'''Windows 10 Mobile''' is a mobile version of [[Windows 10]], which was released on 17 March 2016.<br />
<br />
It is the last release of the Windows Phone OS as Microsoft ceased development of the operating system in October 2017 due to diminishing interest and application development for the platform and instead began to prioritize in software development and integrations with competing mobile operating systems. <br />
<br />
On 21 December 2018, Microsoft announced that support for Windows 10 Mobile will be ending on 10 December 2019.<ref>[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/windows-10-mobile-end-of-support Support ending for Windows 10 Mobile in 2019], ''Microsoft Learn''. 16 June 2022.</ref> Support was later extended to 14 January 2020 to match [[Windows 7]]'s end of support date.<br />

=== Windows 10 Mobile Fall Creators Update (Feature 2) ===<br />
<br />
Windows 10 Mobile Fall Creators Update, commonly referred to as ''Feature 2'', is a special development branch dedicated to continued Windows 10 Mobile servicing as part of the Windows 10 Creators Update, based on the Redstone 2 codebase.<br />
Unlike earlier builds of Windows 10 Mobile, this release is not based on the same code as desktop builds and marks the beginning of a split between Mobile and Desktop.<br />
<br />
Microsoft's blog post for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview build 15204 describes ''Feature 2'' as such:<ref>Sarkar, Dona. [https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2017/04/14/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-16176-pc-build-15204-mobile/ Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16176 for PC + Build 15204 for Mobile], ''Windows Insider Blog''. 14 April 2017.</ref><br />
<br />
{{quote|Today we are excited to be releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16176 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. We’re continuing work to refine OneCore with some code refactoring so that teams can start checking in new code. So, you still won’t see any noticeable changes or new features in new builds just yet.<br />
<br />
We are also releasing Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 15204 to Insiders in the Fast ring. As we release new builds from our Development Branch for PC, we will also be doing the same for Windows 10 Mobile just like we have been in the past. However, Windows Insiders will likely notice some minor differences. The biggest difference being that the build number and branch won’t match the builds we will be releasing for PC. This is a result of more work we’re doing to converge code into OneCore – the heart of Windows across PC, tablet, phone, IoT, HoloLens, Xbox and more as we continue to develop new improvements for Windows 10 Mobile and our enterprise customers.|Dona Sarkar, Windows Insider Blog}}<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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception in part due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Unified Extensible Firmware Interface|UEFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex.

<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store which defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not feature more complex 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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 such as full [[Remote Desktop Protocol]] (client/host) capability, group policy management, Active Directory domain join support and [[Windows Fax and Scan|faxing capabilities]]. Consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was also created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which was based upon the Windows XP codebase.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/ Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business], ''Microsoft PressPass'', 15 April 2008.</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx Windows Vista for Embedded Systems overview], ''Windows Embedded''. 21 April 2008.</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 Server 2008 build 6003''' refers to a range of post-release [[Windows Server 2008]] [[Windows Server 2008#Service Pack 2|Service Pack 2]] operating system updates which were first introduced as part of the KB4493471 update, starting with build <code>6.0.6003.20489 (vistasp2_ldr_escrow.190320-1700)</code>.<br />
<br />
As minor revision numbers for Limited Distribution Release (LDR) updates are limited to a certain range of decimal values,{{efn|(<code>0x4000-0x5fff</code> inclusive, or decimal 16384-24575; the version of the kernel in the previous month's update is <code>6.0.6002.24566 (vistasp2_ldr_escrow.190311-1800)</code>, where the minor revision number is <code>0x5ff6</code>)}} the company incremented the major build number by one and reset the revision to 20480 to prevent a decimal overflow, which would have possibly resulted in breakage towards internal Windows servicing mechanisms and within third-party applications. The build number change allows the operating system to be serviced for the remainder of its lifecycle whilst keeping the overall version number unique.<ref name="6003change">[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4495374/build-number-changing-to-6003-in-windows-server-2008 Build number changing to 6003 in Windows Server 2008], ''Microsoft Support''.</ref><br />

<br />
== New features and changes==<br />
=== Windows Setup ===<br />
The [[Windows Setup]] user interface now offers the option to wipe a hard disk on clean installs, as well as the choice to either join a workgroup or an Active Directory domain. Minor localization changes have been observed around the user interface, specifically in relation to installation progress and internationalization settings.<br />
<br />
The user's installed display driver is no longer used by default.<br />
<br />
==== Out-of-box experience ====<br />
The [[Out-of-box experience]] received a major design overhaul, now bearing a new [[Luna]]-esque design that is largely similar to the variant observed in the [[Windows XP build 2600|RTM build]]. There is no longer a sidebar containing the user's progress throughout the initial onboarding process, and connecting to a local network to advance further into setup is no longer mandatory.<br />
<br />
The help character (Merlin) is now positioned to the bottom-right hand corner of the user's display, rather than being on the opposite side. New animations for the help character have also been introduced.<br />
<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Icon set ====<br />
An additional subset of icons aligning with the new Luna design have been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
==== Driver signature verification ====<br />
The dialog shown when installing drivers that are either unsigned or have invalid code signing certificates has been redesigned and reworded to make reference to the new Windows Logo specification, itself a fundamental part of the newly-introduced Windows Hardware Quality Labs driver quality validation process.<br />
<br />
=== Control Panel ===<br />
Additional changes have been made to existing Control Panel applets. Desktop item cleanup is now run every 60 days rather than being performed manually, and it is no longer possible to manually assign an ID to an existing gamepad from within the Gaming Options applet.<br />
<br />
It is now possible to adjust privacy settings from the Internet Options Control Panel applet, and the Explorer Bars toggle in the Folder Options applet has been further clarified to make reference to its use of web technology. The Windows Keyring functionality was also removed from the operating system.<br />
<br />
=== Help and Support ===<br />
The home page has been slightly updated to include two options for choosing help topics or support tasks, rather than the initial subset of three options. Help topics now have icons attributed to their relevant subjects, and a white separator that splits the header and content sections of the user interface has been added to the existing application design.<br />
<br />
==== Phoenix ====<br />
Phoenix, a short-lived communications application that functioned in a similar vein to the [[Phone Dialer]], has been added. It can be launched by invoking the <code>rtcclnt.exe</code> executable inside of the <code>C:\Program Files\Windows NT</code> directory.<br />
<br />
==== MSN ====<br />
The MSN Internet Games from [[Windows Me]] have been backported to this build, although they are not installed by default. The MSN Explorer shortcut is also no longer present on the desktop.<br />
<br />
==Bugs and quirks ==<br />
===Installation===<br />
On some machines and virtualizers, attempting to install this build onto a FAT/FAT32-formatted partition will result in setup declaring it as corrupted and refusing to install. If this happens, only an NTFS-formatted partition will work unless the partition is formatted outside setup.<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft Agent ===<br />
Microsoft Agent characters do not talk in the as the Lernout and Hauspie TruVoice [[w:text-to-speech]] synthesizer packs are not present in this build. Upgrading from an earlier build with the synthesizer installed will allow Agent characters to use TTS voices properly.<br />
<br />
=== Task Manager ===<br />
The [[Windows Task Manager]] may not render correctly if [[visual style]]s are currently being used.<br />
<br />
===Sample Test Visual Style===<br />
*The Blue Lagoon color scheme identifies itself as the Chartreuse Mongoose scheme.<br />
*The [[Sample Test Visual Style]] is not complete and may exhibit graphical artefacts in specific applications.<br />

On some machines and virtualizers, attempting to install this build onto a FAT/FAT32-formatted partition will result in setup declaring it as corrupted and refusing to install. If this happens, only an NTFS-formatted partition will work unless the partition is formatted outside setup.<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft Agent ===<br />
Microsoft Agent characters do not talk in the as the Lernout and Hauspie TruVoice [[w:text-to-speech]] synthesizer packs are not present in this build. Upgrading from an earlier build with the synthesizer installed will allow Agent characters to use TTS voices properly.<br />
<br />
=== Task Manager ===<br />
The [[Windows Task Manager]] may not render correctly if [[visual style]]s are used.<br />
<br />

'''Windows XP build 2416''' is a pre-Beta 2 build of [[Windows XP]], which was released to testers on 16 January 2001.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20020607020255/http://winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_gold2.asp Windows XP: The Road to Gold (Part Two)], ''Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows (via Wayback Machine)''. 24 August 2001.</ref><br />
<br />
== New features and changes==<br />
=== Windows Setup ===<br />
The [[Windows Setup]] user interface now offers the option to wipe a hard disk on clean installs, as well as the choice to either join a workgroup or an Active Directory domain. Minor localization changes have been observed around the user interface, specifically in relation to installation progress and internationalization settings.<br />
<br />
The user's installed display driver is no longer used by default.<br />
<br />
==== Out-of-box experience ====<br />
The [[Out-of-box experience]] received a major design overhaul, now bearing a new [[Luna]]-esque design that is largely similar to the variant observed in the [[Windows XP build 2600|RTM build]]. There is no longer a sidebar containing the user's progress throughout the initial onboarding process, and connecting to a local network to advance further into setup is no longer mandatory.<br />
<br />
The help character (Merlin) is now positioned to the bottom-right hand corner of the user's display, rather than being on the opposite side. New animations for the help character have also been introduced.<br />
<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Icon set ====<br />
An additional subset of icons aligning with the new Luna design have been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
==== Driver signature verification ====<br />
The dialog shown when installing drivers that are either unsigned or have invalid code signing certificates has been redesigned and reworded to make reference to the new Windows Logo specification, itself a fundamental part of the newly-introduced Windows Hardware Quality Labs driver quality validation process.<br />
<br />
=== Control Panel ===<br />
Additional changes have been made to existing Control Panel applets. Desktop item cleanup is now run every 60 days rather than being performed manually, and it is no longer possible to manually assign an ID to an existing gamepad from within the Gaming Options applet.<br />
<br />
It is now possible to adjust privacy settings from the Internet Options Control Panel applet, and the Explorer Bars toggle in the Folder Options applet has been further clarified to make reference to its use of web technology. The Windows Keyring functionality was also removed from the operating system.<br />
<br />
=== Help and Support ===<br />
The home page has been slightly updated to include two options for choosing help topics or support tasks, rather than the initial subset of three options. Help topics now have icons attributed to their relevant subjects, and a white separator that splits the header and content sections of the user interface has been added to the existing application design.<br />
<br />
==== Phoenix ====<br />
Phoenix, a short-lived communications application that functioned in a similar vein to the [[Phone Dialer]], has been added. It can be launched by invoking the <code>rtcclnt.exe</code> executable inside of the <code>C:\Program Files\Windows NT</code> directory.<br />
<br />
==== MSN ====<br />
The MSN Internet Games from [[Windows Me]] have been backported to this build, although they are not installed by default. The MSN Explorer shortcut is also no longer present on the desktop.<br />
<br />
==Bugs and quirks ==<br />
===Installation===<br />
On some machines and virtualizers, attempting to install this build onto a FAT/FAT32-formatted partition will result in setup declaring it as corrupted and refusing to install. If this happens, only an NTFS-formatted partition will work unless the partition is formatted outside setup.<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft Agent ===<br />
Microsoft Agent characters do not talk in the as the Lernout and Hauspie TruVoice [[w:text-to-speech]] synthesizer packs are not present in this build. Upgrading from an earlier build with the synthesizer installed will allow Agent characters to use TTS voices properly.<br />
<br />
=== Task Manager ===<br />
Task Manager in this build has visual glitches if visual styles are used.<br />
<br />
===Sample Test Visual Style===<br />
*The Blue Lagoon variant identifies itself as the Chartreuse Mongoose variant.<br />
*The [[Sample Test Visual Style]] is not complete and may exhibit graphical artefacts in specific applications.<br />

