A lifetime ago, my wife bought a computer with Windows ME and 1/2 GB of this reeeealy expensive RD-RAM. So I divorced her. She tried to make it right by upgrading to Win XP, but the thrill was gone.
That's when one's wife crashes your 19" CRT monitor over your head. Lots of "red screen." Of course, one's wife would have to be very strong to perform such a maneuver. Maybe a truck driver.
If I'm not mistaken, those sounds were never officially used, nor were they made by microsoft. Nobody knows the origin of those sounds or how they eventually got associated with Longhorn in the first place. As far as I know, every single one of the known builds that got leaked all used regular XP sounds.

It is. Microsoft assigns (assigned?) codenames to each version of Windows. Longhorn was the codename for the next version of Windows at the time and over the course of the beta test morphed more and more into Vista. Pulled more and more features that were announced or teased as they got closer to the initial Vista release.
Yeah of course you did... no you didn't. Longhorn was a clusterfuck because Microsoft went into full feature feature feature mode instead of focusing on making it actually stable.
Funny thing, I found my really old pc in my basement, and decided to check if it still works, and it did. And I was even more surprised to see it booting into one of those longhorn dev builds. No idea how or why I installed it back when I was like 12 yo, but I did. Good times.
Correct. And, the final codename for XP was Whistler. Oddessey and Neptune combined into Whistler. Longhorn was the very early name for XP; which again later became Whistler. They decided to use Longhorn again for Windows Vista.
Can we take a moment to realize that the sounds that were in Longhorn were amazing. It sounded almost heavenly, especially the startup, shutdown, logon, and log off.
Those are fake. It actually used xp sounds in early builds.. Later builds of longhorn used what would become windows vista - 10 sounds And yes, you can enable startup and shutdown sounds in Windows 10. It just isn’t enabled by default, but I’ve tried it before and it’s possible to enable it. You can even change the sounds with custom files.
@@insanitylol Can you tell me how to enable the sounds? In particular the shut down sound And if the longhorn sounds are truly fake, then how come people are remembering them like they were a part of the OS?
Longhorn IS Vista! Longhorn was in development for some years, but they scraped it and build it on NT base instead of XP like they did before. With that the development time was doubled.
Longhorn before the reset was based on ".NET" Server 2003 Release candidate (not even the final version of Server 2003), while after the reset, it was based on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Release candidate. Both are obviously powered by the Windows NT kernel
window me turned out to be actually an ok os at the tailend of its lifespan after all of the patch fixes, but most people by then were already on xp to notice the difference. as much crap that windows me gets, it did come with one important feature that every windows has came with after it and that feature is system restorer.
You forgot to mention the train wreck that was Windows ME, released between 2000 and XP. It was so bad, so buggy and so hated by customers, that 18 months after it's release they pulled it from store shelves, stopped shipping it with new PCs, stopped all support for it and literally buried it. Microsoft now acts like it never happened lol.
Windows 2000 was a workstation OS, never intended for use on private computers. Windows Me was the version for home computers. And Me was shipped until the release of XP.
I was in the industry from back before Win95 even launched. Rumors about Longhorn were echoing through the industry before Win98 was even released. As for launch parties, the Win95 launch (at Midnight) was really wild. Microsoft used to send me the new software (for free) ahead of the release. Win95 was shipped on 13 or 14 floppies. Fun times.
Windows XP its not fake... *biggest facepalm ever* Shorthorn is actually the codename of an unofficial project made to backport Longhorn and Vista+ programs and compatibility to Windows XP and Server 2003.

