a Mac'']] marketing campaign from 2006. The campaign would carry over to [[Windows 7]], and lasted through 2011.<br />
<br />
In an attempt to curb the negative reputation of Windows Vista, Microsoft launched an advertising campaign named the [[wikipedia:Mojave Experiment|Mojave Experiment]], which involved a limited set of users being given the chance to try out a rebranded copy of Windows Vista under the assumption that it was an in-development version of a fictitious operating system codenamed ''Mojave''.<br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received extreme criticism due to various factors such as stability issues that were present in the original release of Vista, lack of compatibility with many drivers and programs that previously ran on Windows XP and older, its much higher system requirements that caused performance problems on older computers and rendered many high-end features such as the Windows Aero interface unusable on older hardware and the excessive intrusiveness of the User Account Control feature. Later updates would resolve many of the performance issues.<br />
<br />
As a result of these issues, Windows Vista's initial adoption and satisfaction rates were very low compared to Windows XP and many users also downgraded back to Windows XP due to compatibility issues that rendered many programs and computer peripherals unusable along with performance issues. The Windows Vista Capable marketing campaign was also subject to criticism due to OEM's installing the OS on underpowered machines which did not fully meet Vista's system requirements which resulted in a class-action lawsuit being filed against Microsoft in early 2008 and eventually lost its class-action status in early 2009.<br />
<br />
== Misattributed system sounds ==<br />
The widespread sound scheme often attributed to Longhorn was never included in any official build, and originates from a Samsung-produced theme for Windows XP from 2003.<ref>https://archive.org/details/samsung-theme</ref> The Windows XP sounds remain and are used in all pre-reset and post-reset builds, with a few being swapped with Vista sounds between builds [[Windows Vista build 5469|5469]] and [[Windows Vista build 5840.16384|5840.16384]].<br />
<br />
The alleged Windows Vista Beta 1 startup sound<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HU5aWBoWog</ref> is actually <code>WELCOMESEQUENCE.WAV</code> used in the Speech Recognition tutorial from build [[Windows Vista build 5308.6|5308.6]]. Likewise, an alternative interpretation of the final startup sound that is sometimes labeled as the Windows Vista Beta 2 startup sound<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A0dGe__6Ik</ref> is actually a jingle used in Vista Beta 2 Help video outros.<br />

'''Windows 7''' is an operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on 22 July 2009 and made generally available on 22 October 2009. It is the eighth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line. It is intended to fix many of the issues users perceived with [[Windows Vista]]. Windows 7 has NT kernel version 6.1, making it a minor update to Windows Vista. Windows 7 improved performance on older hardware, while also improving many areas of the Aero user interface. It is one of Microsoft's most popular operating systems, still running on 5.39% of desktop and laptop computers as of February 2023.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202301-202301-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], <i>StatCounter</i>.</ref> Windows 7 is the first version to support upgrade paths to [[Windows 8]], [[Windows 8.1]] or [[Windows 10]] and the only version to support upgrade paths from [[Windows Vista]].<br />
<br />
It replaces [[Windows Vista]] and was replaced by [[Windows 8]]. Mainstream support ended on 13 January 2015, while free extended support ended on 14 January 2020. For Professional and Enterprise users, paid extended support ended on 10 January 2023. It is the last version of Windows that supports processors without PAE, SSE2 and NX,{{efn|[[Windows 7]] is technically the first version of Windows to drop support for processors that lack SSE2, as update KB4088875 (released on 13 March 2018) would remove support for such processors.}} and is the last to receive a Service Pack from Microsoft.<br />
<br />
A pre-RTM build, [[Windows 7 build 7600.16384|7600.16384]], was speculated to be the final version of the product but had a flaw in [[Internet Explorer 8]] which prevented it from shipping.<br />
<br />
Windows 7 drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows XP]], requiring at least [[Windows Vista]].<br />
<br />
== Name ==<br />
The name "Windows 7" comes from the major version number of [[Windows Vista]] (6.0) being incremented by one, with the 7.0 kernel version being used internally for several weeks before shortly being bumped down to 6.1 around the time of [[Windows 7 build 6469|build 6469]]'s compilation. The kernel version acted as the project's codename, and was eventually used as the final name as well.<ref name="codename" /> Contrary to popular belief, the previous codenames of [[Blackcomb]] and/or Vienna refer to an earlier effort intended to succeed [[Windows Vista]], which was canceled in early 2007 due to time and feature constraints, and was instead replaced with the Windows 7 project.<ref name="codename" /><br />
<br />
== Editions ==<br />
Windows 7 was shipped in the following SKUs:<br />
<br />
*'''Starter''': A low-end edition available only through OEMs. It is usually found preinstalled on netbooks, tablets and cheap laptops. It does not include the [[Windows Aero]] theme and does not support changing the desktop wallpaper or visual styles. Supports 2 GB of RAM at most and comes in an x86 version only.<br />
*'''Home Basic''': Available in emerging markets, such as India, Mexico, Brazil, Russia and others. It includes the Aero theme, but some of its features are disabled. This edition came in x86 and x64 versions.<br />
*'''Home Premium''': Standard edition aimed at the home customer segment and is most commonly preinstalled on new computers and laptops. It includes the fully featured Aero theme and Windows Media Center.<br />
*'''Professional''': Replaces Vista's Business edition and includes all features of Home Premium. It adds the ability to join a domain and other features commonly used in business environments, and additionally supports activation over a KMS server.<br />
*'''Ultimate''' and '''Enterprise''': The top-level editions of Windows 7. They are identical with regards to supported features, with both editions including all functionality of Professional and adding MUI support. The only difference between the two is that Ultimate was available directly to end customers via OEM and retail channels, can be activated only by WPA and have premium games enabled by default, while Enterprise was only offered to businesses through Software Assurance, supports activation over a KMS server and has the premium games disabled.<br />
<br />
The above editions are also offered in '''N''' and '''KN''' variants without [[Windows Media Player]] in order to meet European and Korean legislation, respectively. An '''E''' variant which would have also removed [[Internet Explorer]] in order to comply with [[w:European Commission|European Commission]] antitrust regulations was also planned, but was not made generally available days after the operating system had already been released to manufacturing.<ref>Douglas, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20090727040535/http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/windows-7-to-ship-with-ie-in-europe-after-all-619786 Windows 7 could now ship with IE in Europe], ''TechRadar''. 24 July 2009.</ref> The [[w:BrowserChoice.eu|Browser Choice]] ballot screen was introduced as a replacement to satisfy the European Union's demands.<ref>Thurrott, Paul.

