Regarding the “componentized” build vs “noncomponentized“ build thing: during LH development, Microsoft decided to split the os into different components (kinda the predecessor sorta to the dism model and “turn windows features on or off”) where different editions consist of different components and one can build on the other. Most longhorn builds weren’t componentized until the 408x era so you can only really upgrade to a 408x or 409x build from a 408x build that was componentized. 4074 and earlier all were so called “inf” builds aka not componentized
One thing I just really like about pre-windows 8 operation system is that they would provide a progress bar during the installation progress, not just the "forever spinning circle". The progress bar really tells me the % done of the process.
I don’t know if it’s pointed out yet, but a little known fact is that Windows Longhorn can actually help you install a little known software that’s called: System board.
Well.. recently on my 2001 Athlon XP build, I found out that if you don't install your motherboard drivers, your AGP video card would set itself back to AGP0x speed, despite supporting AGP8x. After installing mobo drivers.. let's say I was surprised TrackMania Nations ran on my Radeon 9550 at 60fps instead of 10fps on the same settings :'D Old PCs are whack.
@@extremegrief1525 I mean, yeah :'D But I was so used to Windows 10 supplying all the drivers for me, that I would have never thought that, at least in an old PC, you'd have to install other drivers than those for GPU, sound card, RAID and that one proprietary thing xD
The later m7 builds introduced componentisation, which basically made the windows codebase a lot more modular. Almost every large feature or program was separated from the main OS. This was done to allow Microsoft to more easily create different SKUs of Windows, like Home, Professional, etc. I'm assuming that since Vista and 7 had so many versions, that they later did this again post-reset, but that's why you can't upgrade from 4042 to 4093 or 4086. The entire structure of Windows was significantly changed. This is, in fact, why 4093 has so few programs in it: they've all been stripped out and separated into components that aren't included in the base OS.
The reason those “found new hardware” wizards are popping up is because while they’re signed the signature has expired when comparing system time to certificate validity
"And today, we're gonna upgrade through all pre-reset builds of Longhorn on an SSD. And yes, I've prepared a Maxtor SSD for it, but if it fails, then I have the Bigfoot around, at least that hard drive works."
Apparently the "pig latin" build string at 21:38 was done for testing purposes and not as a joke, they had to test new code that would change the OS's name in every place it appears; if the OS's name didn't change, something was wrong. This also exists in a few other builds as far as I know
Just wanted to say Michael that I think your doing a fenomenal job with these vids, I just Love theme, not only for the entertainment, but they are very educational and a beautiful trip down memory lane in the name of computer science ! Thanks again and keep up the good vids !
I would love to see the post reset builds. Ive always been a fan of windows in general. ive had the most experience on win7 and later. i actually remember when they first introduce win 8 i was using the preview for at least a year before they released it. it kinda cool learning the development process from when i was younger.
I actually quite enjoy your off topic ramblings to be honest, they provide a nice break(really for the lack of a better word) from the rest of the video. Also I'd enjoy watching this for Post-reset builds.
16:40 back in the day when 4008 4015 4051 4053 where relevent I ran them as my daily system on probably what I had amd 754 and 939 asrock board with ether the nvidia 5070 or 6080 or ati 9600pro x850xt and for it to run stable I installed all those drivers with continue anyway. don't skip any of them even though systemboard comes up multiple times they're all different, continue anyway for all of them. I remember i managed to get them all to install and device manager had no yellow marks or missing components compared to my friends system at the time, he had a different system from the time, But i remember he said he said cancel to alot of the components when the same thing kept popping up even though he said continue anyway for most of the first things that popped up. Install them all.
Gonna be honest, I love your content. Your voice is also great, however, when studying/working, as background noise. You're a very nice person and not screaming or anything so it helps make it less sad. I rate offtopic ramblings 11/10 cant wait for motorola!
omg yes yes yes yes thank you so much this is the kind of content I need in quarantine, 40+ minutes, druaga1 experiment style. Thanks for keeping my entertained for the night!
OMG 41:52 seconds of Michael MJD, could I be happier? 😍😂 Chandler Bing’s “semi-citations” aside great video, I really like this style with live reactions and troubleshooting
