3:49 I like that brand word just adds the word “ultimate” to it.

I love your videos, Bill. So nostalgic ❤

[@omerarfan]

bro I honestly forgot how much i used to enjoy watching these I legit forgot how much changes windows vista have gone through

[@Ayakala.]

I'd always just wonder about "What if Windows released like this?" with the earlier versions of Aero and design choices that the people working on Windows had going on at the time. I'll never be tired of the development of Windows Vista, it's just such an interesting period for Windows.

[@Sonicrush007]

Personally I would think people would say that it would be Windows XP with a reskin. This build to me looks like Windows XP with a reskin, new control panel, and a new start menu and that's it. Not enough to justify it to end right there. Though I won't pretend as if some may not prefer this.

[@Ayakala.]

@@Sonicrush007 I've always liked the Aero theme, and I was kind of saying more about if they had stopped developing that theme here, but probably made those other changes that make it less "XP-ish." It does have that way too close to XP feel to it and if I had to use this build for like a week, I'd probably not really like how stuff is in all those places during development.

[@murderer2022]

Try using Vista Delta. It's basically Vista SP2, but has alllll the themes in the damn world. XP, vista mods like Windows 2007, 7 build 6801, Vista Beta 1 (the one in the video) and All the beta themes without aero.

[@TheLivingCatastrophe]

I didn't know you still made videos! Boy am i happy to see you again!

[@Sonicrush007]

I did for a month or two, but I gotta go again until December.

I love aero!

Don't we all love it and miss it ?

best you and video

At this stage, Longhorn is quite strange, it is basically Server 2003 but underhood, there are a lot of big changes. In Explorer, we're seeing a lot of changes, but the Server 2003 applets are still there and haven't been removed or changed much. Vista is the last version of Windows with many important changes underhood compared to its predecessor. I'm not sure if there's anything new in Windows 12, or if it's just overlaying XAML components while underhood it's still Vista. August 19, 2024 7:43PM

[@jctotboiofficial]

If you think about it, every windows version is the same, but each one has something new or stuff revamped.

[@redek714]

I have a question what is your favorite windows longhorn/Vista bulid

[@unbreaking_axe]

Can you do Windows Server 2012 Milestone 2 Build 7904?

[@deawpolpichai612]

Windows Longhorn Build 5215 รุ่นนี้ยังคงใช้ Windows XP SP1 ใช่ไหมครับ

[@deawpolpichai612]

รุ่นนี้มันต้องตั้งวันที่ในไบออส วันที่ 7 สิงหาคม 2548 ใช่ไหมครับ Windows Longhorn Build 5215 อันนี้

I got finally VMware running tho is 15.5 bcz the latest Version thinks that I don't have internet but I have

[@TheOldDogeTheodoro]

I know that you are no longer active but in the next videos can you put the requirements for these builds?

[@Sonicrush007]

I always put how I got these to run in the description, just never in the video exactly for time's sake.

[@TheOldDogeTheodoro]

@@Sonicrush007 Ok, thank you :)

[@gengar-1997]

how did i make it here so early

[@CubePac9]

3:41 uhh Areo, a bit laggy...

[@Sonicrush007]

May be the fault of nested virtualization. It's literally VMware Workstation 17.5.2 on a Windows 11 host running Windows 7 Professional that is running VMware Workstation Pro 11 (with the guest OS underneath). Decreased performance is expected. To solve this issue, I am looking into dual booting Ubuntu (which I have been doing for a month or so) and doing virtualization under KVM-QEMU and doing a GPU passthrough to improve the performance of nested virtualization.

[@MinusNC]

how many builds are there in total? I mean every official build.

[@oosha2000]

It's difficult to exactly estimate since there are a countless

[@Not_Sandor]

I still don't understand why they didn't finish this build and release it as Vista. They made it just worse

[@MarketUpdate-TVB]

But how about windows 95 build 225, which is Chinese beta. Do you want to try it? I put it in the request, I just persuade you.

[@OrimaJam]

Is this the first build to be the ultimate edition?

[@Sonicrush007]

From what I see on BetaWiki, 5212 was the first to have an Ultimate Edition (where XP Home split into Home Basic and Home Premium (there's even a Starter edition of this build) and Professional split into Professional, Professional Enterprise, and Ultimate). This is the first build to include the edition on the branding (like what you see on Winver)

[@westonburger2546]

When’s you next video?

[@Sonicrush007]

None for a while as I have to focus on College. May potentially not have a video up until December.

[@westonburger2546]

@@Sonicrush007 probs should add a disclaimer as Ik people will be wondering where you went

[@Sonicrush007]

@@westonburger2546 They certainly will be, but often people don't read the description to see when a video is uploaded or pay attention to see when a comment is posted (I get plenty of comments that assume a video I uploaded years ago was recent) so I can see some problems with that. And I was gone for a year previously without explanation and not many problems have resulted from that.

Why you don't do build requests by comments? Such a blackmailing.

[@Sonicrush007]

Blackmailing??? I don't think that means what you think it means. The reasoning why I don't do it by comment is because I have a build request website for people to put requests in and to choose randomly so I don't have to keep track of requests due to having them in multiple places and then dealing with forgetting to manually add someone's request to a list and I also only have so much time to do these videos. The only way I can do them is do them randomly. I also cannot simply do them in order because the most recent probably wouldn't get covered for 20 years as I have so many requests. My system I have in place is by no means perfect, but it's the only way it's doable with such little available time. Putting your request in yourself isn't too much to ask for. Your data isn't being exposed to the public as there is an option to be anonymous with your request. We just ask you use an email and verify that the email address is legitimate. It's really a simple process.

[@Aleksandra0056]

@@Sonicrush007 Sorry, I didn't want to insult you. I had bad mood yesterday. I only dislike request systems because I had bad experience with reluctance from some gaming blog website in past. But your request system is good I think.