<br />
== Main changes ==<br />
=== Interface ===<br />
Although very similar to Windows Vista, Windows 7 brings many enhancements to the desktop experience. <br />
<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a major overhaul with larger buttons, hidden labels, and the ability to pin applications directly onto it. Pinned and running applications can also be rearranged across the Taskbar. By hovering over an application, a window preview will appear. Moving the cursor over the preview allows the user to get a better view of the running application. The preview also contains the option to close the application, view its label, or adjust its media controls (if supported). The ability to hide icons from the system tray has been added, and can be accessed from a dedicated taskbar flyout. The Show Desktop button, last seen in [[Windows 98 build 1415]] and [[Windows 2000 build 1796.1]], has been reimplemented. Its functionality is mostly the same with the additional inclusion of Aero Peek, which shows a preview of the desktop when hovered over.<br />
<br />
The Windows Aero user interface has received many enchancements. The glass texture of windows have been updated to appear smoother along with recoloring the outlines of windows with a white color. When windows are maximized, the window tilebar and the taskbar no longer turn opaque and retain their transparency effects.<br />
<br />
A new feature, Jump Lists, allow users to easily get back to what they were doing by showing recently accessed files and websites. These can be pinned to the top of the Jump List to be easily accessible later. Jump Lists can also include Tasks, which are actions the application can perform. Jump Lists can be accessed by right clicking its icon on the Taskbar, as well as from within the Start menu.<br />
<br />
Additionally, some programs such as Control Panel, Windows Explorer, Calculator and Paint have had their icons revamped as well with the icons having a flat, heads-on apperance rather than being in a 3/4 view. Otherwise, the icon set is mostly the same as Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
The [[Start menu]] is very similar to its Windows Vista counterpart, with a customizable shutdown toggle replacing the lock/sleep toggles from before. The classic Start menu however, has been removed. The color of the Start menu's right column is no longer a darker color and now matches the user's selected Aero Glass color. The design of the Start orb has also been slightly updated with the orb now having a fade-in highlight effect when the user hovers their mouse cursor over it.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Sidebar]] has also been replaced with the [[Desktop Gadget Gallery]], which allows users to freely place gadgets across the desktop, and can be easily resized or hidden via a new desktop menu. A Windows Media Center gadget has been added, whereas the stocks and note Gadgets have been removed.<br />
<br />
A new multitasking feature for application windows known as Aero Snap has been added. With Aero Snap, the user can easily snap two windows side-by-side on the desktop. An application window can be snapped by moving it to either the left or right edges of the screen. As the user snaps an window, a transparent border will appear, indicating where the window will be on the screen when the user releases it with the mouse.<br />
<br />
Two major user interfaces have also been introduced for device management which are Devices and Printers and Device Stage. The Devices and Printers is a Control Panel applet that replaces the Printers window and shows a limited icon view of connected devices and printers and allows easier access to certain device-specific features when right-clicking on certain device icons. Device Stage is a centralized interface that appears when the user clicks the icon of a device from the Devices and Printers applet and contains actions that are relevant to the selected device. The Device Stage interface may also display a image of the selected device if it is present otherwise, the system will need to connect to the internet to download the image of the device. If the selected device does not support Device Stage, a generic interface with a limited set of actions will be shown instead.<br />
<br />
[[Windows Explorer]] introduces Libraries, which can help users organize frequent files types to be accessed from one place. Documents, Music, Pictures, Recorded TV, and Videos are added by default, but users can create their own custom Libraries if needed. HomeGroup is also a new feature, which allows users to connect to other PCs on their network and share files between them. The Navigation Pane has been simplified, and shows frequent places within the System instead (Favorites, Libraries, HomeGroup, My Computer, and Network). However, the classic Windows Vista view can be re-enabled by selecting "Show all folders" within Folder Options. The Command Bar and Details Pane have also been redesigned, but functions about the same as in Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
The [[Control Panel]] receives a redesigned start page, which removes the sidebar from previous versions of Windows. The sidebar only appears when a user clicks into a category or page. Classic view has been reworked, and can be accessed by selecting "Large Icons" or "Small Icons" within the "View by:" menu. The Action Center has been added under the new "System and Security" category. This interface replaces the Security Center. It functions very similarly, while also giving suggestions every so often. It also contains various links for opening the troubleshooters. Personalization settings have been overhauled, with an entirely new experience. Themes are upfront and take up most of the space, rather then being a small Windows XP-styled applet. Many new themes, wallpapers, and colors can be selected from this view. Display settings have been moved out of Personalization, and now have its own dedicated section within the Control Panel and DPI and resolution settings can be changed much easier than in previous versions of Windows. Many more pages have been added as well, such as Getting Started, Windows Firewall, Devices and Printers, Taskbar Icons, and HomeGroup.<br />
<br />
=== Applications ===<br />
Many changes to built-in Windows applications can be seen with this release.<br />