Off-topic bits aren't usually something I'm interested in, but I don't think it's a problem in cases like this where little editing is being done to the video, and you were trying to illustrate how long a process (installation, etc.) was taking anyway. Regardless, we can just fast-forward through parts we don't like if we don't like them so it's not the biggest deal. Most of your video was very accurate and I'm kind of intrigued by how you spent that time... I usually just tap on a desk when I'm waiting for something to finally install lol. This was a real neat look into history. I love Windows 7 SO much and Vista truly was Longhorn for it. MS came up with "Whistler" for XP (in reference to the two ski resorts "Whistler" and "Blackcomb") and "Longhorn" (a location between the two resorts) for, well, this OS in the video, because it was supposed to be the "step-upgrade" like ME was to 2000. Instead, development on Longhorn was so bad, it had to be reset, again, like how the video said (the documentation here was really good!). Post-reset is called Windows Vista, which is what the follow-up to "Longhorn" was supposed to be. Instead, Vista ended up BEING Longhorn, the interrim OS. Blackcomb later came out as Windows 7. Ironically, Vista was supposed to be Blackcomb, with Longhorn being an intermediate OS bridging XP to Vista. Instead, it never came out, due to the protracted development of pre-reset or "Longhorn" as the video shows, and internally there was concern it'd never come out similar to the "Cairo" OS Microsoft tried to make in the 1990s (although almost all of its features ended up in Windows 95). So the reset occurred, but then this left them with a really long development time and no "step-upgrade" OS... well, none until Vista was so maligned and mishandled that Microsoft went "oh okay, sorry guys, this was Longhorn, you know, temporary upgrade. Pinky swear for realsies we have a new OS coming out with Vista features but BETTER!" and then Windows 7 came out. Now I feel like _I_ rambled a bit, but this video was not only very intriguing, but relating to my favorite OS. :) Ah... I'd sell my soul to have that gorgeous Aero theme again... it was so nice.
The stuff about how long Longhorn took to make reminds me of having a Haynes manual from 2003 or 2004 or something saying you should consider holding off on upgrading from 98 or 2K because "a new version called Longhorn is rumoured to come out soon" or something to that effect... I feel sorry for anyone who really hung onto 98 based on that advice! (This is just vaguely remembered of course, I think I actually do still have the book, I think it was called The Haynes PC Manual or something, bought for me based on their reputation with bicycles and cars, but it's packed away in a box somewhere so I'm not digging it out to fact-check my memory haha) I remember thinking Longhorn was a really odd name, and then years later when Vista finally came out and magazines started to hype it in the months ahead of release, I thought it was a much better name and also remember thinking: what happened to Longhorn? Is Vista Longhorn?? All because of one little aside in a top tips kind of sidebar thing mentioning Longhorn is known about. Of course nowadays I think, these companies are always building their next version by the time they release anything, the fact that something is coming up some time in the future isn't really a good reason to not but the current one. If it's definitely a few months away maybe, though I suppose the author could be forgiven for thinking it would have the same release cadence as 95 into 98 into Me into XP.
The slate theme looks almost identical to the "Zune theme" that was available to download for XP. Though that had I think an orange start button. I've got to wonder if the development of that theme came about as a result of this beta build. It's not like the Zune theme was a straight colour swap like the olive or silver default XP theme, it had new gradients similar to the XP Media Center Edition redesign, which this build also seems to have (though it may not be the exact same gradients). Very interesting
You also might wanna try external HDD case with CD drive emulation instead RW discs Zalman ZM-VE350 It supports ISO and probably something else (personally tried only ISO) and it's faster to install form it than form normal CD/DVD (even on USB 2.0)
I really like these style of videos! You should make one where you just tinker with the Inspiron 6400s. There is a modded BIOS floating around that gives them SLIC 2.1. And I installed said modded BIOS, and it actually works!
You could have used a program called easy2boot. It enables you to select what operating system that you want to install that's on your USB. I'm not sure if longhorn works but it probably would. And if the computer can't boot from USB, then use that one program that enables old computers to boot from USB. This would save you a bunch of time not having to burn all those discs
Hey Michael, great content! I happened to come across your channel after your Longhorn Reloaded video from a year ago. I was curious to know if you had ever tried out Longhorn 2008 (sometimes simply referred to as Longhorn '08)? This was the follow-up to Longhorn Reloaded. After Microsoft sent the C&D the LHR team split into two groups, one of which created Longhorn '08 which patched an unmodified 4074 build (the user had to get 4074 themselves thus side stepping the issue addressed in the C&D). The other team if you were curious that the LHR team split into was called Longhorn Fusion, which aimed to make Windows Vista feel like Longhorn. Other than a complete recreation of the Explorer file browser which acted just like Longhorn's that project simply devolved into simply being a theme for Vista/7. There's also another similar project called Longhorn 4074 TWIWMTB which added the animated aurora to the preview pane along with some other fixes. Curious to know if you've heard of that or tried it as well.
A modicum of off topic rambling is fine. Leave them in when they vaguely relate to tech and upcoming vids. The detour with the Monorail keyboard was fun :)
Looks like Motorola V300/V330 ;) Actually I have a V635 in mint condition which I assembled out of two half-dead V635s and a new factory-sealed shell. So I am driving two phones now: first and the main one is Samsung S8, and second one is Motorola V635 with working sim-card, with internet, bt, calls, sms/mms, camera and everything. Love it! ;)
i remember getting my hands on a version of long horn, and having a play with it. I found it was just windows XP with a bit of a make up job, but i do wonder if microsoft ended up going back to this with windows 7