'''Windows 7''' (codenamed ''Windows 7''<ref name="codename"/><!-- as stupid as this sounds, this is true. do not change this to "Vienna" -->) 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 3.1% of desktop and laptop computers as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202401-202401-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
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|Support for processors that lack the SSE2 instruction set was dropped in update KB4088875, released on 13 March 2018.}} and is the last to include Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers and thus also the last client version of Windows 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 />
== 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. [http://web.archive.org/web/20100206000048/http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/102576/just-kidding-microsoft-cancels-windows-7-e-editions.html Just Kidding: Microsoft Cancels Windows 7 E Editions], ''Windows IT Pro''. 2 August 2009.</ref> Some builds leading up to the RTM, including the RTM and Service Pack 1 build itself, are available in this variant.<br />
<br />
== Main changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Taskbar ====<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.<br />
<br />
The Quick Launch bar is also disabled by default but can be reenabled by adding a new toolbar pointing to <code>%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch</code> and moving it to the left.<ref>Microsoft. [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/guided-help-enable-the-quick-launch-bar-in-windows-7-2c14e2ba-678c-f62b-083f-e391f019c921 Guided Help: Enable the Quick Launch bar in Windows 7], ''Microsoft Support''.</ref> It features the same default set of shortcut buttons seen in Windows Vista, including a button for Flip 3D, which would normally require pressing {{key press|⊞ Win}}+{{key press|Tab}}.<br />
<br />
==== Start menu ====<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 />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The Windows Aero user interface has received many enhancements. The glass texture of windows has been updated to appear smoother along with recoloring the outlines of windows with a white color. When windows are maximized, the window title bar and the taskbar no longer turn opaque and retain their transparency effects. The buttons for minimize, maximize/restore up, and close have been slightly increased in size, and the animations for opening and closing windows are also missing frames, overall appearing choppier compared to its predecessor, which was later fixed in [[Windows 8]].<br />
<br />
==== Aero Peek ====<br />
The Show Desktop button last seen in [[Windows 98 build 1415]] and [[Windows 2000 build 1796]] 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 along with outlines of any open windows with glass outlines.<br />
<br />
==== Aero Snap ====<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. Using the {{key press|⊞ Win}} key alongside the arrow keys dictate the direction the windows will be snapped to.<br />
<br />
==== Aero Shake ====<br />
Another feature known as Aero Shake has been implemented. This involves holding the active window and moving it back and forth a few times, which causes other open windows to minimize as well as restore up. It can also be triggered by pressing {{key press|⊞ Win}}+{{key press|Home}} for minimizing, and again for restoring windows.<br />
<br />
==== Device management ====<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 an 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 ====<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 />
==== Control Panel ====<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 than 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, but it loses the transparency effects on its interface, as it was in Windows Vista.<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 additional 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. These games would later be removed again in [[Windows 8]].<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 />
* 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 discontinued in 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 />
* Jump Lists has been introduced, allowing 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 />
* 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 appearance rather than being in a 3/4 view. Otherwise, the icon set is mostly the same as Windows Vista.<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 />
* Windows Installer 5.0 was 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 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 />
* 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 />
* The [[Windows Sidebar]] has 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 />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* [[Windows Meeting Space]], which replaced [[Windows NetMeeting]] in Windows Vista, was removed.<br />
* [[InkBall]], which was also first part of [[Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005]] before being included in [[Windows Vista]], was 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 />
* 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. Windows Mail would later be readded as a UWP app in [[Windows 8]].<br />
* Floating toolbars are no longer supported.<br />
* The taskbar no longer displays the number of grouped windows like in Windows XP and Vista when multiple instances of an application are running.<br />
* The Quick Launch toolbar was disabled since programs can be pinned directly to the taskbar.<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&nbsp;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, and 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><br />
<br />
The 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 becoming unavailable.<br />
<br />
Setup of the RTM release only allows an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, with the upgrade option being disabled if started from [[Windows XP]] and instead recommending the user to transfer files with Windows Easy Transfer. The upgrade block was removed with the Service Pack 1, allowing Windows XP installations to be upgraded.<br />
<br />
=== Hardware compatibility ===<br />
Windows 7 is fully compatible with 6th-generation Intel processors and earlier. Later processors are not officially supported as Windows Update is blocked 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 performance and efficiency cores on 12th-generation 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 11th-generation and up, the latest chipset drivers still work on Windows 7. <br />
<br />
This version also 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|its predecessor]] on Haswell and newer Intel processors, where the OS will often not boot up successfully or boot up with many services having failed to start due to the drift.<ref>https://msfn.org/board/topic/177509-windows-vista-intel-haswell-issues-documentation/</ref><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], ''ComputerWorld''. 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 the bootloader) require.<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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception in part due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

[https://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/business/MSFT.pdf#page=32 Case Document #131] (pp. 32-33), ''Kelley v. Microsoft''. 27 February 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex. [https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/0/14045a9e-c978-47d1-954b-92b9fd877995/97807356648739_samplechapters.pdf#page=228 "Chapter 6: Security - Running With Administrator Rights"]. ''Windows Internals'' (''6th ed.''), Microsoft Press. March 2012. ISBN [[Special:BookSources/9780735648739|978-0-73-564873-9]]. pp. 574.</ref><ref name="UACBlogRef">Jim. [https://web.archive.org/web/20060720144319/http://blogs.msdn.com:80/uac/archive/2006/05/03/589561.aspx User Account Control Prompts on the Secure Desktop], ''User Account Control WebLog''. 3 May 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not feature more complex 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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 such as full [[Remote Desktop Protocol]] (client/host) capability, group policy management, Active Directory domain join support and [[Windows Fax and Scan|faxing capabilities]]. Consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was also created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which was based upon the Windows XP codebase.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/ Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business], ''Microsoft PressPass'', 15 April 2008.</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx Windows Vista for Embedded Systems overview], ''Windows Embedded''. 21 April 2008.</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />

A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception in part due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex. [https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/0/14045a9e-c978-47d1-954b-92b9fd877995/97807356648739_samplechapters.pdf#page=228 "Chapter 6: Security - Running With Administrator Rights"]. ''Windows Internals'' (''6th ed.''), Microsoft Press. March 2012. ISBN [[Special:BookSources/9780735648739|978-0-73-564873-9]]. pp. 574.</ref><ref name="UACBlogRef">Jim. [https://web.archive.org/web/20060720144319/http://blogs.msdn.com:80/uac/archive/2006/05/03/589561.aspx User Account Control Prompts on the Secure Desktop], ''User Account Control WebLog''. 3 May 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not feature more complex 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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 such as full [[Remote Desktop Protocol]] (client/host) capability, group policy management, Active Directory domain join support and [[Windows Fax and Scan|faxing capabilities]]. Consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was also created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which was based upon the Windows XP codebase.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/ Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business], ''Microsoft PressPass'', 15 April 2008.</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx Windows Vista for Embedded Systems overview], ''Windows Embedded''. 21 April 2008.</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception in part due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex.

<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not feature more complex 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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 such as full [[Remote Desktop Protocol]] (client/host) capability, group policy management, Active Directory domain join support and [[Windows Fax and Scan|faxing capabilities]]. Consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was also created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which was based upon the Windows XP codebase.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/ Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business], ''Microsoft PressPass'', 15 April 2008.</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx Windows Vista for Embedded Systems overview], ''Windows Embedded''. 21 April 2008.</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 />

'''Remote Desktop''' is a remote access technology developed by [[w:Microsoft|Microsoft]] for use in [[Microsoft Windows]] operating systems. It allows a user to remotely log into a networked computer running the terminal services server. Remote Desktop presents the desktop interface (or application GUI) of the remote system, as if it were accessed locally.<br />
<br />
It is one of several Windows client components that utilize the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), the others being [[Quick Assist]] and [[Remote Assistance]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Remote Desktop is built on the Remote Desktop Protocol, allowing users to locally connect to and control a networked computer.<br />
<br />
The remote session is executed by using the '''Remote Desktop Connection''' client. In the RDC window, users enter the name or IP address of the computer and type in their credentials that they will use to login to the remote computer.<br />
<br />
Starting with version 6.0, if the ''Desktop Experience'' component is plugged into the remote server, remote application user interface elements (e.g., application windows borders, Maximize, Minimize, and Close buttons etc.) will take on the same appearance of local applications. In this scenario, the remote applications will use the [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme if the user connects to the server from a [[Windows Vista]] or [[Windows 7]] computer that has Aero set as the system theme. It also allows the resolution of a remote session to be set independently of the settings at the remote computer.<br />
<br />
Later versions of the protocol also support rendering the UI in full 32-bit color, as well as resource redirection for printers, COM ports, disk drives, mice and keyboards. With resource redirection, remote applications can use the resources of the local computer. Audio is also redirected, so that any sounds generated by a remote application are played back at the client system. Moreover, a remote session can also span multiple monitors at the client system, independent of the multi-monitor settings at the server.<br />
<br />
Starting with [[Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1|Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1]], it will also utilize RemoteFX vGPU allowing the ability to present a virtualized instance of a physical GPU into multiple remote computers. This allows the client to access the physical GPU of the remote computer, enabling hardware-acceleration for rich graphics scenarios such as 3D rendering and game play. However, the feature was removed with the release of [[Windows Server 2019]], and a security update was released to remove the feature from previous versions of Windows as well, due to it being affected by various architectural security vulnerabilities.<ref name="RFXEoL">[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb4570006-update-to-disable-and-remove-the-remotefx-vgpu-component-in-windows-bbdf1531-7188-2bf4-0de6-641de79f09d2 KB4570006: Update to disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU component in Windows], ''Microsoft''</ref><br />
<br />
Remote Desktop prioritizes UI data as well as keyboard and mouse inputs, as opposed to print jobs or file transfers, to make applications more responsive. It redirects plug and play devices such as cameras, portable music players, and scanners, so that input from these devices can be used by the remote applications as well. Remote Desktop can also be used to connect to computers which are exposed via the [[Windows Home Server]] RDP Gateway over the Internet.<br />
<br />
Microsoft also produces the client for [[Windows Phone|Windows Mobile]] and [[Windows RT]], and other non-Windows platforms like [[macOS]], [[Android]] and [[iOS]].<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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex.

<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not feature more complex 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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 such as full [[Remote Desktop Protocol]] (client/host) capability, group policy management, Active Directory domain join support and [[Windows Fax and Scan|faxing capabilities]]. Consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was also created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which was based upon the Windows XP codebase.<ref>Microsoft. [https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/ Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business], ''Microsoft PressPass'', 15 April 2008.</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>Microsoft. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx Windows Vista for Embedded Systems overview], ''Windows Embedded''. 21 April 2008.</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref> downgraded to civil-action<ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

[https://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/business/MSFT.pdf#page=32 Case Document #131] (pp. 32-33), ''Kelley v. Microsoft''. 27 February 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex. [https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/0/14045a9e-c978-47d1-954b-92b9fd877995/97807356648739_samplechapters.pdf#page=228 "Chapter 6: Security - Running With Administrator Rights"]. ''Windows Internals'' (''6th ed.''), Microsoft Press. March 2012. ISBN [[Special:BookSources/9780735648739|978-0-73-564873-9]]. pp. 574.</ref><ref name="UACBlogRef">Jim. [https://web.archive.org/web/20060720144319/http://blogs.msdn.com:80/uac/archive/2006/05/03/589561.aspx User Account Control Prompts on the Secure Desktop], ''User Account Control WebLog''. 3 May 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which is based on Windows XP.<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 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 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 0.06% of computers worldwide as of February 2024.<ref>[https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202310-202310-bar Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide], ''StatCounter''.</ref><br />
<br />
This version drops support for the IA-64 architecture and 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]] with [[Windows XP build 2600.2180|Service Pack 2]] was also removed. CD-ROM distributions of this version could be obtained through mail for machines that don't have DVD-ROM drives.<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 ended 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. As a last resort, Microsoft started work on refactoring the operating system into a set of components, hoping to contain the feature creep in the process. However, the componentization effort derailed the project even more. 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. The immediate post-reset builds, codenamed "Omega-13" after the [[w:Galaxy Quest|Galaxy Quest]] time travel device,<ref>Chen, Raymond. [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20191017-01/?p=103005 By Grabthar's Hammer, it's a Galaxy Quest documentary], ''The Old New Thing''. 17 October 2019.</ref> were primarily focused on componentization and reintegration of features from pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. A ban on usage of the .NET Framework was imposed across a large majority of the Windows source tree with the exception of the [[Windows Media Center]]. 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 />
A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20050427234736/http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ WinHEC 2005 Longhorn Developer Preview], ''Windows IT Pro''. 25 April 2005. Archived from the [https://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthurrott/Article/ArticleID/46160/ original] on 27 April 2005.</ref> 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 concerns over the then-current state of the operating system's lacking feature set at the time. The earliest available leaked build after the development reset was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public in July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public Community Technology Preview program; the final build 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, met with increasingly negative consumer reception due to significant mismanagement in the Windows Vista Capable program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit, downgraded to civil-action)<ref>Keizer, Gregg. [https://www.computerworld.com/article/2537430/judge-makes--vista-capable--lawsuit-a-class-action-affair.html Judge makes 'Vista Capable' lawsuit a class-action affair], ''Computerworld''. 25 February 2008.</ref><ref>Fiveash, Kelly.

<br />
Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista in March 2008 in the form of a major update to the RTM build, which was additionally complemented by a stand-alone installable update package, adding support for [[w:Extensible Firmware Interface|EFI firmware]] on 64-bit versions of Windows alongside added support for the exFAT file system and improvements to performance, stability, and wireless capabilities.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, Microsoft released the second service pack for Windows Vista, which includes various new features such as wireless and Bluetooth support; most notably, a Bluetooth [[Control Panel]] applet; it also includes Windows Search 4.0 built-in, better support of eSATA drives, support for burning on Blu-ray discs and support for the x64 VIA Nano processor, and also improved performance of the RSS feeds [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar]] gadget, and improved streaming high-definition content. Another update, known as the Platform Update for Windows Vista, was later released in October 2009, and backports the Automation and Ribbon APIs from [[Windows 7]].<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.