<br />
* [[Paint]] and [[WordPad]] have been updated to use the Ribbon interface found in [[Office 2007]], which came out before the operating system was released, however with the Office menu being replaced with the File tab. Paint also gets new brush types, and shape tools.<br />
* [[Calculator]] has been updated and features a new design and layout. Unit converters have also been added in.<br />
* [[Internet Explorer 8]] adds suggested websites, relocated the favorites bar, and improves compatibility. It can be updated to [[Internet Explorer 11]].<br />
* [[Windows Media Player 12]] features a new design and layout.<br />
* [[Windows Easy Transfer]] has been simplified.<br />
* [[Windows Photo Viewer]] has been added to replace the built-in Windows Photo Gallery. It is similar to [[Windows Picture and Fax Viewer]] from [[Windows XP]] in terms of functionality.<br />
* [[Windows Media Center]] has updated UI elements.<br />
*[[Windows Anytime Upgrade]] received major changes. Components for the upgraded editions are now preinstalled with the operating system thus speeding up the upgrade process significantly. It also no longer requires physical media or addtional software and the user is simply required to purchase a license online for the edition that the user wants to upgrade to. <br />
* XPS Viewer adds native support for viewing XPS files.<br />
*Windows PowerShell has been added as a built-in application.<br />
* [[Sticky Notes]] replaces the Notes gadget and is much easier to use than its Windows XP/Vista counterpart.<br />
* Many Ease of Access applications, such as the magnifier and on-screen keyboard, have been overhauled.<br />
*Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers were readded after being absent from Windows Vista.<br />
* Many Windows Vista apps, such as [[Windows DVD Maker]], [[Remote Desktop]] and [[Help and Support Center|Help and Support]], have been updated to fit the design of Windows 7.<br />
* The [[Welcome Center]] Control Panel applet from Windows Vista has been renamed to [[Getting Started]] featuring less links and no longer opens automatically when Windows 7 boots up. Instead, it is prominently listed at the top of the Start menu.<br />
* Many built-in Windows Vista apps, such as [[Windows Mail]], [[Windows Photo Gallery|Photo Gallery]], [[Windows Calendar|Calendar]] and [[Windows Movie Maker|Movie Maker]], have been removed and were replaced by Windows Live-branded versions as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite.<br />
*[[Windows Meeting Space]] has been removed.<br />
*[[InkBall]] has been removed.<br />
*Windows Import Video has been removed.<br />
*Software Explorer has been removed from [[Windows Defender]]. It no longer notifies users if User Account Control blocks a startup program that requires administrator privileges.<br />
*The Web filtering and Activity reporting features have been removed from Parental Controls.<br />
*The [[Windows Ultimate Extras]] which were introduced with the Ultimate edition of Windows Vista as an add-on pack that included games, security features and other extras have been removed from the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 and are removed when upgrading from an installation of Windows Vista Ultimate that had the extras installed and the associated Control Panel and Welcome Center entries have also been removed.<br />
<br />
=== Other changes ===<br />
* User Account Control no longer prompts users when they make changes to Windows settings that require elevated permission by default. Additionally, a new Control Panel applet has been added to adjust the level at which UAC operates.<br />
* Support for Virtual Hard Disk files were added.<br />
* Better support for SSD drives have been added along with a new TRIM command.<br />
* User-mode scheduling has been introduced.<br />
* The Windows Recovery Environment is now installed to a hidden partition with the rest of the operating system. This allows the boot loader to automatically start WinRE whenever it deems it necessary.<br />
* DirectX 11 was introduced.<br />
* More Windows features and components can be turned off.<br />
* Support for a cut-down version of [[Virtual PC]] called Windows Virtual PC was added for the Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions as an optional add-on that could be downloaded from the Microsoft website until Windows 7's end of life. It enables support for Windows XP Mode which is a virtual machine that has [[Windows XP SP3]] installed. It allows Windows XP applications to be ran natively on the Windows 7 desktop.<br />
*[[Remote Assistance]] does not support file transfer or clipboard sharing. <br />
* The Quick Launch toolbar was removed since programs can be pinned directly to the taskbar.<br />
* The About Windows applet no longer displays the system's RAM.<br />
* The Language bar is the only toolbar that can float directly on the desktop and not Quick Launch like with [[Windows Vista]].<br />
* AutoPlay no longer prompts users to install software that is stored on a USB drive for security reasons. Users will have to manually browse the drive to install the application. AutoPlay also no longer detects [[w:HD DVD|HD DVD]] discs.<br />
* The login screen wallpaper can now be customized by OEMs via the Windows Registry.<br />
* Floating toolbars are no longer supported.<br />
* Live taskbar thumbnails can no longer be turned off.<br />
* If a folder's properties are opened in Libraries, the Customize tab will be removed.<br />
* The List, Details, Extra large icons, Large icons and Medium icons views from Control Panel have been removed.<br />
* The default e-mail and internet browser applications can no longer be pinned dynamically to the Start menu.<br />
* The tooltips for system tray icons like Volume, Network, Power and the clock no longer show any icons.<br />
* The [[Microsoft Agent]] technology is no longer included with the operating system, breaking compatibility with applications that rely on it. An installation package can be downloaded from the Microsoft website to restore it.<br />
<br />
== System requirements ==<br />