Vista RTM was compiled on 1 November 2006 at 22:05 (10:05pm), as reported by the full build number (6.0.6000.16386.vista_rtm.061101-2205). Despite this, it only became generally available on 30 January 2007.
I heard of Longhorn way back in 2002. The main problem with Longhorn was that it tried to do to much and the UI was to resources intensive for the hardware of the time. For example, it was supposed to support multi touch touch screens allowing for several peoples to manipulate things on the screen at the same time on a coffee table styled monitor setup. The manipulations that I saw where : move, rotate and resize of images and whole windows from applications, by FOUR peoples at the same time.
I'm one of few. I LOVE Windows Vista. I still use it for fun because I love it so much. The Aero design, Purble Place, the outdated network options: all of it. I really just love using the weird, forgotten Windows that I remember so fondly from my childhood. Also, the basic Vista backgrounds are gorgeous. I honestly almost bought a pair of socks with them on it.
@@skedyt I know. I only use it as a novelty. I have only used the internet on it once, as well. I normally use Windows 10, so there's no need to worry. :) (Also, now that I look back at this comment, I see that it's pretty weird. :/ )
I got Windows 7 with an Action Pack Subscription. I still have most of that software on Discs. When I renewed my subscription, they had started charging $100 more for the discs and everything was available through a download site. I renewed one more time right before Windows 8 came out, but only got the Windows 8 demo and it screwed up my netbook hdd. After that, I found better ways to spend $300 a year. :) It is a great way to help you stay current with new versions of software if you work in Help Desk. I got to play around with Communications Server and some other goodies.
Windows Longhorn was the pre-release codename for Windows Vista and was the successor to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (built from NT 5.2 codebase). Development on the OS started in May 2001 and went through two unique development cycles separated by a development reset in 2004. ( I was so much surprised how this guy fakes everything)
I installed Longhorn once in the time when everyone used XP and actually thought it's a skin, and never even thought it's developed by Microsoft. I genuinely thought it's some random dude's work, with some nice tricks but that's it.I used xp up until 7 released. And still there are not many drawbacks to use 7 even at this date. Only DX12 is what 7 lacks.
the movable taskbar feature returned in windows 10. but it's different on how you do it. it's usable in settings application>personalization>taskbar and then you'll see the option "Taskbar location on screen." and you can change it from bottom to: top, left, or right.
I also beta tested Longhorn. It is NOT Vista. Longhorn was scrapped and approximately 5% of the assets were recycled and used in Vista, an entirely different infrastructure and OS. There were dark builds of Longhorn that not many got use, which included an interesting metadata file system that was overlayed on top of a regular file system, most of you knew this as WinFS (not a real file system, again, just a metadata overlay). This was useful in a new type of explorer that was being developed (and never came into fruition). We were gonna get a LOT of eye candy including true and absolute vector graphics desktop (mildly implemented in later versions of windows, but not to the extent that Longhorn was planning). WindowFX, not the 3rd party toy that we eventually got in Vista, but one that was native and developed by MS itself was also part of the eye candy. This included windows that contorted or stretched when shaken while holding the mouse down on them. You could also flip the window over to write notes down (something demonstrated by Sun Microsystems' own Project Looking Glass). This was an OS to behold, but I think consumer hardware simply couldn't handle most of this. Most of us were still using Radeon 9500s well into 2003, you just didn't have a real reason to upgrade since most games at the time ran fine on a Radeon 9200 even. These weren't powerful enough to run the fancy graphics.
There are a bunch of Vista\Longhorn features that where only in Vista that I would have liked to see in 7 and 10, je side bar, the optional UI animations and stuff.
I got a free copy on Windows Vista Ultimate, a few days before it launched. I beta tested Vista sense it started, and a lot of the feedback I gave ended up in the final product. I wish more would have made it in. But it is what it is. I still love Vista, to me Vista is still the best looking version of Windows.