<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 required a Pentium III processor or better during setup. 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&nbsp;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 />
The x86 versions of Windows Vista, as well as [[Windows XP]] and earlier versions, are not affected by the aforementioned problems.<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Windows Aero ====<br />
The new Windows Aero design language was introduced, incorporating the use of [[w:skeumorphic|skeumorphic]] designs that feature three-dimensional surfaces (often with reflectivity) and realistic icon designs. 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. The Segoe font family, a humanist typeface intended to improve overall legibility across varying system surfaces, has been introduced to the operating system.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the design language was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme, made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand-in-hand with the DirectX graphics architecture and the new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for dynamic effects such as Aero Glass and Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were present in previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the window frames' colors, functionality that is only exclusive when composition is enabled.<br />
<br />
To tailor towards underpowered or non-WDDM-compliant systems, Windows Vista also includes the [[Windows Basic]] visual style, a reduced-functionality variant of the Aero theme that makes use of the older Windows XP theming engine.<br />
<br />
==== System shell ====<br />
===== Windows Explorer =====<br />
The [[Windows Explorer]] user interface received a complete design overhaul in Windows Vista, featuring a command-based user interface that allows users to quickly access common file and directory actions. Improvements to file navigation have been implemented with the addition of a navigation pane, which contains a tree of commonly-used directories and certain pre-configured search folders, as well as adjustments to the address bar that allows the user to switch between higher- or lower-level directories in (at minimum) two clicks with directory layouts, eliminating the need to search through various directories for specific items. Storage devices now show the total amount of free space through a dedicated indicator placed under the drive icon. Metadata and information for files and folders can now be viewed through a separate details pane, and descriptive terms for easier categorization and retrieval can now be added to items.<br />
<br />
===== Start menu =====<br />
The [[Start menu]] was redesigned such that the All Programs list becomes integrated as a single shortcut directory tree view, rather than its previous iterations which instead presented additional clutter as the user advances into deeper shortcut directory levels. Integration with the Windows Search service has also been implemented, allowing the user to quickly search for files, documents and installed programs. As with its predecessor, the user can revert to the older start menu design from [[Windows 2000]].<br />
<br />
===== Taskbar =====<br />
The [[Taskbar]] received a minor functionality improvement 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 />
===== Windows Sidebar =====<br />
Vista implements a separate [[Windows Sidebar|sidebar area]] that allows the user to place gadgets, small applets designed to show information at a quick glance such as displaying the time and date, displaying images or reporting current weather conditions. These applets can also be placed onto the desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility ====<br />
The new Ease of Access Center has been added as a replacement for the older Utility Manager, allowing disabled users to launch built-in accessibility tools and configure existing accessibility options through a dedicated launcher.<br />
<br />
Integrated support for speech recognition has been added, enabling users to control their device using various voice commands and dictate text in various applications. 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. To accomodate for this, an updated speech synthesis engine for text-to-speech programs like Narrator and [[Microsoft Agent]] has also been updated to support SAPI 5, which implements enhanced support for natural-sounding voices.<br />
<br />
=== Security improvements ===<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 in an effort to prevent [[w:malware|malware]] from compromising the security of the user's computer. It also allows standard users to use their devices with as few privileges as possible whilst retaining overall system usability.<br />
<br />
When an action requires administrative elevation, User Account Control will ask for the user's credentials or consent to initiate the action through a separate prompt, achieved by having its underlying system process (<code>consent.exe</code>, spawned by the Application Information service) send a request to the Windows session manager to switch to a special session reserved specifically for the local system account (otherwise referred to as the "secure desktop", additionally used by the Windows logon user interface), display a dimmed bitmap image copy of the logged-on user's session across the client area and spawn the respective application launch confirmation dialog.<ref>Russinovich, Mark; Solomon, David A.; Ionescu, Alex.

''Windows Internals'' (''6th ed.''), Microsoft Press. March 2012. ISBN [[Special:BookSources/9780735648739|978-0-73-564873-9]]. pp. 574.</ref><ref name="UACBlogRef">Jim.

<br />
Improvements to drive encryption were implemented through the addition of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of the device's [[w:TPM|TPM]] module to encrypt the contents of an existing partition wherever possible. Drives can also be decrypted through the use of a separate backup key.<br />
<br />
The logon 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 logon screen was overhauled to feature a minimalistic design that places a central focus on the user themselves, with options for power and accessibility placed on<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
==== Search indexing ====<br />
The new Windows Search service replaces the older item indexing service included as part of Windows previous versions, making use of a lightweight database containing all indexed items stored on the user's computer. Search functionality has also been expanded with the introduction of search folders, which automatically categorize files based on existing metadata. The new search indexer supports IFilters, components that allow the service to scan the contents and metadata of files. Windows Search also uses property handlers to index existing metadata from various file formats.<br />
<br />
Searches can be initiated by using the search box in the Start menu and in the Windows Explorer user interface.<br />
<br />
==== Networking stack ====<br />
The underlying Windows networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista to feature [[w:IPv6|IPv6]] support, a reworked [[w:IPv4|IPv4]] and [[w:TCP/IP|TCP/IP]] implementation and improvements towards [[w:peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] connectivity.<br />
<br />
==== Printing subsystem ====<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 />
==== Windows Audio ====<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 />
==== Software Protection Platform ====<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 />
==== Boot environment ====<br />
The boot environment has been reworked from scratch with the introduction of the [[Windows Boot Manager]], a replacement for the legacy [[NTLDR]] boot loader that implements a new registry-based Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store that defines settings for existing boot applications and the underlying boot environment.<br />
<br />
==== Performance optimizations ====<br />
The ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive features were introduced as a way to improve system performance by using available flash memory on USB flash drives and hybrid hard disks to store commonly used programs and data. This additionally improves battery life on portable computers, as hybrid drives can be spun down when the system is not in use.<br />
<br />
SuperFetch, a new feature that extended upon the existing prefetching subsystem was was also introduced, allowing the operating system to analyze usage patterns and make decisions about what should be present in memory at any given time.<br />
<br />
=== Deprecations ===<br />
* Windows Vista drops the ability to upgrade from [[Windows NT 4.0]], [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 98 SE build 2222B|Windows 98 SE]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and can be only officially upgraded to on devices using an 800&nbsp;MHz CPU or faster, 512MB RAM or higher, Super VGA video output, and 20GB HDD disk or larger, with BIOS or compatible firmware and [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Windows XP x64 Edition]] supported and installed.<br />
* It is no longer possible to downgrade to an older version of Windows due to underlying changes within the setup subsystem.<br />
* The Windows Messenger service has been removed, as instead a link to download [[Windows Live Messenger]] has been placed in Welcome Center.<br />
*[[WordPad]] can no longer open Microsoft Word documents. Instead, Microsoft recommended to use Word Viewer instead.<br />
* Service Packs can no longer be installed cumulatively in Windows Vista SP2, meaning that Service Pack 1 has to be installed first.<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 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-range 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. The user can also only join a meeting but cannot create one in [[Windows Meeting Space]].<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.<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:6000.16386-productred.png|thumb|Windows Vista [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] gadgets and theme]]<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]], a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, Windows DreamScene, BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements. This SKU also has all features of Windows Vista.<br />
**A custom version of Windows Vista Ultimate was created for the [[w:Product Red|Product Red]] campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on diseases such as [[w:AIDS|AIDS]], [[w:tuberculosis|tuberculosis]], and [[w:malaria|malaria]]. The version includes extra Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
There was not a separate componentized embedded version of Windows Vista, as Microsoft instead opted to release [[Windows Embedded 2009]], which is based on Windows XP.<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-charts-its-road-map-for-windows-embedded-business/</ref> Windows Vista Business and Ultimate could be licensed for use on embedded devices. Such copies are labeled as "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems" and "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems" on the Product Key sticker, respectively, and their installation media is identical to the retail version. The only notable difference from the retail version is the inclusion of an EULA that forbids other uses.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080421212042/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/products/vistaforembedded/default.mspx</ref><br />
<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''.<ref>Microsoft. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsStHxtVr_w ''The Mojave Experiment'' official advertisement video], 29 July 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
While Windows Vista was praised for its new design, features and security improvements, it received 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 theme produced by Samsung Electronics 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 />

<br />
'''Windows Vista build 5112''' is the official Beta 1 build of [[Windows Vista]], which was officially released on 27 July 2005. It is one of the first Beta 1-class builds to be compiled, and certainly, the first Vista build to become widely available. <br />
<br />
At this point in development, Microsoft had decided that ''Windows Vista'' would be the final name of the operating system, hoping to boost the image and perception of the product among end users. Jim Allchin expressed enthusiasm for the name, stating:<br />
<br />
{{Quote|'Vista' creates the right imagery for the new product capabilities and inspires the imagination with all the possibilities of what can be done with Windows – making people's passions come alive.|Jim Allchin on the final operating system name<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], ''Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows''. November 1, 2006. Archived from the [https://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_roadtogold_04.asp original] on 9 November 2006.</ref>}}<br />
<br />
However, the name Longhorn was still used in numerous areas, such as within the ''[[Winver|About Windows]]'' dialog box, the registry entry for Winlogon, the XML data for the <code>install.wim</code> file, and on the [[boot screen]]. This is to be expected, considering that this build was compiled two days before the announcement of the name change to Vista. The name Vista was only mentioned on the desktop [[watermark]].<br />
<br />
==Setup==<br />
Although [[Windows Setup|the setup]] is mostly similar to the [[Windows Vista build 5098|previous build]], the hardware portion of setup now contains a dummy progress bar again.{{efn|A dummy progress bar gradually fills up through the end and resets in a loop.}}<br />

</gallery>Build [[Windows Vista build 5099|5099]] or later is required to upgrade to this build, but it is possible to upgrade from [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]] by replacing the sources folder (excluding <code>install.wim</code>) from 5098 itself.<br />
<br />
==New features and changes==<br />
<br />
===Aero===<br />
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme gained a slight update from build 5098, featuring more distinct borders and fixed text color on some windows. Through the use of a patched <code>uxss.exe</code> executable for either the [https://archive.org/download/UXSSPatches/uxss_5112_winmain_beta1_x86.exe x86] or [https://archive.org/download/UXSSPatches/uxss_5112_winmain_beta1_amd64.exe x64] architecture compiles, it is possible to use the [[Desktop Window Manager]] in a virtual machine solutions or on non-LDDM-compliant graphics hardware. <br />
<br />
There exist two different ways of initializing DWM: either by replacing the <code>uxss.dll</code> library in the <code>Windows\System32</code> directory with a patched variant and adding a hardware check override into the registry, or by using a physical machine with period-correct graphics hardware and display drivers. The first method can be achieved by opening the [[Registry Editor]], navigating to <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft</code>, creating a new key called <code>DWM</code> and creating the following DWORD values inside the key:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+<br />
!Key<br />
!Values<br />
|-<br />
|EnableMachineCheck<br />
|'''1''' - enables the graphics hardware check, which restricts DWM support solely to graphics hardware that features support for the Longhorn Display Driver Model. Display drivers for [[Windows XP]] and [[Windows Server 2003]] are also excluded from window compositing in their entirety.<br />
<br />
'''0''' - disables graphics hardware check<br />
|-<br />
|ForceSoftwareD3D<br />
| '''1''' - forces software rendering<br />
<br />
'''0''' - uses hardware rendering<br />
|-<br />
|Glass<br />
|'''1''' - translucent/glass window frames<br />
<br />
'''0''' - disables glass effects, replaces captions with metallic window frames<br />
|-<br />
|Blur<br />
|'''1''' - enables blur effect<br />
<br />
'''0''' - disables blur effect, useful if ForceSoftwareD3D is enabled<br />
|-<br />
|UseAlternateButtons<br />
''(optional)''<br />
|'''1''' - square-like buttons<br />
<br />
'''0''' - normal buttons<br />
|-<br />
|MagnificationPercent<br />
''(optional - use at own risk!)''<br />
|'''0 - 100 (decimal)''' - normal scaling<br />
<br />
'''any decimal value in range of 1 to 99''' - downscaling percentage of windows<br />
<br />
'''any decimal value more than 100''' - upscaling percentage of windows<br />
|}<br />
<br />
After committing these changes, log out of the system, and then log back on to initialize the DWM stack. If DWM does not automatically start, kill the <code>uxss.exe</code> process.<br />
<br />
===Windows Explorer===<br />
*List Pane for Static Lists.<br />
*The ability to create a list from the '''New''' section in context menus has been removed.<br />
<br />
===Full Volume Encryption===<br />
* Windows Full Volume Encryption API (fveapi.dll)<br />
* FVE Auto Convert Utility (fveauto.exe)<br />
*FVE Utility (fveconv.exe)<br />
*Windows Full Volume Encryption Tool (fvetool.exe)<br />
<br />
===Miscellaneous===<br />
<br />
*Two new icons have been added to the desktop, one leading to a supplemental driver installer that simply installs drivers made for [[Windows XP]] that aren't ready to work on this build yet, while the other is a document talking about Avalon and Indigo.<br />
* Media Foundation Protected Pipeline has been added.<br />
<br />
==Bugs==<br />
===Installation===<br />
Although this build can partition as intended during setup, the partitioning page doesn't refresh properly, requiring the user to reboot the system in order to see the new partition. This bug persists until [[Windows Vista build 5360|build 5360]].<br />
<br />
===DWM===<br />
On some configurations with patched <code>uxss.exe</code>, when <code>ForceSoftwareD3D</code> value is set to 0, the screen freezes (except for the cursor), until DWM is disabled, even if hardware acceleration is set to full. Along with that, if glass effects are enabled, there would be artifacts on non-[[File Explorer|Explorer]] window borders.<br />

'''Windows Server, version 23H2''' is the first release of the [[Windows Server]] Annual Channel for Containers,<ref>https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/servicing-channels-comparison#annual-channel-ac</ref> which was released on 24 October 2023.<ref>https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-annual-channel</ref> The newly established Annual Channel is designed to support fast, [[w:Containerization (computing)|containerized]] workloads under a host [[w:operating system|operating system]] level. Unlike Long-Term Servicing Channel releases, Annual Channel releases are only available in the form of a Server Core install in a similar fashion to the ill-fated Semi-Annual Channel release, and cannot be upgraded to from an existing [[Windows Server 2022]] installation.<br />
<br />
Annual Channel releases typically come with 18 months of mainstream support plus an additional 6 months of extended support. It is commercially distributed to volume-licensed customers via the Microsoft Software Assurance program. Developers can obtain a Windows Server Annual Channel release for development and testing purposes through an applicable [[Visual Studio]] subscription.<br />

: We do not document bugs that are caused by emulators/virtualizers nor bugs due to having a different system setup. Most of these bugs happens due to the newer virtualization or models used when running these builds, and will be unlikely to be consistently reproducible. Some of the bugs done were also done in unsupported environments (upgrading Longhorn builds is technically not supported according to Microsoft). Alongside, they often clog up bugs/quirks section with extremely niche or non-notable bugs. We don't intend to add them back, as they would otherwise breach the [[BW:GUIDE|guidelines]] for making meaningful edits.

== Changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Redpill-specific changes ====<br />
Continuing on with the evolution of Metro starting with [[Windows 8 build 7978|build 7978]], the unlocked features in this build are a middle ground between the early Milestone 2 Metro of builds [[Windows 8 build 7927|7927]] to [[Windows 8 build 7963|7963]] and the closer to final looks of builds [[Windows 8 build 8032|8032]] and [[Windows 8 build 8056|8056]].<br />
<br />
The main [[Start screen]] user interface now includes a label for specific pages, and the Other Programs page has been replaced with a new Applications list, which displays the user's installed applications. The Charms bar now brings up a dedicated clock, and the Settings charm was redesigned to include new (albeit non-functional) option buttons for power, keyboard layout settings, and active network connections.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme has also been updated to feature a new design with sharp window corners and flat buttons, making it more resemblant towards the final look of the Windows 8 user interface. The ability to modify the Start screen's accent has been implemented, although its functionality is only available through the use of a registry hack and is largely limited to only two specific color choices. To change the start screen's accent color to a dark blue, merge the following entry into the current user's registry hive:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent]<br />
"ColorSet"=dword:00000001<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Miscellaneous ====<br />
*Restarting the system will now use the appropriate string value.<br />
*The [[Windows Basic]] theme is now used inside of the [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]], replacing the older [[Windows Classic|Classic]] visual style.<br />
*The boot screen's status message size has been slightly increased.<br />
<br />
=== Bugfixes ===<br />
==== Desktop Window Manager ====<br />
The [[Windows Aero]] visual style's atlas no longer breaks when attempting to composite blur, and glow effects on caption bar text now renders properly.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
=== App tiles ===<br />
Some app names (such as [[Control Panel]], [[Chess Titans]], Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles.<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Vector Extensions CPU bug ===<br />
This build will not boot on some CPUs with the [[w:Advanced Vector Extensions|Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set]] due to a bug where a CPU triple fault occurs immediately after the boot screen is first displayed. A workaround is discussed later in the article. This is the last build to contain this bug.<br />
<br />
This problem can also present itself as three [[bugcheck]]s occurring one after the other, with different error codes overwriting each other on the screen.<br />
<br />
=== Start screen ===<br />
The desktop application tile is treated as if were a native Metro application despite it not being one. As a result, it is possible to "uninstall" the desktop, although nothing will happen if attempted.<br />
<br />
=== [[Windows Setup]] ===<br />
* This build must be installed on either an IDE or a SATA hard drive as SCSI disk devices will not be detected properly.<br />
* On some machines, this build may take a significant amount of time to boot.<br />
<br />
=== Boot manager ===<br />
As the kernel/boot loader does not call any code to clear the video buffer early within the boot process, any graphics that are displayed in the boot screen may overlay themselves on top of the last frame sent by the boot manager. This problem is easily observed when loading into a ramdisk boot image or while loading into setup.<br />
<br />
=== Taskbar ===<br />
The Your Look tile has a white trail in the left and white instead of left white up and down.<br />
<br />
=== DWM ===<br />
If DWM is restarted when Redpill is enabled, it causes the Start Screen to glitch while dragging/scrolling.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
Attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock on [[VMware Workstation]] versions 15.x and newer releases. It is generally recommended to force an ACPI shutdown by powering off or resetting the virtual machine from the Power drop-down menu.<br />
<br />
=== Logoff error ===<br />
Sometimes, "WinRT UI Window" will prevent the user from logging off.<br />
<br />
== Compiler ==<br />
This is one of the first builds to be produced using a new compiler. However, the problems surrounding it at that time resulted in the build becoming unbootable on certain hardware, as the boot loader does not properly function on modern x86 CPUs, namely Intel processors with the AVX instruction set and a select number of AMD CPUs. As a result, a CPU triple fault occurs resulting in either a crash on a hypervisor or a reboot on real hardware.<br />
<br />
=== Patching winload.exe to run on Intel processors with AVX ===<br />
In order to properly enable SSE instructions for machines using Intel processor with AVX, the 9th bit in Control Register 4 (CR4) must be turned on. The following code is executed and is located in winload.exe at offset A137:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax, cr4 ; 0f20e0<br />
or eax, 20h ; 83c820 -- Turn on 5th bit, PAE (Physical Address Extension)<br />
mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
By default the following bits are set in CR0: Protected Mode (PE) (0x00000001), Monitor co-processor (MP) (0x00000002) and Extension type (ET) (0x00000010), with no bits in CR4 set initially, so the need to turn on the 9th SSE bit (i.e. OR with 0x600) should be done, but due to limitation in this piece of code, a rewriting needs to be done and the following approach may be used instead:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax,620h ; b820060000<br />
mov cr4,eax ; 0f22e0<br />
mov eax,80000013h ; b813000080<br />
mov cr0,eax ; 0f22c0<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, patching winload.exe with these changes will invalidate integrity checks and thus requires Test Mode to be enabled (by setting <code>NoIntegrityChecks</code> in the BCD to on) in order to boot with the patched winload.exe, as well as ownership of the file in both <code>%systemroot%\System32</code> and <code>%systemroot%\System32\Boot</code> need to be altered in case file replacement was not possible.<br />
<br />
=== Compatibility ===<br />
==== VMware Workstation ====<br />
For another workaround on the Intel SSE bug that does not involve patching and disabling security checks, the compatibility level must be set to version 7.x or lower in order to boot this build. In addition, the following block of code must be added to the VMX (virtual machine configuration) file in order to allow this build to boot on modern Intel CPUs:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini"><br />
cpuid.0.ebx = "0110:1000:0111:0100:0111:0101:0100:0001"<br />
cpuid.0.ecx = "0100:0100:0100:1101:0100:0001:0110:0011"<br />
cpuid.0.edx = "0110:1001:0111:0100:0110:1110:0110:0101"<br />
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

== Changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Redpill-specific changes ====<br />
Continuing on with the evolution of Metro starting with [[Windows 8 build 7978|build 7978]], the unlocked features in this build are a middle ground between the early Milestone 2 Metro of builds [[Windows 8 build 7927|7927]] to [[Windows 8 build 7963|7963]] and the closer to final looks of builds [[Windows 8 build 8032|8032]] and [[Windows 8 build 8056|8056]].<br />
<br />
The main [[Start screen]] user interface now includes a label for specific pages, and the Other Programs page has been replaced with a new Applications list, which displays the user's installed applications. The Charms bar now brings up a dedicated clock, and the Settings charm was redesigned to include new (albeit non-functional) option buttons for power, keyboard layout settings, and active network connections.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme has also been updated to feature a new design with sharp window corners and flat buttons, making it more resemblant towards the final look of the Windows 8 user interface. The ability to modify the Start screen's accent has been implemented, although its functionality is only available through the use of a registry hack and is largely limited to only two specific color choices. To change the start screen's accent color to a dark blue, merge the following entry into the current user's registry hive:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent]<br />
"ColorSet"=dword:00000001<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Miscellaneous ====<br />
*Restarting the system will now use the appropriate string value.<br />
*The [[Windows Basic]] theme is now used inside of the [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]], replacing the older [[Windows Classic|Classic]] visual style.<br />
*The boot screen's status message size has been slightly increased.<br />
<br />
=== Bugfixes ===<br />
==== Desktop Window Manager ====<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
=== App tiles ===<br />
Some app names (such as [[Control Panel]], [[Chess Titans]], Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles.<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Vector Extensions CPU bug ===<br />
This build will not boot on some CPUs with the [[w:Advanced Vector Extensions|Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set]] due to a bug where a CPU triple fault occurs immediately after the boot screen is first displayed. A workaround is discussed later in the article. This is the last build to contain this bug.<br />
<br />
This problem can also present itself as three [[bugcheck]]s occurring one after the other, with different error codes overwriting each other on the screen.<br />
<br />
=== Start screen ===<br />
The desktop application tile is treated as if were a native Metro application despite it not being one. As a result, it is possible to "uninstall" the desktop, although nothing will happen if attempted.<br />
<br />
=== [[Windows Setup]] ===<br />
* This build must be installed on either an IDE or a SATA hard drive as SCSI disk devices will not be detected properly.<br />
* On some machines, this build may take a significant amount of time to boot.<br />
<br />
=== Boot manager ===<br />
As the kernel/boot loader does not call any code to clear the video buffer early within the boot process, any graphics that are displayed in the boot screen may overlay themselves on top of the last frame sent by the boot manager. This problem is easily observed when loading into a ramdisk boot image or while loading into setup.<br />
<br />
=== Taskbar ===<br />
The Your Look tile has a white trail in the left and white instead of left white up and down.<br />
<br />
=== DWM ===<br />
If DWM is restarted when Redpill is enabled, it causes the Start Screen to glitch while dragging/scrolling.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
Attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock on [[VMware Workstation]] versions 15.x and newer releases. It is generally recommended to force an ACPI shutdown by powering off or resetting the virtual machine from the Power drop-down menu.<br />
<br />
=== Logoff error ===<br />
Sometimes, "WinRT UI Window" will prevent the user from logging off.<br />
<br />
== Compiler ==<br />
This is one of the first builds to be produced using a new compiler. However, the problems surrounding it at that time resulted in the build becoming unbootable on certain hardware, as the boot loader does not properly function on modern x86 CPUs, namely Intel processors with the AVX instruction set and a select number of AMD CPUs. As a result, a CPU triple fault occurs resulting in either a crash on a hypervisor or a reboot on real hardware.<br />
<br />
=== Patching winload.exe to run on Intel processors with AVX ===<br />
In order to properly enable SSE instructions for machines using Intel processor with AVX, the 9th bit in Control Register 4 (CR4) must be turned on. The following code is executed and is located in winload.exe at offset A137:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax, cr4 ; 0f20e0<br />
or eax, 20h ; 83c820 -- Turn on 5th bit, PAE (Physical Address Extension)<br />
mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
By default the following bits are set in CR0: Protected Mode (PE) (0x00000001), Monitor co-processor (MP) (0x00000002) and Extension type (ET) (0x00000010), with no bits in CR4 set initially, so the need to turn on the 9th SSE bit (i.e. OR with 0x600) should be done, but due to limitation in this piece of code, a rewriting needs to be done and the following approach may be used instead:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax,620h ; b820060000<br />
mov cr4,eax ; 0f22e0<br />
mov eax,80000013h ; b813000080<br />
mov cr0,eax ; 0f22c0<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, patching winload.exe with these changes will invalidate integrity checks and thus requires Test Mode to be enabled (by setting <code>NoIntegrityChecks</code> in the BCD to on) in order to boot with the patched winload.exe, as well as ownership of the file in both <code>%systemroot%\System32</code> and <code>%systemroot%\System32\Boot</code> need to be altered in case file replacement was not possible.<br />
<br />
=== Compatibility ===<br />
==== VMware Workstation ====<br />
For another workaround on the Intel SSE bug that does not involve patching and disabling security checks, the compatibility level must be set to version 7.x or lower in order to boot this build. In addition, the following block of code must be added to the VMX (virtual machine configuration) file in order to allow this build to boot on modern Intel CPUs:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini"><br />
cpuid.0.ebx = "0110:1000:0111:0100:0111:0101:0100:0001"<br />
cpuid.0.ecx = "0100:0100:0100:1101:0100:0001:0110:0011"<br />
cpuid.0.edx = "0110:1001:0111:0100:0110:1110:0110:0101"<br />
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />

mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />

<br />

</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

As the kernel/boot loader does not call any code to clear the video buffer early within the boot process, any graphics that are displayed in the boot screen may overlay themselves on top of the last frame sent by the boot manager. This problem is easily observed when loading into a ramdisk boot image or while loading into setup.<br />
<br />
=== Taskbar ===<br />
The Your Look tile has a white trail in the left and white instead of left white up and down.<br />
<br />
=== DWM ===<br />
If DWM is restarted when Redpill is enabled, it causes the Start Screen to glitch while dragging/scrolling.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
If using [[VMware]] Workstation versions 15.x or above changes in [[Windows 8 build 7878|build 7878]], attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock. To fix this, use the Power menu from the VM section. This bug persists until [[Windows 8 build 8008|build 8008]].<br />
<br />
=== Logoff error ===<br />
Sometimes, "WinRT UI Window" will prevent the user from logging off.<br />
<br />
== Compiler ==<br />
This is one of the first builds to be produced using a new compiler. However, the problems surrounding it at that time resulted in the build becoming unbootable on certain hardware, as the boot loader does not properly function on modern x86 CPUs, namely Intel processors with the AVX instruction set and a select number of AMD CPUs. As a result, a CPU triple fault occurs resulting in either a crash on a hypervisor or a reboot on real hardware.<br />
<br />
=== Patching winload.exe to run on Intel processors with AVX ===<br />
In order to properly enable SSE instructions for machines using Intel processor with AVX, the 9th bit in Control Register 4 (CR4) must be turned on. The following code is executed and is located in winload.exe at offset A137:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax, cr4 ; 0f20e0<br />
or eax, 20h ; 83c820 -- Turn on 5th bit, PAE (Physical Address Extension)<br />
mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
By default the following bits are set in CR0: Protected Mode (PE) (0x00000001), Monitor co-processor (MP) (0x00000002) and Extension type (ET) (0x00000010), with no bits in CR4 set initially, so the need to turn on the 9th SSE bit (i.e. OR with 0x600) should be done, but due to limitation in this piece of code, a rewriting needs to be done and the following approach may be used instead:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax,620h ; b820060000<br />
mov cr4,eax ; 0f22e0<br />
mov eax,80000013h ; b813000080<br />
mov cr0,eax ; 0f22c0<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, patching winload.exe with these changes will invalidate integrity checks and thus requires Test Mode to be enabled (by setting <code>NoIntegrityChecks</code> in the BCD to on) in order to boot with the patched winload.exe, as well as ownership of the file in both <code>%systemroot%\System32</code> and <code>%systemroot%\System32\Boot</code> need to be altered in case file replacement was not possible.<br />
<br />
=== Compatibility ===<br />
==== VMware Workstation ====<br />
For another workaround on the Intel SSE bug that does not involve patching and disabling security checks, the compatibility level must be set to version 7.x or lower in order to boot this build. In addition, the following block of code must be added to the VMX (virtual machine configuration) file in order to allow this build to boot on modern Intel CPUs:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini"><br />
cpuid.0.ebx = "0110:1000:0111:0100:0111:0101:0100:0001"<br />
cpuid.0.ecx = "0100:0100:0100:1101:0100:0001:0110:0011"<br />
cpuid.0.edx = "0110:1001:0111:0100:0110:1110:0110:0101"<br />
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

'''Windows 8 build 7985 (fbl_core1_kernel_cptx.110419-1745)''' is a Milestone 3 build of [[Windows 8]], which was shared on 28 June 2022. The public symbols for this build were then shared the next day. This build is one of the first to fix the issue with window borders not displaying correctly while Desktop Window Manager is enabled. This build features a new wallpaper with an updated wordoku puzzle. It was compiled 14 days earlier than the [[Windows 8 build 7985 (fbl_core1_kernel_cptx.110503-1501)|Computex 2011 demo build]].<br />

<br />
== Redpill ==<br />
Continuing on with the evolution of Metro starting with [[Windows 8 build 7978|build 7978]], the unlocked features in this build are a middle ground between the early Milestone 2 Metro of builds [[Windows 8 build 7927|7927]] to [[Windows 8 build 7963|7963]] and the closer to final looks of builds [[Windows 8 build 8032|8032]] and [[Windows 8 build 8056|8056]]. The [[Start screen]] now has the "Start" header, along with the Other Programs UI being replaced with the Applications list. The Charms bar now has a clock appear along with it, along with the Settings charm being redesigned, adding some non-functional toggles for the Power, keyboard, and a placeholder toggle called "VanUI", possibly standing for View Active Networks.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Aero|Aero]] theme has also been updated to feature a flatter design, becoming more resemblant with the current state of the [[Aero Lite|Windows Basic]] theme. The ability to modify the Start screen's accent has been implemented, although its functionality is only available through the use of a registry hack and there are only two color choices available. To change the start screen's accent color to blue, merge the following entry into the registry:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent]<br />
"ColorSet"=dword:00000001<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Changes ==<br />
*When restarting Windows, the message "Restarting..." will be used instead of "Shutting down...".<br />
*The [[Windows Basic]] theme is now used within the [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]], replacing the older [[Windows Classic|Classic]] visual style.<br />
*The boot screen's status message size has been slightly increased.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
=== App tiles ===<br />
Some app names (such as [[Control Panel]], [[Chess Titans]], Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles.<br />
=== Advanced Vector Extensions CPU bug ===<br />
This build will not boot on some CPUs with the [[w:Advanced Vector Extensions|Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set]] due to a bug where a CPU triple fault occurs immediately after the boot screen is first displayed. A workaround is discussed later in the article. This is the last build to contain this bug.<br />
<br />
This problem can also present itself as three [[bugcheck]]s occurring one after the other, with different error codes overwriting each other on the screen.<br />
<br />
=== Start screen ===<br />
The desktop application tile is treated as if were a native Metro application despite it not being one. As a result, it is possible to "uninstall" the desktop, although nothing will happen if attempted.<br />
<br />
=== [[Windows Setup]] ===<br />
* This build must be installed on either an IDE or a SATA hard drive as SCSI disk devices will not be detected properly.<br />
* On some machines, this build may take a significant amount of time to boot.<br />
<br />
=== Boot manager ===<br />
As the kernel/boot loader does not call any code to clear the video buffer early within the boot process, any graphics that are displayed in the boot screen may overlay themselves on top of the last frame sent by the boot manager. This problem is easily observed when loading into a ramdisk boot image or while loading into setup.<br />
<br />
=== Taskbar ===<br />
The Your Look tile has a white trail in the left and white instead of left white up and down.<br />
<br />
=== DWM ===<br />
If DWM is restarted when Redpill is enabled, it causes the Start Screen to glitch while dragging/scrolling.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
If using [[VMware]] Workstation versions 15.x or above changes in [[Windows 8 build 7878|build 7878]], attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock. To fix this, use the Power menu from the VM section. This bug persists until [[Windows 8 build 8008|build 8008]].<br />
<br />
=== Logoff error ===<br />
Sometimes, "WinRT UI Window" will prevent the user from logging off.<br />
<br />
== Compiler ==<br />
This is one of the first builds to be produced using a new compiler. However, the problems surrounding it at that time resulted in the build becoming unbootable on certain hardware, as the boot loader does not properly function on modern x86 CPUs, namely Intel processors with the AVX instruction set and a select number of AMD CPUs. As a result, a CPU triple fault occurs resulting in either a crash on a hypervisor or a reboot on real hardware.<br />
<br />
=== Patching winload.exe to run on Intel processors with AVX ===<br />
In order to properly enable SSE instructions for machines using Intel processor with AVX, the 9th bit in Control Register 4 (CR4) must be turned on. The following code is executed and is located in winload.exe at offset A137:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax, cr4 ; 0f20e0<br />
or eax, 20h ; 83c820 -- Turn on 5th bit, PAE (Physical Address Extension)<br />
mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
By default the following bits are set in CR0: Protected Mode (PE) (0x00000001), Monitor co-processor (MP) (0x00000002) and Extension type (ET) (0x00000010), with no bits in CR4 set initially, so the need to turn on the 9th SSE bit (i.e. OR with 0x600) should be done, but due to limitation in this piece of code, a rewriting needs to be done and the following approach may be used instead:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax,620h ; b820060000<br />
mov cr4,eax ; 0f22e0<br />
mov eax,80000013h ; b813000080<br />
mov cr0,eax ; 0f22c0<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, patching winload.exe with these changes will invalidate integrity checks and thus requires Test Mode to be enabled (by setting <code>NoIntegrityChecks</code> in the BCD to on) in order to boot with the patched winload.exe, as well as ownership of the file in both <code>%systemroot%\System32</code> and <code>%systemroot%\System32\Boot</code> need to be altered in case file replacement was not possible.<br />
<br />
=== Compatibility ===<br />
==== VMware Workstation ====<br />
For another workaround on the Intel SSE bug that does not involve patching and disabling security checks, the compatibility level must be set to version 7.x or lower in order to boot this build. In addition, the following block of code must be added to the VMX (virtual machine configuration) file in order to allow this build to boot on modern Intel CPUs:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini"><br />
cpuid.0.ebx = "0110:1000:0111:0100:0111:0101:0100:0001"<br />
cpuid.0.ecx = "0100:0100:0100:1101:0100:0001:0110:0011"<br />
cpuid.0.edx = "0110:1001:0111:0100:0110:1110:0110:0101"<br />
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

<br />
== Changes ==<br />
*When restarting Windows, the message "Restarting..." will be used instead of "Shutting down...".<br />
*The [[Windows Basic]] theme is now used within the [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]], replacing the older [[Windows Classic|Classic]] visual style.<br />
*The boot screen's status message size has been slightly increased.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
=== App tiles ===<br />
Some app names (such as [[Control Panel]], [[Chess Titans]], Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles.<br />
=== Advanced Vector Extensions CPU bug ===<br />
This build will not boot on some CPUs with the [[w:Advanced Vector Extensions|Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set]] due to a bug where a CPU triple fault occurs immediately after the boot screen is first displayed. A workaround is discussed later in the article. This is the last build to contain this bug.<br />
<br />
This problem can also present itself as three [[bugcheck]]s occurring one after the other, with different error codes overwriting each other on the screen.<br />
<br />
=== Start screen ===<br />
The desktop application tile is treated as if were a native Metro application despite it not being one. As a result, it is possible to "uninstall" the desktop, although nothing will happen if attempted.<br />
<br />
=== [[Windows Setup]] ===<br />
* This build must be installed on either an IDE or a SATA hard drive as SCSI disk devices will not be detected properly.<br />
* On some machines, this build may take a significant amount of time to boot.<br />
<br />
=== Boot manager ===<br />
As the kernel/boot loader does not call any code to clear the video buffer early within the boot process, any graphics that are displayed in the boot screen may overlay themselves on top of the last frame sent by the boot manager. This problem is easily observed when loading into a ramdisk boot image or while loading into setup.<br />
<br />
=== Taskbar ===<br />
The Your Look tile has a white trail in the left and white instead of left white up and down.<br />
<br />
=== DWM ===<br />
If DWM is restarted when Redpill is enabled, it causes the Start Screen to glitch while dragging/scrolling.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
If using [[VMware]] Workstation versions 15.x or above changes in [[Windows 8 build 7878|build 7878]], attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock. To fix this, use the Power menu from the VM section. This bug persists until [[Windows 8 build 8008|build 8008]].<br />
<br />
=== Logoff error ===<br />
Sometimes, "WinRT UI Window" will prevent the user from logging off.<br />
<br />
== Compiler ==<br />
This is one of the first builds to be produced using a new compiler. However, the problems surrounding it at that time resulted in the build becoming unbootable on certain hardware, as the boot loader does not properly function on modern x86 CPUs, namely Intel processors with the AVX instruction set and a select number of AMD CPUs. As a result, a CPU triple fault occurs resulting in either a crash on a hypervisor or a reboot on real hardware.<br />
<br />
=== Patching winload.exe to run on Intel processors with AVX ===<br />
In order to properly enable SSE instructions for machines using Intel processor with AVX, the 9th bit in Control Register 4 (CR4) must be turned on. The following code is executed and is located in winload.exe at offset A137:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax, cr4 ; 0f20e0<br />
or eax, 20h ; 83c820 -- Turn on 5th bit, PAE (Physical Address Extension)<br />
mov cr4, eax ; 0f22e0 -- Store it in CR4<br />
mov eax, cr0 ; 0f20c0<br />
or eax, 80000000h ; 0d00000080 -- Enable paging<br />
mov cr0, eax ; 0f22c0<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
By default the following bits are set in CR0: Protected Mode (PE) (0x00000001), Monitor co-processor (MP) (0x00000002) and Extension type (ET) (0x00000010), with no bits in CR4 set initially, so the need to turn on the 9th SSE bit (i.e. OR with 0x600) should be done, but due to limitation in this piece of code, a rewriting needs to be done and the following approach may be used instead:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="nasm"><br />
mov eax,620h ; b820060000<br />
mov cr4,eax ; 0f22e0<br />
mov eax,80000013h ; b813000080<br />
mov cr0,eax ; 0f22c0<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
nop ; 90<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, patching winload.exe with these changes will invalidate integrity checks and thus requires Test Mode to be enabled (by setting <code>NoIntegrityChecks</code> in the BCD to on) in order to boot with the patched winload.exe, as well as ownership of the file in both <code>%systemroot%\System32</code> and <code>%systemroot%\System32\Boot</code> need to be altered in case file replacement was not possible.<br />
<br />
=== Compatibility ===<br />
==== VMware Workstation ====<br />
For another workaround on the Intel SSE bug that does not involve patching and disabling security checks, the compatibility level must be set to version 7.x or lower in order to boot this build. In addition, the following block of code must be added to the VMX (virtual machine configuration) file in order to allow this build to boot on modern Intel CPUs:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini"><br />
cpuid.0.ebx = "0110:1000:0111:0100:0111:0101:0100:0001"<br />
cpuid.0.ecx = "0100:0100:0100:1101:0100:0001:0110:0011"<br />
cpuid.0.edx = "0110:1001:0111:0100:0110:1110:0110:0101"<br />
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The above configuration is mostly not required if the host machine has an AMD processor, and as such only requires the compatibility version to be changed.<br />

It was intended to address a majority of the remaining complaints that were made in response to the user interface in [[Windows 8]] and Windows 8.1; it gained largely positive reviews<ref name="Verge2015">Warren, Tom.