Microsoft recommends Windows 7 to be installed on a system with a processor with a speed of at least 1 GHz, at least 1 GB of RAM (at least 2 GB of RAM for Windows 7 x64), 16 GB of hard drive space (20 GB for Windows 7 x64), a DirectX 9-based WDDM display adapter or better display adapter, a DVD-ROM drive.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20220612222845/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-system-requirements-df0900f2-3513-a851-13e7-0d50bc24e15f Windows 7 system requirements], ''Microsoft Support''.</ref> Microsoft also recommends Windows Vista to be upgraded to Windows 7 on the same system requirements. Windows 7 drops support for CD-ROM installation.<br />
<br />
Windows 7's setup doesn't check for a required processor generation or speed to install as long as setup can start, and thus it is possible to install Windows 7 on processors as early as the original Pentium. Windows 7 can also be run with as low as 256 MB of RAM. SVGA cards can still be used, but will result in most WDDM-required features to become unavailable.<br />
<br />
=== Hardware compatibility ===<br />
Windows 7 is fully compatible with Intel Skylake and earlier. Later processors are not officially supported as Windows Update is disabled and integrated Intel Graphics drivers do not work, although users have come up with hacks to get both working. In some cases, integrating USB 3.0 drivers into the installation media may be necessary in order to successfully install Windows 7 on modern machines due to the lack of USB 3.0 support, which was not introduced until [[Windows 8 build 7777]]. The P-cores and E-cores on Intel Alder Lake and later processors are incorrectly identified as two physical processors in Windows 7. <br />
<br />
Though no hacks currently exist to allow Intel Graphics to work on Tiger Lake (11th-generation) and up, the latest chipset drivers still work on Windows 7. <br />
<br />
[[Windows 7 build 6519|Build 6519]] introduced a feature internally known as "drift correction", which resolves issues related to CPU clock circuit timing that can potentially prevent services from starting up correctly. Clock drift/timing issues plague [[Windows Vista]] on Haswell and newer processors from Intel, where the OS [https://msfn.org/board/topic/177509-windows-vista-intel-haswell-issues-documentation/ will often not boot up successfully or boot up with many services having failed to start due to drift.] Hobbyists are figuring out how to port this feature to Windows Vista to resolve this problem.<br />
<br />
As of 2018, Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7 on processors without SSE2 instructions.<ref>Leonhard, Woody. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/3282066/microsoft-quietly-cuts-off-win7-support-for-older-intel-computers.html Microsoft quietly cuts off Win7 support for older Intel computers], <i>ComputerWorld</i>. 19 June 2018.</ref> Installing most updates released from 2018 or later on non-SSE2 compatible systems will result in a [[bugcheck]] due to the lack of instructions that the updated files (including bootloader) require.<br />

'''Windows 98''' (codenamed ''Memphis'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft and is the second major release in the [[Windows 9x]] operating system line released in 1998. It was designed as an evolution of [[Windows 95]] and introduced features such as the Windows Driver Model, Internet Explorer 4.0 (which included Active Desktop, Windows Desktop Update, and integration with Windows Explorer itself.<ref>https://people.apache.org/~jim/NewArchitect/webrevu/1997/10_31/strategists/tour2.html</ref>), FAT32 file system (though this was already part of the OEM-only Windows 95 OSR2 two years earlier) and improved setup.<br />
<br />
Two versions of Windows 98 were released: the original release in 1998, known simply as "Windows 98" and sometimes retroactively called "First Edition", and "Windows 98 Second Edition" in 1999. The latter fixed major issues from the original release, updated Internet Explorer to version 5.0, included updated drivers and introduced features such as Internet Connection Sharing.<br />
<br />
It succeeded all releases of Windows 95 and was itself succeeded by [[Windows Me]] in 2000. Over the years it became one of the more popular releases of Windows, though its changes to the shell through the Active Desktop were criticized by some.<br />
<br />
This is the last version of Windows to be available on 3.5-inch floppy disks for the original release only, as Second Edition was never officially distributed on floppy disks.{{efn|The floppy disk release of Windows 98 had to be ordered with a coupon included in the CD release. Those who ordered it had to pay additionally $15. The floppy disk ordering service was ceased on 30 June 2000.<ref>https://winhistory.de/more/bilder/windows98_floppy.jpg</ref>}} It is also the last version of Windows 9x to support the PC-98 platform of x86 computers.<br />

According to Microsoft, Windows 98 requires a 486DX2 66 MHz processor, at least 16 MB of RAM, 175 MB of hard drive space (varies depending on components being installed), and a VGA or better display adapter.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050104023102/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221829</ref> Windows 98 drops support for EGA display adapter. Windows 98 Second Edition drops support for floppy-based installation and requires a CD-ROM drive to install.<br />
<br />
It is possible to bypass most of these requirements via the <code>/nm</code> parameter for <code>SETUP.EXE</code>. By doing so, it becomes possible to install the original release of Windows 98 on an 80386 processor with as low as 4 MB of RAM.<br />
<br />
=== Hardware compatibility ===<br />
The original release of Windows 98 does not support AMD processors faster than 350 MHz and Intel processors faster than 2.1 GHz due to divide by zero bugs from timer calibration in several drivers.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070209000652/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312108</ref> Additionally, Windows 98 (both the original release and Second Edition) does not support having more than 1 GB of RAM due to a bug in the memory allocator.<ref>https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20030814-00/?p=42903</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061116154817/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304943</ref> Windows 98 will often encounter system instability or crashing upon boot on these systems without additional fixes.<br />
