The History of Windows Vista - Episode Two

[@cm603]

Hey, this is good but lemme add 1 more thing: requirements. PCs that had "Vista Capable" stickers meant that, while yes, they can run Vista, they can only run the Home Basic version of Vista only. This led to a class action lawsuit over these little stickers causing not just confusion about why full fledged Windows Vista won't run as smooth but also creating artificial demand and prices rose on machines that can't run Vista as intended.

Oh trust me, I've got more to say on Vista itself in the future. I was just focusing on the post-reset builds and very quickly skimming over the release itself, but I'll be making another video on Vista's infamous release some day... But thanks for your feedback!

[@SmiIeyyXD]

This channel is amazing! Keep making history on Windows versions!

[@SolarstrikeVG]

New version soon, hopefully!

[@MrQuinnzard]

it was so unstable that they cut longhorn itself

[@peter_filip]

I'm a fan of Longhorn's development, so sad that they have to scrap everyting :(

[@SolarstrikeVG]

It really is a shame, as I've really come to appreciate the pre-reset's aesthetic (especially 4074).

[@peter_filip]

@@SolarstrikeVG 4074 was an amazing build, the aero theme was so good, even better then the aero that came with vista. But a simillar 4074 aero was introduced in Windows 7. But with different elements of course! And also sorry for my bad english, i'm romanian シ︎

[@SolarstrikeVG]

@@peter_filip No worries, my friend! And yeah, I guess I can see the similarities in retrospect.

@@jitroglennwcmandagi One of my streams actually did something like that, where I showcased upgrading through a lot of the betas live, lol

@@SolarstrikeVG ah...

[@minogamesfan9203]

Are you using a virtual machine to emulate the builds of Windows Vista?

[@SolarstrikeVG]

I was, yes. I don't have much access to real hardware atm.

[@minogamesfan9203]

@@SolarstrikeVG what about an extended kernel for Windows Vista?

[@SolarstrikeVG]

@@minogamesfan9203 I have no idea if that is a thing!

[@minogamesfan9203]