<br />
Documents sent to partners in late 2014 refer to this version as "Windows 8.2",<ref name="THNotes9807">Microsoft. [https://archive.org/download/6.4.9807.0.fbl_partner_eeap.140803-0005_EEAPNotes/Windows_8.2.pdf Windows Desktop Threshold Release Notes: Build 9807.0.140803 Early Partner Drop], ''Ecosystem Engineering Access Program''. 6 August 2014.</ref> "Windows 9", or "Windows TH".<ref name="THNotes9807"/> Microsoft explained the skip from number 8 to 10 as reinforcing the importance of Windows 10 as the last major version of Windows,<ref>Warren, Tom.

<br />
The [[Windows Insider Program]] was introduced with this version, boosting the company's engagement with its testers as well as distributing new releases more frequently than prior beta testing initiatives. The Insider program was also the first time [[Windows Update]] was used to publicly distribute full new builds of the operating system, as opposed to simple patches applied on top of the same build.<br />
<br />
== Main changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
The desktop interface received a major update after being left unchanged since Windows 7 in an attempt to reverse most of the controversial changes first introduced in Windows 8 - the [[taskbar]] received a design overhaul with the addition of a toggleable search box, an Action Center that allows the user to view notifications and change system settings quickly, and a Task View button that allows users to quickly switch between running applications and create virtual desktop workspaces. The calendar flyout that appears when clicking on the clock also received a design update, now utilizing a larger yet simpler user-friendly design featuring a digital clock, a shift away from the older user interface first introduced in [[Windows Vista]]. The search box also incorporates Cortana, an intelligent personal assistant which supports text and voice input, featuring functionality such as [[w:Bing|Bing]] integration, reminders, a notebook, as well as the ability to quickly search for documents, play music, or launch applications. Many system icons were also revamped to follow a revised version of the Metro design language.<br />
<br />
The DirectUI-based Start screen was removed in favor of a revamped [[w:XAML|XAML]]-based [[start menu]], divided into two columns: the left side containing links to frequently used applications and user folders, as well as an option to display all installed applications present on the user's device; the right side featuring the user's pinned applications, which can be resized and rearranged - some applications also feature information displayed in real-time, much like its predecessors. The Start menu can also be resized or the user interface placed into a tablet mode that largely resembles functionality observed in Windows 8 and its built-in full-screen applications.<br />
<br />
The operating system was redesigned to adapt its user interface based on the type of device being used and available input methods, offering two separate modes which include the regular desktop user interface, and an optimized tablet mode intended for [[w:touch screen|touch screen]] devices. Users can switch between the two modes and the operating system can prompt or automatically switch the UI mode when certain events occur, such as disabling the Tablet UI on a tablet if a keyboard or mouse is plugged in, or when a [[w:2-in-1 PC|convertible laptop]] changes positions - in tablet mode, most applications are forced into their maximized states, and the taskbar is simplified for touchscreen use by implementing a return button and hiding pinned and/or running applications by default.<br />
<br />
The logon screen was updated to support improved multi-factor authentication technology through ''Windows Hello'', a feature allowing users to log onto Windows through the use of iris or face recognition technology via a supported camera. The design of the login screen and lock screen was also revamped.<br />
<br />
The [[File Explorer]] application was updated to support providing quick and easy access to frequently used files and folders via the ''Quick access'' folder, as well as the ability to quickly share files from within the operating system.<br />
<br />
Windows Update received major changes to its overall functionality and operation; manual installation of updates are no longer available (excluding those released through the Windows Update Catalog, which can be installed through the ''Windows Update Standalone Installer'' utility), and all updates are now downloaded and installed onto the user's device automatically regardless of type. Users can no longer postpone the mandatory restart for updates as they are only given the option to reboot automatically to install the updates when the system is not being used or be notified to schedule the reboot. Cumulative updates were also introduced, merging separate updates into a single update package, mitigating the need for multiple restarts and reducing the total number of required downloads; it is therefore no longer possible to download and install updates that fix individual issues. Major Windows feature updates are now delivered to the user through the use of the Unified Update Platform, which allows for mass distribution of new operating system releases to a wide audience of users without requiring them to manually download the operating system install media.<br />
<br />
The [[Settings]] user interface was revamped to feature a central hub, featuring categories for functionality such as device management, networking and privacy settings, in turn deprecating the older [[Control Panel]] user interface. Options from the older Control Panel user interface would be gradually moved over to the Settings application with newer Windows 10 releases, with links redirecting to the newer user interface.<br />
<br />
=== Applications ===<br />
Built-in Windows applications such as [[Windows Mail|Mail]], [[Windows Calendar|Calendar]], [[Calculator]] and Photos have received a significant design overhaul, largely deviating away from the tablet-focused initiatives first implemented in Windows 8 with a user-centered focus while still retaining much of the existing Metro design principles.<br />
<br />
The [[w:Universal Windows Platform|Universal Windows Platform]] (UWP) has been introduced as an extension to the existing [[w:Windows Runtime|Windows Runtime]] platform, providing a core set of [[w:application programming interfaces|application programming interfaces]] common to all variations of the Windows operating system, enabling the ability to program a single application with adaptations (such as UI differences and changes to feature sets) for different device families including desktops and laptops, tablets, smartphones (via [[Windows 10 Mobile]]), Xbox One, and other new device classes such as the [[w:Surface Hub|Surface Hub]] and [[w:Microsoft HoloLens|Microsoft HoloLens]]. In relation, [[Windows Store]] apps were overhauled to open in regular desktop windows, rather than opening up in full-screen mode in the regular UI. App commands which were previously available on the charms bar are now accessed from an app command menu on the window caption bar.<br />
<br />
The [[Microsoft Edge]] web browser (codenamed ''Spartan'') was introduced to replace [[Internet Explorer]], featuring a modernized tab-based user interface coupled with granular support for inking and support for minimal reading modes. The browser features a rendering engine based on [[Internet Explorer]]'s [[w:Trident (rendering engine)|Trident]] labeled [[w:EdgeHTML|EdgeHTML]], which additionally implements a [[w:Chakra (JavaScript engine)|fork]] of the [[w:Chakra (JScript engine)|Chakra JScript engine]] first introduced in [[Internet Explorer 9]] whilst removing most legacy functionality. The web browser was initially criticized for its lackluster feature set on launch,<ref name="CNET2015"/><ref name="VergeEdge2015">Seifert, Dan. [https://www.theverge.com/2015/7/29/9066255/microsoft-windows-edge-browser-review Microsoft Edge review: Windows finally has a good browser], ''The Verge''. 29 July 2015.</ref><ref>Buckler, Craig. [https://www.sitepoint.com/microsoft-edge-review/ Microsoft Edge: The Review], ''SitePoint''. 18 August 2015.</ref> and subsequent major Windows 10 feature updates later drew further criticism from users for its dark advertising patterns. Users are now required to manually change the default web browser as the ability for web browsers to automatically set themselves as the user's default browser has been removed to prevent browser hijacking. In addition, parental controls no longer support non-Microsoft browsers or the ability to control browsing using a whitelist.<br />
<br />
As a result of Edge's introduction in Windows 10, the legacy Internet Explorer web browser was shifted to the ''Windows Accessories'' directory within the [[start menu]].<br />
<br />
An updated version of the [[Windows Store]] was also introduced, featuring a revamped user interface allowing for easier browsing and application discoverability, along with dedicated sections for content sourced from Microsoft's other distribution platforms such as [[Movies & TV]] and [[Groove Music]], of which are rebranded versions of the Xbox Music and Video applications.<br />
<br />
The [[Help and Support]] application has been disabled, and resources pointing to it now direct the user to the Microsoft support website for help content; it is no longer possible to view help content offline. Support for the older WinHelp viewer has also been dropped in a similar if not identical spirit to Help and Support, disabling support for <code>.hlp</code> files entirely.<br />
<br />
The [[Windows Media Center]] [[w:digital video recorder|digital video recorder]]/[[w:media player|media player]] application (and its respective associated Windows edition) has been completely removed from the operating system, citing low interest from consumers;<ref>Paul, Ian. [https://www.pcworld.com/article/427290/rip-windows-media-center-microsofts-htpc-software-wont-come-to-windows-10.html RIP Windows Media Center: Microsoft’s HTPC software won’t come to Windows 10], ''PC World''. 4 May 2015.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/GabeAul/status/595325485309005824 Gabriel Aul on ''Twitter'': "We can confirm that due to decreased usage, Windows Media Center will not be part of Windows 10."] 4 May 2015.</ref> a decision that was first foreshadowed during [[Windows 8]] development as the company had announced that the application was deprecated.<ref>Bott, Ed.

V. Vidyaranjan. [https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/getting-the-windows-dvd-player-app/6c94b519-8b05-462e-a864-b7ad67d5c834 Getting the Windows DVD Player app], ''Microsoft Answers''. 28 July 2015.</ref><br />
<br />
Additional legacy functionality first introduced in [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows 7|7]] have either been changed or completely removed; the [[Windows Easy Transfer]] application was removed from the operating system, whereas the [[Windows Photo Viewer]] application was deprecated in favor of the newer Photos application, with the application being hidden by default; the respective entries for invoking the application itself and its system defaults, however, are preserved when upgrading from either [[Windows 7]], [[Windows 8]] or [[Windows 8.1]].<ref>Microsoft. [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/photo-viewer-for-windows-10-ff861e89-d4a7-146d-19d0-1b117b94ffc2 Photo viewer for Windows 10], ''Microsoft Support''.</ref> Support for legacy backups created using the older [[Backup and Restore]] Control Panel applet, previously removed in Windows 8.1, was reimplemented to provide compatibility for backups made on Windows Vista and 7.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
Upgrades to higher Windows editions are now primarily handled through the ''Change Product Key'' utility (<code>changepk.exe</code>); the functionality for the [[Windows Anytime Upgrade]] application was merged into a dedicated user interface that is implemented through the Settings application. Upgrades can still be performed via the DISM command-line utility if the operating system is in setup audit mode or if the edition in question is a server release of Windows.<br />
<br />
Windows Console Host windows can now be resized without arbitrary sizing restrictions and includes major improvements to functionality, such as the ability to use standard keyboard shortcuts within the console, word wrapping and the ability to move the caret cursor, as well as support for text selection and manipulation. Console windows can also now be made full screen by using the {{key press|Alt|Enter}} hotkey.<br />
<br />
The DirectX 12 multimedia [[w:application programming interface|application programming interface]] was introduced in Windows 10, offering a new set of low-level features which were primarily designed to reduce overall driver overhead while also introducing advanced functionality such as added [[w:blend mode|blend mode]]s, added support for [[w:Z-order curves#Texture mapping|Z-ordered texture mapping]] and [[w:texture compression|texture compression]] and explicit support for multiple [[w:graphics processing unit|graphics processing unit]] adapters.<br />
<br />
Drivers for floppy drives are no longer integrated into the operating system and must be downloaded separately, and the ability to create [[MS-DOS 8.00]] boot disks, a feature last updated in [[Windows XP]], has been completely removed.<br />
<br />
Guest accounts have been deprecated, with the option to create an account being removed from the [[Control Panel]] entirely. The option to enable the built-in Guest account is still present and can be enabled through built-in account management utilities, including the ability to create new guest accounts altogether.<br />
<br />
== System requirements ==<br />
Microsoft recommends that Windows 10 be installed on a system with a processor with a speed of at least 1&nbsp;GHz, at least 1 GB (2 GB for x64 versions) of RAM, 16 GB (20 GB for x64 versions) of hard drive space, and a DirectX 9-based WDDM display adapter or better display adapter.<ref>[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-system-requirements-6d4e9a79-66bf-7950-467c-795cf0386715 Windows 10 system requirements], ''Microsoft Support''.</ref><br />
<br />
Windows 10 can be installed on processors as early as the Pentium 4 and the Athlon 64 with Socket AM2. Windows 10 can also be run with as low as 512 MB of RAM.<br />