<br />
== Product Team credits Easter Egg ==<br />
Keeping with the tradition of hiding easter eggs, Windows 98 included an easter egg to showcase the people who worked on the development. But interestingly, there are 2 ways to access it. The first way to access the Easter egg involves going into the Welcome directory. Once there, find the program Weldata.exe. Then, right click on the executable and create a shortcut to that program. Once that is done, right click on the shortcut, click Properties, and place your cursor at the end of the textbox, and add the phrase "You_are_a_real_rascal". Then, go to the run section of the dialog box and choose the Minimized option and press OK. Running the program like usual results in Windows 98's version of the Product Team Easter Egg. This is a little more animated than the Windows 95 version and plays the soundtrack first heard when the Welcome menu appears. The second way to access this easter egg involves going into the Control Panel and opening up the Regional Settings. This method is more tedious as you have to spot three places on the map, which are Memphis, Egypt; Memphis, USA and Redmond, USA.<br />

<div>[[File:Windows Insider.PNG|thumb|The settings page for the Windows Insider Program in Windows 11]]<br />
'''Windows Insider Program''' is an initiative by [[w:Microsoft|Microsoft]] that allows users of [[Windows 10]], [[Windows 11]], and [[Windows Server]] to opt into testing out new, unfinished versions of the operating system. The first build to be publicly released via the Insider Program was [[Windows 10 build 9841]].<br />
<br />
== Channels ==<br />
The Insider program allows users to pick the builds they want to receive by enrolling to a specific channel. The Insider infrastructure is also used for Microsoft's internal selfhosting effort, with internal channels receiving builds both before and after the public channels; however, they are not a formal part of the Insider program. Currently, the Insider program offers the following channels:<br />
* '''Canary Channel''', which receives pre-release builds of the latest engineering milestone.<br />
* '''Dev Channel''', which receives builds from the pre-release branch of the latest Windows 11 feature update.<br />
* '''Beta Channel''', which receives work in progress updates from the release branch of the latest Windows 11 feature update.<br />
* '''Release Preview Channel''', which receives finished updates prior to their general rollout to consumers. It is the only channel to receive new pre-release Windows 10 updates since the release of Windows 11.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The Windows Insider Program launched on 1 October 2014 together with the release of the first [[Windows 10 (original release)|Windows 10]] Technical Preview, [[Windows 10 build 9841|build 9841]]. Unlike most prior testing programs, which tended to be limited only to select developers and/or partners, the Insider program is fully open to the public. Originally, the program used a system where each build was tested by gradually increasing audiences called ''rings''. If a build was deemed stable enough by a ring, it was released to the next ring, eventually reaching the public Insider rings. The following rings were in place in 2015:<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2015/03/09/frequency-and-predictability-of-builds-for-windows-insiders/</ref><br />
* '''Canary''' - daily builds from the release branch or many internal branches<br />
* '''OSG'''/'''Selfhost''' - the entire Operating Systems Group<br />
* '''Microsoft''' - all Microsoft employees<br />
* '''Insider Fast''' - first public ring<br />
* '''Insider Slow''' - second public ring<br />
<br />
A third public ring, the Release Preview Ring, was added in February 2016.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2016/02/10/announcing-windows-10-mobile-insider-preview-build-10586-107/</ref> However, unlike the Fast and Slow Rings, it did not receive pre-release content but rather allowed enrolled users to receive finished updates prior to their general rollout to all users. At some point, the Microsoft ring was moved behind the Fast Ring, which allowed for the Fast Ring to receive builds more frequently. The frequency eventually increased from one build per month in 2014 to weekly drops in 2017. In July 2017, the Skip Ahead option was introduced for users enrolled in the Fast Ring, which was activated during the final stages of development of a release and allowed a limited number of users to receive early builds of the next release, while the rest kept receiving builds of the nearly finished release.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2017/08/23/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-16273-pc/</ref> Skip Ahead was later discontinued in November 2019.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2019/11/05/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19018/</ref><br />
<br />
In August 2020, Microsoft announced a complete overhaul of the Windows Insider Program. Builds no longer had to pass through several rings, but different tracks of release would be continually offered through what was now called 'channels'.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/06/15/introducing-windows-insider-channels/</ref> Several channels were set up:<br />
<br />
* '''Dev Channel''': Builds were generally released weekly and tracked the next major release until RTM, when it would then jump to the next major release.<br />
* '''Beta Channel''': Builds were generally released weekly and tracked the next major release from a point near RTM until GA, when it would then jump to the next major release. It periodically synced with Dev so users could jump between them without having to clean install. For [[Windows 10 2022 Update]] and later, it tracked the development cycle of "moments".<br />
* '''Release Preview Channel''': Usually the same builds as Beta Channel after a Windows version RTMed, but without enablement packages used to turn on Beta Channel specific features.<br />
<br />
