Windows Vista Build 5270 - Unreleased Vista! (+ Aero)

Welcome all! In today's video, we'll be installing and taking a look at a Windows Vista Beta - build 5270! This build was released to testers for the December 2005 Community Technology Preview and introduces many features and applications!
Thanks to my good friend Spinguy for the suggestion!
This video in particular took ages to make - a sub would be appreciated!

Would honestly love to see people making a usable version of this version of vista beta, it looked so good imo

[@PCWindowstechguy]

I kinda find it weird how many of the post reset builds of Vista after 5231 look very similar to Vista, but at the same time not! Stuff like the taskbar and the start menu are almost identical to the Vista ones, but there are also stuff like UAC and login scren are very different from the final ones! Also weird is the sudden shift from keeping some of the old Longhorn designs till 5231 and then from the still unleaked build 5252 completely changing the main design! Anyways great video!

[@herodoesstuff]

so cool to see the icons, small details, and even gradients that didn't make it past the beta, i've never seen them! i kinda like the icons in the color scheme settings. cool video!!

[@MSNeptuned]

@@herodoesstuff tysm! Yeah, this build has pretty neat icons and gradients! some things actually feel more complete than rtm vista…

[@TechnoMinded-qp5in]

If Microsoft made Windows 12 similar to Windows Vista it would completely kill the competition someone needs to petition Microsoft to bring back Aero Effects that was more futuristic now everything sucks and is stale light and dark mode.

[@IndigoVoltage]

In my honest opinion, glass isn't very futuristic, neither is Aero entirely But they could try modifying a little bit the interface so it doesn't look so flat too

Incredible vídeo! Maybe in KZbin there are not so many videos about the Beta 2 of Windows Vista... Greetings from Venezuela!

[@MSNeptuned]

@@_zonatec Thanks so much! I’m planning on making more videos on Betas so that will include some post-reset ones from a similar time to this one!

[@MonthRadio]

Interesting, also for some reason you decided to put your intro background as the 7 media center

[@MSNeptuned]

@@MonthRadio thanks! I chose the media center sound because uh.. I kinda like it :P

[@MonthRadio]

@@MSNeptuned well. As someone who used win 7 I have to say media center was great

[@novatiberium]

Should Microsoft revive Windows Vista?

[@MSNeptuned]

They should. That gave me an idea - I’ll consider making a Windows 10 mod that reverts all changes to that of Longhorn 4074!

[@TechnoMinded-qp5in]

Lite and dark mode SUCKS I agree bring back the Vista interface nobody wants this nothing is MODERN about stale mate light and dark mode!!!!

[@spinguy1429]

FUCK YEAH reviving vista is the best idea

[@MSNeptuned]