'''Windows XP build 2410 (main)''' is a pre-Beta 2 build of [[Windows XP]] that was released to testers on 4 January 2001.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20020607020255/http://winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_gold2.asp Windows XP: The Road to Gold (Part Two)], ''Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows (via Wayback Machine)''. 24 August 2001.</ref><br />
<br />
== New features and changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Look and feel ====<br />
The "Professional" wallpaper first seen in [[Windows XP build 2264|build 2264]] is now set by default. The [[Watercolor|Professional]] theme has been updated to feature the new "Watercolor" name, and now additionally includes highlighted caption buttons upon hover. The [[Sample Test Visual Style]] was added, acting as a decoy to distract the general public during development of [[Luna]]. The visual style is available in two variants, ''Chartreuse Mongoose'' and ''Blue Lagoon''.<br />
<br />
The first set of icons intended for the new Luna design have also been introduced in the operating system. The new designs feature a colorful, cartoon-like appearance across various system surfaces.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Explorer ====<br />
Windows Explorer no longer uses the older [[Windows Me]] design, and all folder views (including system folders) now employ the home page design. Support for opening ZIP files has also been ported from [[Windows Me]].<br />
<br />
The Search Assistant, an animated character while searching, has been introduced. The included assistants include Rover and Merlin.<br />
<br />
==== Application updates ====<br />
[[Internet Explorer]], [[Windows Media Player]], and [[Windows Messenger]] were respectively updated to versions 6.0 Beta 2, 8.0 and 3.0.<br />
<br />
==== Start menu ====<br />
The Start menu has received a minor design update - the current username has been moved to the top of the main panel, and the user's default applications for the My Recently Used panel's Internet and E-mail shortcuts are now shown alongside their respective application icons. <br />
<br />
==== Start Page ====<br />
Unlike other Whistler builds, this is the only build of Windows XP to contain a functioning Start page, a feature that was previously included as part of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune project]] and in early [[Windows Me]] builds. It is mapped to the Start button, and pressing it will create a new instance of the Start page. To access the regular Start menu, the user must press on the Start button while holding down {{key press|⇧ Shift}}. To enable the Start Page, the below entries must be merged into the registry:<ref>[https://twitter.com/thebookisclosed/status/1312490804674322432 Albacore on Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]<br />
"FaultID"=dword:00000065<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage\Normal\W32Control1]<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Windows Setup ===<br />
Setup has received slight user interface updates, and the overall installation process now further resembles that of the final release. This includes hiding the welcome dialog by default during a clean installation, with the GUI-based phase of setup immediately starting with the driver installation phase after initialization. The ''Microsoft Whistler'' wordmark was removed from the background, and a product key is now required by default.<br />
<br />
The Typical option in the networking settings page now references the QoS packet scheduler, and a new autorun user interface featuring a primitive UI design has been introduced.<br />
<br />
==== Out-of-box experience ====<br />
The [[out-of-box experience]] has been updated. It no longer runs at a [[w:16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 aspect ratio]] on widescreen displays, instead always defaulting to a [[w:4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 aspect ratio]]. The mouse tutorial has replaced with a simple pop-up that instructs the user on how to operate a mouse deivce. Microsoft Agent characters now work properly, and the Merlin assistant additionally guides the user throughout the OOBE, albeit with placeholder text in specific stages of the setup process.<br />
<br />
The OOBE now contains a new page that asks if the user's computer is part of a local area network, followed by additional pages for [[Windows Product Activation]], registration with Microsoft services and the user's summary of completed tasks.<br />
<br />
=== VESA BIOS Extensions support ===<br />
The built-in [[w:Video Graphics Array|Video Graphics Array]] (VGA) driver now supports [[w:VESA BIOS Extensions|VESA BIOS Extensions]] (VBE), allowing for 16- and 24-bit color modes without a graphics driver (if a compatible [[w:Graphics processing unit|GPU]] is present). As a result, the operating system will now run at the highest supported color depth by default.<br />
<br />
=== Windows Product Activation ===<br />
[[Windows Product Activation]], a new form of [[w:digital rights management|digital rights management]] technology, has been introduced with the incentive of preventing [[w:software piracy|software piracy]] – every installation of Microsoft Windows is assigned a unique installation identifier to distinguish individual copies from one another. Users must activate their copy of Windows XP in order to enforce the relevant provisions of the license agreement about using the product on multiple computers. Activation was done over the internet or over an automated telephone line. If the user does not activate the operating system after the initial 30-day grace period, the user will be unable to log onto Windows unless it is activated. If the user attempts to perform significant changes to the hardware, the license associated with the device is voided and the operating system must be re-activated.<br />
<br />
Besides the presence of its associated page in the [[out-of-box experience]], The new WPA user interface can be brought up by invoking the <code>C:\Windows\System32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a</code> command. The actual WPA mechanism in this build is not present, and as such the operating system can still be used past the intended grace period.<br />
<br />
=== System utilities ===<br />
The command-line System Information application (<code>SystemInfo.exe</code>) and <code>tskill.exe</code> (Task Kill) system utilities have been added.<br />
<br />
=== Control Panel ===<br />
==== Folder Options ====<br />
Folder Options received new view options. The new options include: "Show compressed NTFS files/folders in alternate color" and "Use Search Assistant for Searching". "Display compressed files and folders with alternate colors" was also replaced with "Display file size information in folder tips".<br />
<br />
==== Internet Options====<br />
New Internet options were added. These include: "Force offscreen compositing even under Terminal Server", "Use tabs to show Explorer Bars" and "Enable Image Toolbar".<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility Options ====<br />
Accessibility Options no longer includes its respective icons. The SoundSentry applet's options has been moved into the main dialog, and high-contrast cursor options have been added to the Display tab. <br />
<br />
==== Add Hardware ====<br />
Add New Hardware was renamed to Add Hardware. Its first page now includes a summary of the overall hardware driver installation process, and subsequent pages now detail what the user is currently doing.<br />
<br />
==== Date and Time ====<br />
Network Time has been renamed to Internet Time.<br />
<br />
==== Display Properties ====<br />
It is no longer possible to set a custom web page through the Customize Desktop submenu, and a new option for cleaning up the user's desktop has been added.<br />
<br />
==== Speech ====<br />
The "Preview Voice" option has been moved above the voice speed option. An about tab was also added, specifying the SAPI version. The icon was also updated. <br />
<br />
==== System Properties ====<br />
The Automatic Updates applet has been moved to the System Properties applet. The icons used for the Advanced tab of said applet were also removed, with Environment Variables now being a button.<br />
<br />
==== Taskbar and Start Menu ====<br />
The "Show the clock" option received an image showcasing the taskbar with or without the clock. The Simple and Classic start menu options have also received new descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Keyring ====<br />
Credential Manager has been renamed to Windows Keyring. The "Network Identification Keyring" banner has also been removed.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
*The Recycle Bin is now located at the bottom right corner of the desktop by default. It also uses a new icon that is similar to its final appearance, albeit with handles, which would later be removed before the final release.<br />
*The name and description for [[w:Dr. Watson (debugger)|Dr. Watson]] (<code>drwtsn32.exe</code>) has been genericized by dropping the Windows 2000 branding. As such, it is now respectively referred to as ''Dr. Watson for Windows'' and ''Windows Application Error Debugger''.<br />
*Paint can now save files as other formats besides bitmap, with these including JPEG, GIF, EMF, TIFF and PNG.<br />
*A new wizard mode has been added to [[NTBackup]], acting as the de-facto mode. The previous user interface is now referred to as "Advanced Mode" and can be launched from within the application.<br />
*The MSN Explorer application first seen in [[Windows 9x]] has been backported to this build. It can be found on the desktop or within the start menu.<br />
*The [[System Restore]] utility is now enabled by default.<br />
*The "Show windows contents when dragging" option used for window animations is now on by default.<br />
*New [[bugcheck]] codes have been added:<br />
** <code>SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT</code> (<code>0xEC</code>)<br />
** <code>PREFETCHER_POOL_ERROR_BUGCHECK</code> (<code>0xEE</code>); removed late into development<br />
** <code>UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME</code> (<code>0xED</code>)<br />

'''Windows XP build 2410 (main)''' is a pre-Beta 2 build of [[Windows XP]] that was released to testers on 4 January 2001.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20020607020255/http://winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_gold2.asp Windows XP: The Road to Gold (Part Two)], ''Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows (via Wayback Machine)''. 24 August 2001.</ref><br />
<br />
== New features and changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Look and feel ====<br />
The "Professional" wallpaper first seen in [[Windows XP build 2264|build 2264]] is now set by default. The [[Watercolor|Professional]] theme has been updated to feature the new "Watercolor" name, and now additionally includes highlighted caption buttons upon hover. The [[Sample Test Visual Style]] was added, acting as a decoy to distract the general public during development of [[Luna]]. The visual style is available in two variants, ''Chartreuse Mongoose'' and ''Blue Lagoon''.<br />
<br />
The first set of icons intended for the new Luna design have also been introduced in the operating system. The new designs feature a colorful, cartoon-like appearance across various system surfaces.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Explorer ====<br />
Windows Explorer no longer uses the older [[Windows Me]] design, and all folder views (including system folders) now employ the home page design. Support for opening ZIP files has also been ported from [[Windows Me]].<br />
<br />
The Search Assistant, an animated character while searching, has been introduced. The included assistants include Rover and Merlin.<br />
<br />
==== Application updates ====<br />
[[Internet Explorer]], [[Windows Media Player]], and [[Windows Messenger]] were respectively updated to versions 6.0 Beta 2, 8.0 and 3.0.<br />
<br />
==== Start menu ====<br />
The Start menu has received a minor design update - the current username has been moved to the top of the main panel, and the user's default applications for the My Recently Used panel's Internet and E-mail shortcuts are now shown alongside their respective application icons. <br />
<br />
==== Start Page ====<br />
Unlike other Whistler builds, this is the only build of Windows XP to contain a functioning Start page, a feature that was previously included as part of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune project]] and in early [[Windows Me]] builds. It is mapped to the Start button, and pressing it will create a new instance of the Start page. To access the regular Start menu, the user must press on the Start button while holding down {{key press|⇧ Shift}}. To enable the Start Page, the below entries must be merged into the registry:<ref>[https://twitter.com/thebookisclosed/status/1312490804674322432 Albacore on Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]<br />
"FaultID"=dword:00000065<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage\Normal\W32Control1]<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Windows Setup ===<br />
Setup has received slight user interface updates, and the overall installation process now further resembles that of the final release. This includes hiding the welcome dialog by default during a clean installation, with the GUI-based phase of setup immediately beginning the driver installation phase after initialization. The ''Microsoft Whistler'' wordmark was removed from the background, and a product key is now required by default.<br />
<br />
The Typical option in the networking settings page now references the QoS packet scheduler, and a new autorun user interface featuring a primitive UI design has been introduced.<br />
<br />
==== Out-of-box experience ====<br />
The [[out-of-box experience]] has been updated. It no longer runs at a [[w:16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 aspect ratio]] on widescreen displays, instead always defaulting to a [[w:4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 aspect ratio]]. The mouse tutorial has replaced with a simple pop-up that instructs the user on how to operate a mouse deivce. Microsoft Agent characters now work properly, and the Merlin assistant additionally guides the user throughout the OOBE, albeit with placeholder text in specific stages of the setup process.<br />
<br />
The OOBE now contains a new page that asks if the user's computer is part of a local area network, followed by additional pages for [[Windows Product Activation]], registration with Microsoft services and the user's summary of completed tasks.<br />
<br />
=== VESA BIOS Extensions support ===<br />
The built-in [[w:Video Graphics Array|Video Graphics Array]] (VGA) driver now supports [[w:VESA BIOS Extensions|VESA BIOS Extensions]] (VBE), allowing for 16- and 24-bit color modes without a graphics driver (if a compatible [[w:Graphics processing unit|GPU]] is present). As a result, the operating system will now run at the highest supported color depth by default.<br />
<br />
=== Windows Product Activation ===<br />
[[Windows Product Activation]], a new form of [[w:digital rights management|digital rights management]] technology, has been introduced with the incentive of preventing [[w:software piracy|software piracy]] – every installation of Microsoft Windows is assigned a unique installation identifier to distinguish individual copies from one another. Users must activate their copy of Windows XP in order to enforce the relevant provisions of the license agreement about using the product on multiple computers. Activation was done over the internet or over an automated telephone line. If the user does not activate the operating system after the initial 30-day grace period, the user will be unable to log onto Windows unless it is activated. If the user attempts to perform significant changes to the hardware, the license associated with the device is voided and the operating system must be re-activated.<br />
<br />
Besides the presence of its associated page in the [[out-of-box experience]], The new WPA user interface can be brought up by invoking the <code>C:\Windows\System32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a</code> command. The actual WPA mechanism in this build is not present, and as such the operating system can still be used past the intended grace period.<br />
<br />
=== System utilities ===<br />
The command-line System Information application (<code>SystemInfo.exe</code>) and <code>tskill.exe</code> (Task Kill) system utilities have been added.<br />
<br />
=== Control Panel ===<br />
==== Folder Options ====<br />
Folder Options received new view options. The new options include: "Show compressed NTFS files/folders in alternate color" and "Use Search Assistant for Searching". "Display compressed files and folders with alternate colors" was also replaced with "Display file size information in folder tips".<br />
<br />
==== Internet Options====<br />
New Internet options were added. These include: "Force offscreen compositing even under Terminal Server", "Use tabs to show Explorer Bars" and "Enable Image Toolbar".<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility Options ====<br />
Accessibility Options no longer includes its respective icons. The SoundSentry applet's options has been moved into the main dialog, and high-contrast cursor options have been added to the Display tab. <br />
<br />
==== Add Hardware ====<br />
Add New Hardware was renamed to Add Hardware. Its first page now includes a summary of the overall hardware driver installation process, and subsequent pages now detail what the user is currently doing.<br />
<br />
==== Date and Time ====<br />
Network Time has been renamed to Internet Time.<br />
<br />
==== Display Properties ====<br />
It is no longer possible to set a custom web page through the Customize Desktop submenu, and a new option for cleaning up the user's desktop has been added.<br />
<br />
==== Speech ====<br />
The "Preview Voice" option has been moved above the voice speed option. An about tab was also added, specifying the SAPI version. The icon was also updated. <br />
<br />
==== System Properties ====<br />
The Automatic Updates applet has been moved to the System Properties applet. The icons used for the Advanced tab of said applet were also removed, with Environment Variables now being a button.<br />
<br />
==== Taskbar and Start Menu ====<br />
The "Show the clock" option received an image showcasing the taskbar with or without the clock. The Simple and Classic start menu options have also received new descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Keyring ====<br />
Credential Manager has been renamed to Windows Keyring. The "Network Identification Keyring" banner has also been removed.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
*The Recycle Bin is now located at the bottom right corner of the desktop by default. It also uses a new icon that is similar to its final appearance, albeit with handles, which would later be removed before the final release.<br />
*The name and description for [[w:Dr. Watson (debugger)|Dr. Watson]] (<code>drwtsn32.exe</code>) has been genericized by dropping the Windows 2000 branding. As such, it is now respectively referred to as ''Dr. Watson for Windows'' and ''Windows Application Error Debugger''.<br />
*Paint can now save files as other formats besides bitmap, with these including JPEG, GIF, EMF, TIFF and PNG.<br />
*A new wizard mode has been added to [[NTBackup]], acting as the de-facto mode. The previous user interface is now referred to as "Advanced Mode" and can be launched from within the application.<br />
*The MSN Explorer application first seen in [[Windows 9x]] has been backported to this build. It can be found on the desktop or within the start menu.<br />
*The [[System Restore]] utility is now enabled by default.<br />
*The "Show windows contents when dragging" option used for window animations is now on by default.<br />
*New [[bugcheck]] codes have been added:<br />
** <code>SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT</code> (<code>0xEC</code>)<br />
** <code>PREFETCHER_POOL_ERROR_BUGCHECK</code> (<code>0xEE</code>); removed late into development<br />
** <code>UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME</code> (<code>0xED</code>)<br />