This model continued for the [[Windows 10 20H2]] through [[Windows 11 2022 Update#Moment 2|Windows 11 2022 Update Moment 2]] releases, until 6 March 2023, when a new model was announced. The Dev channel was split into Dev and Canary, where Dev was moved down to test previously internal Moment builds, and Canary was added, which flights far more frequently than weekly (wait until it starts flighting to determine).<br />

* '''Canary''' (formerly Dev and Fast Ring): This channel receives builds of the latest engineering milestone. Between 2017 and 2019 an option called Skip Ahead also existed, which allowed a limited number of users to receive builds of the next milestone, while the rest received builds from the stabilization stage of the current milestone.<ref>[https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2023/03/06/whats-coming-for-the-windows-insider-program-in-2023 What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023 | Windows Insider Blog]</ref> The way the blogpost is phrased implies near-daily builds will be issued.<br />
* '''Dev''': ''PLACEHOLDER builds from the 23xxx range are flighted in this channel.'' It is the youngest Insider channel, being introduced in 2023.<br />
* '''Beta''' (formerly Slow Ring): This channel receives builds of the next Windows 11 feature update.<br />

<div>[[File:Windows Insider.PNG|thumb|The settings page for the Windows Insider Program in Windows 11]]<br />
'''Windows Insider Program''' is an initiative by [[w:Microsoft|Microsoft]] that allows users of [[Windows 10]], [[Windows 11]], and [[Windows Server]] to opt into testing out new, unfinished versions of the operating system. The first build to be publicly released via the Insider Program was [[Windows 10 build 9841]].<br />
<br />
== Channels ==<br />
The Insider program allows users to pick the builds they want to receive by enrolling to a specific channel. The Insider infrastructure is also used for Microsoft's internal selfhosting effort, with internal channels receiving builds both before and after the public channels; however, they are not a formal part of the Insider program.<br />
* '''Canary''' (formerly Dev and Fast Ring): This channel receives builds of the latest engineering milestone. Between 2017 and 2019 an option called Skip Ahead also existed, which allowed a limited number of users to receive builds of the next milestone, while the rest received builds from the stabilization stage of the current milestone.<ref>[https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2023/03/06/whats-coming-for-the-windows-insider-program-in-2023 What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023 | Windows Insider Blog]</ref>. The way the blogpost is phrased implies near-daily builds will be issued.<br />
* '''Dev''': ''PLACEHOLDER builds from the 23xxx range are flighted in this channel.'' It is the youngest Insider channel, being introduced in 2023.<br />
* '''Beta''' (formerly Slow Ring): This channel receives builds of the next Windows 11 feature update.<br />
* '''Release Preview''': This channel receives new app and OS updates (including feature updates) prior to their general rollout to consumers. Following the release of Windows 11, it is the only channel to receive new pre-release Windows 10 updates.<br />

<br />
'''File Explorer''' is the application responsible for the [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] user interface (shell) and the default Windows file manager since 1995 with the release of [[Windows 95]]. The first available build to include it was [[Windows 95 build 58s]], under the name of ''Cabinet'' for the shell portion and ''File Cabinet'' for the file manager part. It was a 16-bit program (<code>CABINET.EXE</code>) in this build, and became 32-bit in [[Windows 95 build 73f|build 73f]] (<code>CAB32.EXE</code>). [[Windows 95 build 180|Build 180]] is the first leaked build to rename Cabinet to ''Windows Explorer'' (<code>EXPLORER.EXE</code>). During the development of Windows 95, several [[Windows NT 3.5x#Shell Technology Preview (NewShell)|''Shell Technology Previews'']] were released for [[Windows NT 3.5x|Windows NT 3.51]], that brought the new user interface to the NT series. [[Internet Explorer 4]] updated Windows Explorer with a new, web-integrated experience, using the Windows Desktop Update which was incorporated in [[Windows 98]] and later. [[Windows Vista]] saw major changes to Explorer, simplifying the UI somewhat, as well as removing features Microsoft thought were under-utilized. [[Windows 7]] added Libraries to the Explorer experience. In [[Windows 8]], Windows Explorer was renamed to ''File Explorer'' and received the ribbon UI. [[Windows 11]] redesigned the file manager UI again.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Development ===<br />
File Explorer was first introduced during [[Windows 95]] development, but did not start out looking like its final design. In early builds, Explorer was named Cabinet, the Taskbar functioned as a folder, and the unified Start Menu was not present, instead divided into three separate menus, each providing a portion of the final functionality. The first menu, denoted by the Windows logo, acted as a system menu where applications could be accessed via the 'Run' dialog, also holding the options to manipulate windows and shutdown the OS. The second menu is denoted by a magnifying glass with an eye-provided Windows Search-like functionality. The third and last menu is the 'Help' menu where Windows documentation and basic system information could be accessed.<br />
<br />
=== Windows 95/NT 4.0 ===<br />
The Explorer design included in Windows 95 used large icons for folders and drives, and had a menu bar at the top, which contained various options such as renaming and deleting files. By default, new folders or directories would open a new Explorer window, but this could be configured to use a single window with a toolbar at the top, which contained back and forward options. This toolbar was hidden by default, however. Context menus, triggered by right-clicking on various UI elements, now played a much bigger role than in previous versions of Windows.<br />
<br />
==== Shell Technology Preview/NewShell ====<br />
NewShell is an installable package that adds the new NT4 (alpha) shell to NT 3.51. Three builds of NewShell have been leaked so far; a very early build included with [[Windows NT 3.51 build 854.1]], [[Shell Technology Preview build 1054]] and [[Shell Technology Preview build 1057|build 1057]]. NewShell's UI is similar to that of [[Windows NT 4.0 build 1130.1]]. It causes the kernel version to jump to NT 4.0. A final version of NewShell was never released. Its purpose was to test the Windows 95-style shell on Windows NT so it could later be ported to the upcoming NT 4.0, appropriately codenamed "Shell Update Release".<br />