@@WeegeepieYT I was beta testing Lonhorn/Vista sense the first pubic beta was released in 2003 and I beta tested every release. I ran all the Betas on a Pentium 3 thinkpad, not my main system. But I looked at all the details and said, look can you fix this? This is crashing here. This is happening. What's going on here? A lot of my feedback made into the final product. Microsoft as a token of their appreciation, gave me a registered copy of Vista Ultimate for free.
I was 9 years old when my dad, a Microsoft employee, got Longhorn. I don't remember what version of it he had, but it was the same year he got his truck, 2004. From what I remember using that version of Longhorn vs when we upgraded the family OS to Vista, it seemed the opposite. Longhorn seemed like the refined version of Vista. The simplicity of XP, the tech of Vista, and not half as many of the problems of Vista.
I liked Windows 7 . I got gifted a computer with it on. One thing I liked was that if Window 7 got corrupt you could get a DVD to do a complete wipe and reload. I noticed in Windows 10 that we lost the libraries.
*Windows Longhorn* Release date - Nov 7, 2003 Windows Longhorn was a scrapped version originally of Vista, the version similar to Win7. Originally, the layout was similar to XP, the version before Vista. Project Scrapped - Jan 4, 2005 Builds created from _Windows Longhorn_ (including scrapped updates) - 24 Users of _Windows Longhorn_ - 17 (unpopular)
Love your videos. Apart from being informative etc. the best thing is the way you get right down to the matter in hand and continue thru the vid at a steady but comfortable pace. I can't stand those TH-camrs who waffle on endlessly about crap you don't want or need to know about before even starting on what the vid is really about. Thanks.
Back in the day when I bought a laptop with Windows 8 on it, I just reformatted the hard drive and put Ubuntu on. Cause I just thought Windows 8 was unusable. I think every release after XP till Windows 10 was terrible, 10 is a good and stable operating system, but if they would also have versions of Adobe software for Linux I wouldn't need Windows at all.
Windows Longhorn and Vista were both ahead of their time. They both ran like crap on standard PCs of the time, but I got to try Vista on a PC running 12GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 260 and an i7-940 in 2008 and it ran like an absolute dream and blew me away. Trying to use it on office computers with no graphics card, a pentium 4 and 4GB of DDR RAM result in it running like shit though.
Longhorn just a codename for win vista . because longhorn beginning project in 2004 . and longhorn has scrapped they replace windows vista beta it really soon become windows vista 2006 i think! it just couple of test operating system
Thank you for your explanation. I don't get why people keep whining about Windows Longhorn being fake especially the soundtracks blah blah blah in addition to much negativity. Let's mention it briefly, Whether Windows Longhorn was beta version of vista or not, it was a codename for vista and it was supposed to come out but they couldn't release it for some reasons, so they had to reset and make windows vista with new gadgets and appearance. The soundtracks were released as placeholders but they got scrapped and replaced with other sound effects. In the end, stop saying that windows Longhorn is fake. It's real even if it's unreleased only it's forgotten. btw you can launch it on virtual machine and can we all agree that the soundtracks are nostalgic ?
@@the_realpalsnotfakebacon6170 I know I'd rather forget windows 8.1 too, to be fair. Just any version of windows 8 is better forgotten. Not sure about NT 5.0 though, I've never used it.
I actually used a few Longhorn builds and it was like Windows 9 with the clock being shown. I remember seeing a video where seeing a Windows OS like Windows 10 showing stuff Longhorn had and it was called Windows 9.
ahmed ibrahim So did I, but I remembered it wrong - I thought Longhorn was just the _code name_ used for Vista when the o.s. was still in its first phases of development (and that it changed to something else when development moved forward). :p
Longhorn was just the code-name for Vista in it's development. Here's a shortlist of most famous Windows abortions : Win 98 (fixed by issuing Win 98 2nd Edition). Win ME (HUGE mess). Win Vista (quickly fixed by decent Win 7). Win 8 (fixed by Win 8 2nd Edition Release 2). Windows 10 (ultimate spy machine). The best Windows editions, at their time : Win 95. Win XP & SP 3. Win 7. Microsoft did make some excellent OS. In fact, they could've stuck with either XP or 7 and just continue to develop either to infinity. But no ..... they had to f... it up.

