I Tried Using UNRELEASED VERSIONS OF WINDOWS!!!

[@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

[@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

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

My Brain thinks when you say Windows Vista at first my Brain Thinks wait but Vista is Released.

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.

If you take requests could you make a part 2 and try “NT 5.0 codename of 2000” “Memphis Codename of 98” “Chicago Codename of 95” “Neptune yep Neptune has a official build” also you should pick these build NT 5.0 Build 1877 Memphis Build 1511 (change the bios date to February 19 1996) Neptune Build 5111 (there was only one build) And Chicago Build 0.99 (change date to April 5 1994) Also sorry for long comment lmao

[@AustralianEditzCountryball]

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

[@DenielCZ]

Oohe what he hell😂 4:04

[@Pawlo370]

from where you get that builds?

[@gl1tchy_yt]

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.