<br />
=== Windows 98/Me/2000 ===<br />
[[Windows 98]] included Internet Explorer 4 and substantially refined the Explorer UI to be integrated with Internet Explorer. The overall shell update was known as the Windows Desktop Update. Explorer windows now featured a bar at the left side containing information about the selected folder or file, this was known as the "Web view" and could be disabled in favor of the Windows 95-like experience. Various system folders would first display a warning page that the user had to skip in order to see folder contents. An improved toolbar, based on that of Internet Explorer, was also now shown by default, allowing users to easily navigate the directories much like they would navigate a website. Windows 98 also introduced Active Desktop, which allowed web content to be placed on the desktop. Animations were added to context menus, and title bars could now be customized with two-color gradients. The taskbar received the ability to host various toolbars (removed in [[Windows 11]]), and a "Quick launch" section of shortcuts on the left side next to the Start button (removed in [[Windows 7]]). [[Windows Me]] added a minor enhancement to Control Panel, grouping the most frequently used settings into a category view. The classic icon view was still available, however.<br />
<br />
Most of these changes were ported to the NT line with [[Windows 2000]], and installing [[Internet Explorer 4]] on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 would bring over most of the changes as well if the user chose to install the Desktop Update. These changes and integration with Internet Explorer became highly controversial due to the inability of OEMs and end users to remove Internet Explorer (which was perceived as Microsoft trying to curb competition in the browser market), and were the subject of the [[w:United States v. Microsoft Corp.|1998 antitrust case against Microsoft]], settled in 2001.<br />
<br />
=== Windows XP ===<br />
[[Windows XP]] introduced major changes to the Explorer UI to make the experience easier and more intuitive for new users. A common tasks pane was introduced, but the old web view pane could be enabled with a registry tweak. The common tasks pane provided easy access to tasks such as deleting files, and it also provided quick access to other folders. A new Filmstrip view has been introduced, which provided quick previews of image files. A new Search UI was introduced featuring the Search Companion. This UI design would now automatically adapt to the selected theme.<br />
<br />
A new Start menu was also introduced, featuring more items in the initial panel, such as recently used programs and additional links to various Windows components. [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Windows XP SP2]] and later versions of Windows XP replaced [[Program Manager]] with a compatibility stub that simply redirects to Windows Explorer.<br />
<br />
===Windows Longhorn===<br />
====Milestone 3====<br />
During the Longhorn development, a sidebar has been added to the UI as part of the Explorer. This sidebar also has the option to combine itself with the taskbar. Inside of the Explorer, the UI has been revamped, such as the introduction of a details bar, but some places are still placeholders. It is possible to revert to the older Windows XP design by removing several registry entries that are responsible for displaying the new interface.<br />
<br />
====Milestone 4====<br />
The details bar has been uplifted and changes its color if the user switches to another place.<br />
====Milestone 5====<br />
The address bar has been replaced with the breadcrumbs bar, but not only in terms of design, but also of functionality, it is different to the one seen in Vista. Also, the sidebar has been updated to harmonize with the [[Windows Classic]] theme.<br />
<br />
====Milestone 6====<br />
The Back/Forward buttons have been uplifted in build 4039. Most notably, the Forward button disappears instead of graying out and the Back button is much bigger than the Forward one. These changes didn't made into the main branch until Milestone 7.<br />
====Milestone 7====<br />
The Explorer benefits from the Aero functionalities of build 4074 if enabled.<br />
====Post-reset====<br />
The sidebar was separated out into its own process (<code>sidebar.exe</code>) as to prevent Explorer from causing memory leaks.<br />
<br />
=== Windows Vista ===<br />
[[Windows Vista]] saw many changes to Explorer. The common tasks pane from Windows XP was removed, and replaced by a new command bar at the top. The address bar was removed, and replaced by a new "breadcrumbs" bar that was easier to use than the previous UI. The left side of the window featured a navigation tree, providing access to user folders, but hiding other folders away in a "Folders" drawer. The Filmstrip view was removed and replaced by a new preview pane. Drives would show their free amount of space in a bar that would appear under the icon. The classic menu bar could still be enabled, and the navigation tree could be hidden.<br />
<br />
The taskbar received a minor visual update, most notably in the form of the new Start button with only the Windows logo without the classic "Start" text (the [[Windows Classic]] theme is not affected from this change). Windows Search was now integrated into the Start menu.<br />
<br />
=== Windows 7 ===<br />
[[Windows 7]] made minor changes to the Explorer UI. The icons in the command bar were removed, and all folders were now shown in the navigation pane as opposed to them being in a separate drawer. Libraries were added, which was a type of folder that would display the contents of the folders contained in it, similar to symbolic links.<br />
<br />