When I renewed my subscription, they had started charging $100 more for the discs and everything was available through a download site. I renewed one more time right before Windows 8 came out, but only got the Windows 8 demo and it screwed up my netbook hdd. After that, I found better ways to spend $300 a year. :) It is a great way to help you stay current with new versions of software if you work in Help Desk. I got to play around with Communications Server and some other goodies.
Windows Longhorn was the pre-release codename for Windows Vista and was the successor to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (built from NT 5.2 codebase). Development on the OS started in May 2001 and went through two unique development cycles separated by a development reset in 2004.
( I was so much surprised how this guy fakes everything)
Beetween Windows XP and Windows Vista is Windows Longhorn! But Longhorn is Vista!
I installed Longhorn once in the time when everyone used XP and actually thought it's a skin, and never even thought it's developed by Microsoft. I genuinely thought it's some random dude's work, with some nice tricks but that's it.I used xp up until 7 released. And still there are not many drawbacks to use 7 even at this date. Only DX12 is what 7 lacks.
Yes, exactly Longhorn was tha first Windows where they used "Aero" i love it till today :3 (i´m using Win 7 :D Win 10 is crap for me)
Same
it had it in indev
Windows 10 is not crap just for you. It's the truth
You can install some mods On windows 10 to look like 7
the movable taskbar feature returned in windows 10. but it's different on how you do it. it's usable in settings application>personalization>taskbar and then you'll see the option "Taskbar location on screen." and you can change it from bottom to: top, left, or right.
I also beta tested Longhorn. It is NOT Vista. Longhorn was scrapped and approximately 5% of the assets were recycled and used in Vista, an entirely different infrastructure and OS. There were dark builds of Longhorn that not many got use, which included an interesting metadata file system that was overlayed on top of a regular file system, most of you knew this as WinFS (not a real file system, again, just a metadata overlay). This was useful in a new type of explorer that was being developed (and never came into fruition). We were gonna get a LOT of eye candy including true and absolute vector graphics desktop (mildly implemented in later versions of windows, but not to the extent that Longhorn was planning). WindowFX, not the 3rd party toy that we eventually got in Vista, but one that was native and developed by MS itself was also part of the eye candy. This included windows that contorted or stretched when shaken while holding the mouse down on them. You could also flip the window over to write notes down (something demonstrated by Sun Microsystems' own Project Looking Glass). This was an OS to behold, but I think consumer hardware simply couldn't handle most of this. Most of us were still using Radeon 9500s well into 2003, you just didn't have a real reason to upgrade since most games at the time ran fine on a Radeon 9200 even. These weren't powerful enough to run the fancy graphics.
There are a bunch of Vista\Longhorn features that where only in Vista that I would have liked to see in 7 and 10, je side bar, the optional UI animations and stuff.
I got a free copy on Windows Vista Ultimate, a few days before it launched. I beta tested Vista sense it started, and a lot of the feedback I gave ended up in the final product. I wish more would have made it in. But it is what it is. I still love Vista, to me Vista is still the best looking version of Windows.
omg what feedback did you give?
@@WeegeepieYT I was beta testing Lonhorn/Vista sense the first pubic beta was released in 2003 and I beta tested every release. I ran all the Betas on a Pentium 3 thinkpad, not my main system. But I looked at all the details and said, look can you fix this? This is crashing here. This is happening. What's going on here? A lot of my feedback made into the final product. Microsoft as a token of their appreciation, gave me a registered copy of Vista Ultimate for free.
I was 9 years old when my dad, a Microsoft employee, got Longhorn. I don't remember what version of it he had, but it was the same year he got his truck, 2004. From what I remember using that version of Longhorn vs when we upgraded the family OS to Vista, it seemed the opposite. Longhorn seemed like the refined version of Vista. The simplicity of XP, the tech of Vista, and not half as many of the problems of Vista.
But what were the shutdown/startup sounds?
I liked Windows 7 . I got gifted a computer with it on. One thing I liked was that if Window 7 got corrupt you could get a DVD to do a complete wipe and reload. I noticed in Windows 10 that we lost the libraries.
Now running Windows 11, I miss Windows 7
my favorite feature of vista is blue screening when I try to launch solitaire!
@werter from roblox solitaire is fun

