slight correction, windows 10 was gonna be the last "major" version of windows.

[@ThatLinuxDude]

Fun Windows 8 fact: AERO was literally in Windows 8's public ''''Release Candidate'''' builds... being a fairly last-minute removal.

[@khoangothuy4832]

also, windows 9 is Windows 10 Techcinal preview build 9780

[@infosponge6921]

It was removed because the Surface RT couldn't handle it

[@ThatLinuxDude]

@@infosponge6921AERO literally existing in Windows RT: bet. They should've just forced AERO Lite's behaviour on RT.

[@AKASH_TN]

aero exists in 8 but its just not transparent (expect for the taskbar) thats why its called aero lite

[@Make_Satish_Bolla_A_FAN_Agian]

Aero is in Windows 8 but it is Metro Ui

[@ShaneSimpkin]

Windows development when it used to be codename systems instead of continuous updates is really fun. Also longhorn had a really interesting dev process, mainly due to the bugs that came from that development. When they did the reset they used the Server 2003 code as a base instead of XP

[@jukfiuutech]

The last build (Windows 10) was never called Windows 9. Its just the guy that posted the iso that named it like that

[@Thebestprofileintheworld]

Ok

[@AlexDaDermahurr]

True

Longhorn was probably one of my favorite betas, despite it being buggy it is beautiful and I wish the design scheme was still around to this day.

[@bagasangga]

Hey wheres my comment bruh??? It doesn't matter, That "unreleased" Windows version you install is actually Beta release of that said Version. Betawiki is a good source if you want to know about prerelease version of OSes. (I would like to know that you have to set the VMware hardware compatibility to the older version of it to getting of these Beta OSes work.)

Windows 8.1 is probably windows 9

[@JasonRupin]

Yea

[@Likenow1245]

It is

[@BMOKincaid]

Windows 9 probably refined Windows 8, with the Start Menu backported from early Windows 10 Technical Preview releases. Too bad they released that update for Windows 8.1 RT, not for regular Windows 8.1.

Good vid, also thx for making one of my fav KZbinrs Michael MJD mentioned, his vids are entertaining

[@edwardcapuyan0611_user-pc]

Windows 7 used to be Blackcomb, but Microsoft scrapped it because of Windows Longhorn, as more and more features got ported into it.

[@edwardcapuyan0611_user-pc]

In addition to this, Blackcomb was later replaced with Vienna, but it also got reset in 2007. The codename of Windows 7 is just the name itself, according to Build 6469, the earliest leaked build of Windows 7, which said the codename "Windows 7." Windows Longhorn also got reset because of instability messes. Starting with build 5001, everything was (almost) the same as Windows XP, until build 5048 where things significantly changed.

[@Thecutecyanbird]

That's gonna be great! 😊

The name was just "Windows Technical Preview" as they did not decide the name yet

[@Kiki79250CoC]

Blackcomb was actually cancelled, so saying Blackcomb is Windows 7 is a big misconception. Officially Windows 7's codename is... Windows 7 (In reference of Vista Kernel number (6) + 1).

Microsoft skipped Windows 9 because of the Windows 9x (95 and 98) lineup.

Windows 10 does have some aspects off aero, as in the transparency, This actually can be seen the most in the settings app.

[@shrobbyy]

I really like these beta builds of Windows. Great video, I just think you could have explored the builds a little more in depth instead of just giving a brief insight

[@WindowsSurfaceOffcal]

If you tried Longhorn Build 5219 in vmware workstation 10 by installing proper drivers and doing a registry edit you can enable aero it's not perfect but it get's the job done you shouldn't have picked build 5219 that's a very unstable build

Do not share this with anyone pls

[@jhonwask]

Most of the problems with Windows releases and installation were the drivers, and Microsoft doesn't write drivers; the hardware manufacturers do. I really liked Vista when everyone finally had it together. The layout and look were easy on the eye and easy to navigate as well.

Instead of longhorn build 4051 you should have tried build 4074, but there were with newer more simmilar to aero design and with more simmilar to build 4051 but even tho you could have the older 4074 build it will be more stable and you could be able to look at the leaves wallpaper and some other cool things.

Windows Whistler and Longhorn was released already

[@lemonadesnake]

5:37 Windows Vista was released in December 2006

[@GL1TCHMUS1C]

Uhm I think you got confused with Windows Blackcomb. Blackcomb was in development in 2000 and was supposed to release around mid-2002 and it was to release a few months after XP. It is technically XP’s sister and there was also a version for home,business,pro and a server version but Longhorn had messed up development causing Blackcomb to go wrong way in development and it faced so many challenges all because of Vista’s development. In 2006 it got renamed to Vienna and it was a minor update to Vista although in 2007 it was cancelled and eventually turned into Windows 7, so many people had got mixed up but Windows 7 was just Windows 7 as always. I even thought it back then when I joined the Windows community so it’s ok it’s no one’s fault😂. Also could you please try these builds for me: Neptune build 5111, Windows 11 build 26063, Windows 2000 build 2000.3, XP build 2428 or 2463 and lastly Windows Server 2008 build 5757.

Windows 7 full release Aero Glass was peak windows, IDGAF. XP was great but aged poorly aesthetically speaking (it definitely looks like an early 2000s product) and op top of that, no common/super viable 64 bit version. I would deadass use 7 today if it got security updates, program compatibility, and had the same game performance as 10. No clusterfuck mix of UX designs, no spyware, easily removed bloatware. It was perfect. If there's a win7 skin for Linux, that's what I'll be switching to when win10 bricks itself in a couple years or whatever. With the win98 startup and shutdown sounds and the winXP error sound.