The taskbar received a major upgrade, commonly known as the "superbar", including larger icons by default (though there was also an option to switch to small icons) and the ability to easily pin programs to it. This replaced the previous "Quick launch" functionality, available since Windows 98. Program buttons no longer display the program name by default, though this can likewise be enabled again in the settings. New context menus for program buttons with jump lists were added, and programs could integrate with the taskbar by showing current progress on the button in the form of a progress bar. A new "show desktop" button was added to the right side of the taskbar, which could also be used to quickly glance at the desktop by hovering over the button if the Aero Peek functionality was enabled.<br />
<br />
=== Windows 8 ===<br />
[[Windows 8]] replaced the command bar with a much more advanced Ribbon UI, which had been previously used in [[Microsoft Office]] since [[Office 2007]]. It introduced smart tabs, which would automatically appear when browsing a certain folder. [[Windows 8.1]] later removed the ability to show Libraries by default, and added the user folders to This PC.<br />
<br />
=== Windows 10 ===<br />
[[Windows 10]] introduced updated icons and a new "Quick access" menu, which provided easy access to frequent files and folders. There is also a hidden UWP-based File Explorer, likely a leftover from [[Windows 10 Mobile]], but it is actively used in [[Windows 10 Team vNext|the Team SKU of Windows 10]], which is very poor in terms of functionality. For example, it is not capable to open programs in the .exe format as this will lead up to an error. It is very similar to the Files app in Windows 10X.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 10 October 2018 Update]] added a native dark mode to the File Explorer.<br />
<br />
===Windows 10X===<br />
[[Windows 10X]] replaced the classic File Explorer with a new Files app, which would display files backed up to OneDrive instead of being stored locally on the device. The UI is based on OneDrive.<br />
<br />
===Windows 11===<br />
The initial release of [[Windows 11]] revamped the classic File Explorer to feature new navigation buttons, rounded corners, new icons, new context menus and a new command bar to replace the previous Ribbon interface. The title bar and command bar also has Mica transparency effects, in accordance with the refreshed user interface guidelines for Windows 11. [[Windows Server build 25099|Build 25099]] renamed the Quick Access menu to Home with the former name being repurposed for the Pinned/Frequent folders section. The Pinned section was also renamed to to Favorites.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 11 build 22572.1|Build 22572]] introduced tabs in the File Explorer similar to most web browsers or the [[Windows Terminal]], although as of this build the feature is disabled by default. This marks Microsoft's second recent attempt to implement this frequently requested feature, as the company previously attempted to do so as a part of the Sets feature, which initially introduced in [[Windows 10 build 17618]] but has been disabled since [[Windows 10 build 17704.1000|build 17704]], to allow users to merge application windows and then switch between them using tabs. The feature was later publicly introduced to a subset of users in [[Windows 11 build 25136|Copper build 25136]] and [[Windows 11 build 22621.160|Nickel build 22621.160]].<br />
<br />
[[Windows 11 build 25272|Build 25272]] introduced a new "Gallery" item as a replacement to the old Pictures folder, although it does not do much other than viewing the contents of the Pictures folder. Currently, it's a work-in-progress, so its contents can't be cut, copied or deleted.<br />
<br />
Also in [[Windows 11 build 25272|build 25272]], several velocity IDs related to a big File Explorer update were found, with the Gallery feature being one of them. On 25 January 2023, Windows Central revealed an internal mockup of the new File Explorer.<ref>Bowden, Zac. [https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/this-is-microsofts-new-modern-file-explorer-overhaul-for-windows-11 Exclusive: This is Microsoft's new modern File Explorer overhaul for Windows 11], <i>WindowsCentral</i>. 24 January 2023.</ref><br />
<br />
In [[Windows 11 build 25276|build 25276]], the details pane has been updated with XAML to follow the new design aesthetics, although this has been hinted in [[Windows 11 build 25272|build 25272]] with several hidden velocity IDs. Currently, it's a work-in-progress, and most of the buttons are placeholders.<br />
<br />
On 15 February 2023, in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcgc5CLqUkM recent WinUI community call], Microsoft announced that File Explorer will be rewritten in Windows App SDK, which means it is separated from the main shell. Currently, users can see if the rewritten File Explorer is available by the pizza icon on the command bar. Screenshots of an updated "Gallery" experience on [[Windows 11 build 25300|build 25300]] powered by the WinAppSDK technologies and XAML was shared online on Twitter on 19 February 2023.<ref>[https://twitter.com/thebookisclosed/status/1627310466836881410 Albacore on Twitter]</ref><br />

'''Windows Longhorn build 4015 (Lab06_n)''' is an unleaked Milestone 5 build of [[Windows Vista|Windows Longhorn]]. This build was shown at WinHEC 2003 to demonstrate the new [[Desktop Compositing Engine]] which produces fancy graphical effects without relying on the CPU and slowing down the system. It is a GUI/end-user interface test build, as it is from the <code>Lab06_n</code> branch. The same system that was shown at WinHEC 2003 was later used during PDC 2003 alongside a system running [[Windows Longhorn build 4018|build 4018]]. A screenshot of this build is also known to exist, extracted from a Microsoft presentation about the Avalon graphics stack (TW04036_WINHEC2004).<br />

'''Windows Longhorn build 4015 (Lab06_n)''' is an unleaked Milestone 5 build of [[Windows Vista|Windows Longhorn]]. This build was shown at WinHEC 2003 to demonstrate the new [[Desktop Compositing Engine]] which produces fancy graphical effects without relying on the CPU and slowing down the system. It is a GUI/end-user interface test build, as it is from the <code>Lab06_n</code> branch. The same system that was shown at WinHEC 2003 was later used during PDC 2003 alongside a system running [[Windows Longhorn build 4018|build 4018]]. A screenshot of this build is also known to exist, extracted from a Microsoft presentation about the Avalon graphics stack (TW04036_WINHEC2004).<br />