There is too many servers and also they not counting servers:)

@Toronto Millennium Edition is basically the crappier home version of 2000.
Fun fact: the startup of windows longhorn is a cow mooing! 🐮💻
with very edited sound
nah, it used the windows xp startup sound iirc
No it had a woman chorus
Or something like that idk but the original was actually the cow mooing

*Windows Longhorn*
Release date - Nov 7, 2003
Windows Longhorn was a scrapped version originally of Vista, the version similar to Win7. Originally, the layout was similar to XP, the version before Vista.
Project Scrapped - Jan 4, 2005
Builds created from _Windows Longhorn_ (including scrapped updates) - 24

Love your videos. Apart from being informative etc. the best thing is the way you get right down to the matter in hand and continue thru the vid at a steady but comfortable pace. I can't stand those TH-camrs who waffle on endlessly about crap you don't want or need to know about before even starting on what the vid is really about. Thanks.
Back in the day when I bought a laptop with Windows 8 on it, I just reformatted the hard drive and put Ubuntu on. Cause I just thought Windows 8 was unusable. I think every release after XP till Windows 10 was terrible, 10 is a good and stable operating system, but if they would also have versions of Adobe software for Linux I wouldn't need Windows at all.
You missed out Windows Me.
I’ve heard of windows longhorn
It’s actually my fav pc even though it wasn’t released
Windows Longhorn and Vista were both ahead of their time. They both ran like crap on standard PCs of the time, but I got to try Vista on a PC running 12GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 260 and an i7-940 in 2008 and it ran like an absolute dream and blew me away. Trying to use it on office computers with no graphics card, a pentium 4 and 4GB of DDR RAM result in it running like shit though.
We wouldn't miss out on the operating system it'sself, but we are missing out on the sounds that came from it.
I've heard of it, there were also several betas of windows with codenames
I was a longhorn insider during the time
me too
A cucumber that posts family guy vids oh really
Longhorn just a codename for win vista . because longhorn beginning project in 2004 . and longhorn has scrapped they replace windows vista beta it really
soon become windows vista 2006 i think! it just couple of test operating system
If making grammar mistakes was a job, you'd be a millionaire (no hate tho)
What happened to Windows Server 2003? it was made a year earlier than longhorn..
Thank you for your explanation. I don't get why people keep whining about Windows Longhorn being fake especially the soundtracks blah blah blah in addition to much negativity.
Let's mention it briefly,
Whether Windows Longhorn was beta version of vista or not, it was a codename for vista and it was supposed to come out but they couldn't release it for some reasons, so they had to reset and make windows vista with new gadgets and appearance. The soundtracks were released as placeholders but they got scrapped and replaced with other sound effects.
In the end, stop saying that windows Longhorn is fake. It's real even if it's unreleased only it's forgotten. btw you can launch it on virtual machine and can we all agree that the soundtracks are nostalgic ?
Whenever i hear the word: "longhorn" i think it is like a scary horror word or something 😂
it's a mountain resort, a fun area
Yeah it kinda sounds like a devil...:-[
nah it sounds like some hillbilly shit
Lol.
The name “longhorn” makes it sound gamery
You forgot Windows CE
And Me :)
..and NT!
Windows CE, ME, NT.. CEMENT!

I've heard of it.
Maybe he's *trying* to to forget Windows ME.
Do I get points for my (non)-original comment?
he also forgot Windows 8.1 and NT 5.0
@@the_realpalsnotfakebacon6170 I know I'd rather forget windows 8.1 too, to be fair. Just any version of windows 8 is better forgotten. Not sure about NT 5.0 though, I've never used it.

I actually used a few Longhorn builds and it was like Windows 9 with the clock being shown. I remember seeing a video where seeing a Windows OS like Windows 10 showing stuff Longhorn had and it was called Windows 9.
People: Where is the new Windows Longhorn?
Windows Longhorn: U- uh- uhm, I'm too shy!

So Longhorn was the code name for Vista before it was released. I thought everyone knew that but he apparently missed the memo.
Windows Longhorn is basically Windows Vista, Longhorn is the codename of Vista.
Wow!.
The design team of longhorn seems to be in charge of windows10 UI as well carrying on the inconsistency of it.
microsoft should release a reboot or remastered version of windows longhorn as a sort of special version of windows 11/10
I use the sounds from it on Windows 10. Cause it sounds pretty cool
Epicvids (Ketti08) sounds from longhorn are fake(fan made)
Maniac Huh, I still remember those sounds being a thing back when I still had Vista beta. 🤔
*windows shorthorn has left the chat...*
I downloaded longhorn on my old XP pc (my first one) i also swapped the hard drive too and it runs more smooth than xp
Your funny
Since BlackComb and Whistler were code names, what if Longhorn is just the codename for Vista?
@@ThatRandomToast Ah, well, the title and content of the video suggests that "Longhorn" was its own thing.
A big thanks to windows longhorn for helping xp and windows vista for helping windows 7
Longhorn wasnt OS just codename for early development stage of windows vista
I did
Spiritpoweredinternet , i mean i have 😁🙄
ahmed ibrahim So did I, but I remembered it wrong - I thought Longhorn was just the _code name_ used for Vista when the o.s. was still in its first phases of development (and that it changed to something else when development moved forward). :p
yes
LucienSabre , i used to see the phrase windows xp longhorn !! Lol
Your video made my computer unstable!!!

I do it what he said and my PC become unstable. Then I need to reset my PC ..
Download some RAM bro,yes?
tansin rahman not his problem you must have a bad computer then
@@BatMan-ke4ov ya can't download ram oh my fucking god
Longhorn was just the code-name for Vista in it's development. Here's a shortlist of most famous Windows abortions :
Win 98 (fixed by issuing Win 98 2nd Edition). Win ME (HUGE mess). Win Vista (quickly fixed by decent Win 7). Win 8 (fixed by Win 8 2nd Edition Release 2). Windows 10 (ultimate spy machine).
The best Windows editions, at their time :
Win 95. Win XP & SP 3. Win 7. Microsoft did make some excellent OS. In fact, they could've stuck with either XP or 7 and just continue to develop either to infinity. But no ..... they had to f... it up.
Windows Longhorn like ME
You never heard about it