'''Windows XP build 2410 (main)''' is a pre-Beta 2 build of [[Windows XP]] that was released to testers on 4 January 2001.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20020607020255/http://winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_gold2.asp Windows XP: The Road to Gold (Part Two)], ''Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows (via Wayback Machine)''. 24 August 2001.</ref><br />
<br />
== New features and changes ==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
==== Look and feel ====<br />
The "Professional" wallpaper first seen in [[Windows XP build 2264|build 2264]] is now set by default. The [[Watercolor|Professional]] theme has been updated to feature the new "Watercolor" name, and now additionally includes highlighted caption buttons upon hover. The [[Sample Test Visual Style]] was added, acting as a decoy to distract the general public during development of [[Luna]]. The visual style is available in two variants, ''Chartreuse Mongoose'' and ''Blue Lagoon''.<br />
<br />
The first set of icons intended for the new Luna design have also been introduced in the operating system. The new designs feature a colorful, cartoon-like appearance across various system surfaces.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Explorer ====<br />
Windows Explorer no longer uses the older [[Windows Me]] design, and all folder views (including system folders) now employ the home page design. Support for opening ZIP files has also been ported from [[Windows Me]].<br />
<br />
The Search Assistant, an animated character while searching, has been introduced. The included assistants include Rover and Merlin.<br />
<br />
==== Application updates ====<br />
[[Internet Explorer]], [[Windows Media Player]], and [[Windows Messenger]] were respectively updated to versions 6.0 Beta 2, 8.0 and 3.0.<br />
<br />
==== Start menu ====<br />
The Start menu has received a minor design update - the current username has been moved to the top of the main panel, and the user's default applications for the My Recently Used panel's Internet and E-mail shortcuts are now shown alongside their respective application icons. <br />
<br />
==== Start Page ====<br />
Unlike other Whistler builds, this is the only build of Windows XP to contain a functioning Start page, a feature that was previously included as part of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune project]] and in early [[Windows Me]] builds. It is mapped to the Start button, and pressing it will create a new instance of the Start page. To access the regular Start menu, the user must press on the Start button while holding down {{key press|⇧ Shift}}. To enable the Start Page, the below entries must be merged into the registry:<ref>[https://twitter.com/thebookisclosed/status/1312490804674322432 Albacore on Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="registry"><br />
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]<br />
"FaultID"=dword:00000065<br />
<br />
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage\Normal\W32Control1]<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Windows Setup ===<br />
==== Clean-install ====<br />
Setup has received slight user interface updates, and the overall installation process now further resembles that of the final release. This includes hiding the introductory dialog by default, immediately beginning the driver installation phase after Setup initializes. The ''Microsoft Whistler'' wordmark was removed from the background, and a product key is now required by default.<br />
<br />
The Typical option in the networking settings page now references the QoS packet scheduler.<br />
<br />
==== Upgrade setup ====<br />
A new autorun user interface featuring a primitive UI design has been introduced.<br />
<br />
==== Out-of-box experience ====<br />
The [[out-of-box experience]] has been updated. It no longer runs at a [[w:16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 aspect ratio]] on widescreen displays, instead always defaulting to a [[w:4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 aspect ratio]]. The mouse tutorial has replaced with a simple pop-up that instructs the user on how to operate a mouse deivce. Microsoft Agent characters now work properly, and the Merlin assistant additionally guides the user throughout the OOBE, albeit with placeholder text in specific stages of the setup process.<br />
<br />
The OOBE now contains a new page that asks if the user's computer is part of a local area network, followed by additional pages for [[Windows Product Activation]], registration with Microsoft services and the user's summary of completed tasks.<br />
<br />
=== VESA BIOS Extensions support ===<br />
The built-in [[w:Video Graphics Array|Video Graphics Array]] (VGA) driver now supports [[w:VESA BIOS Extensions|VESA BIOS Extensions]] (VBE), allowing for 16- and 24-bit color modes without a graphics driver (if a compatible [[w:Graphics processing unit|GPU]] is present). As a result, the operating system will now run at the highest supported color depth by default.<br />
<br />
=== Windows Product Activation ===<br />
[[Windows Product Activation]], a new form of [[w:digital rights management|digital rights management]] technology, has been introduced with the incentive of preventing [[w:software piracy|software piracy]] – every installation of Microsoft Windows is assigned a unique installation identifier to distinguish individual copies from one another. Users must activate their copy of Windows XP in order to enforce the relevant provisions of the license agreement about using the product on multiple computers. Activation was done over the internet or over an automated telephone line. If the user does not activate the operating system after the initial 30-day grace period, the user will be unable to log onto Windows unless it is activated. If the user attempts to perform significant changes to the hardware, the license associated with the device is voided and the operating system must be re-activated.<br />
<br />
Besides the presence of its associated page in the [[out-of-box experience]], The new WPA user interface can be brought up by invoking the <code>C:\Windows\System32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a</code> command. The actual WPA mechanism in this build is not present, and as such the operating system can still be used past the intended grace period.<br />
<br />
=== System utilities ===<br />
The command-line System Information application (<code>SystemInfo.exe</code>) and <code>tskill.exe</code> (Task Kill) system utilities have been added.<br />
<br />
=== Control Panel ===<br />
==== Folder Options ====<br />
Folder Options received new view options. The new options include: "Show compressed NTFS files/folders in alternate color" and "Use Search Assistant for Searching". "Display compressed files and folders with alternate colors" was also replaced with "Display file size information in folder tips".<br />
<br />
==== Internet Options====<br />
New Internet options were added. These include: "Force offscreen compositing even under Terminal Server", "Use tabs to show Explorer Bars" and "Enable Image Toolbar".<br />
<br />
==== Accessibility Options ====<br />
Accessibility Options no longer includes its respective icons. The SoundSentry applet's options has been moved into the main dialog, and high-contrast cursor options have been added to the Display tab. <br />
<br />
==== Add Hardware ====<br />
Add New Hardware was renamed to Add Hardware. Its first page now includes a summary of the overall hardware driver installation process, and subsequent pages now detail what the user is currently doing.<br />
<br />
==== Date and Time ====<br />
Network Time has been renamed to Internet Time.<br />
<br />
==== Display Properties ====<br />
It is no longer possible to set a custom web page through the Customize Desktop submenu, and a new option for cleaning up the user's desktop has been added.<br />
<br />
==== Speech ====<br />
The "Preview Voice" option has been moved above the voice speed option. An about tab was also added, specifying the SAPI version. The icon was also updated. <br />
<br />
==== System Properties ====<br />
The Automatic Updates applet has been moved to the System Properties applet. The icons used for the Advanced tab of said applet were also removed, with Environment Variables now being a button.<br />
<br />
==== Taskbar and Start Menu ====<br />
The "Show the clock" option received an image showcasing the taskbar with or without the clock. The Simple and Classic start menu options have also received new descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== Windows Keyring ====<br />
Credential Manager has been renamed to Windows Keyring. The "Network Identification Keyring" banner has also been removed.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
*The Recycle Bin is now located at the bottom right corner of the desktop by default. It also uses a new icon that is similar to its final appearance, albeit with handles, which would later be removed before the final release.<br />
*The name and description for [[w:Dr. Watson (debugger)|Dr. Watson]] (<code>drwtsn32.exe</code>) has been genericized by dropping the Windows 2000 branding. As such, it is now respectively referred to as ''Dr. Watson for Windows'' and ''Windows Application Error Debugger''.<br />
*Paint can now save files as other formats besides bitmap, with these including JPEG, GIF, EMF, TIFF and PNG.<br />
*A new wizard mode has been added to [[NTBackup]], acting as the de-facto mode. The previous user interface is now referred to as "Advanced Mode" and can be launched from within the application.<br />
*The MSN Explorer application first seen in [[Windows 9x]] has been backported to this build. It can be found on the desktop or within the start menu.<br />
*The [[System Restore]] utility is now enabled by default.<br />
*The "Show windows contents when dragging" option used for window animations is now on by default.<br />
*New [[bugcheck]] codes have been added:<br />
** <code>SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT</code> (<code>0xEC</code>)<br />
** <code>PREFETCHER_POOL_ERROR_BUGCHECK</code> (<code>0xEE</code>); removed late into development<br />
** <code>UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME</code> (<code>0xED</code>)<br />
<br />
==File differences==<br />

{{:Document:Windows XP build 2410 file differences}}<br />
{{Collapse bottom}}<br />
<br />
==Bugs and quirks==<br />
===Merlin===<br />
If the Lernout & Hauspie TTS Voices are not installed, Merlin will not talk in the OOBE.<br />
<br />
===Theming===<br />
*Changing visual styles will result in rendering glitches on window borders that are open while changing.<br />
*Task Manager contains visual glitches if the [[Watercolor]] and [[Sample Test Visual Style]] visual styles is used.<br />
====Sample Test Visual Style====<br />
*The Blue Lagoon variant shows title bar resources from the Chartreuse Mongoose variant in the theme preview.<br />
*Some applications, such as Solitaire, have rendering problems when this visual style is used.<br />
<br />
===Start Page===<br />
Most of the time if the Start Page is enabled, the Desktop will be inaccessible. If the user does access the Desktop, no icons will be shown.<br />
<br />
===Drivers===<br />
[[w:3dfx Interactive|3dfx]] [[w:Voodoo3|Voodoo3]] graphics adapters do not work and cause a <code>UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP</code> [[bugcheck]] when the system switches to the user mode.<br />