No clean install needed for 4005. You can download 4001 and upgrade to that, then upgrade to 4005. I have all current 90 builds of longhorn that have been leaked as of this year (more are being leaked).. also you can download snappy driver installer and you can install drivers from that, some may not work but looking around the net you can find some older drivers that work with longhorn, i am currently doing a complete longhorn upgrade on my old PC right now

I frickin missed Longhorn....And finally i couldn't wait to check this out when it first popped up!
Looks like Motorola V300/V330 ;) Actually I have a V635 in mint condition which I assembled out of two half-dead V635s and a new factory-sealed shell. So I am driving two phones now: first and the main one is Samsung S8, and second one is Motorola V635 with working sim-card, with internet, bt, calls, sms/mms, camera and everything. Love it! ;)
This is the video I didn't know I needed
off topic ramblings are the best
i remember getting my hands on a version of long horn, and having a play with it. I found it was just windows XP with a bit of a make up job, but i do wonder if microsoft ended up going back to this with windows 7
I got a little tip for when you do things like these next time: please keep it legible... Instead of making fonts _positively giant,_ just use a size somewhere in between the normal and the one you chose...

this is like Windows detecting the C: drive when you unplug it while it's running and plug it back in

1. Yes to rambling! Ramble ramble!
2. Iirc the m3 build contains a wallpaper from Longhorn Alpha. It's the same image but with alpha written on it.

THANK YOU! I LOVE LONG VIDEOS!
Ikr :D
Me too ☺️
No clean install needed for 4005. You can download 4001 and upgrade to that, then upgrade to 4005. I have all current 90 builds of longhorn that have been leaked as of this year (more are being leaked).. also you can download snappy driver installer and you can install drivers from that, some may not work but looking around the net you can find some older drivers that work with longhorn, i am currently doing a complete longhorn upgrade on my old PC right now
Guys don't you think it would be super fun to have Druaga1 and MJD doing video together sometimes ☺
Yay more longhorn related stuff!
when i heard that music i thought dani was gonna tell me about how he used unity's particle system
This makes we want Windows Longhorn 😭
To be able to upgrade to build 4005 you need to upgrade from 3683 to 4001 first.
What if you did the same but with ALL builds of all windows versions? Would that even have a chance of being possible?
I vote FOR the rumblings. And I'd also like to see some Shorthorn stuff in your videos!
30:51 Ahh, yes.. “Bootloops” my favorite “breakfast serial”
Longhorn build 4001 (main) was leaked a while back
Nice your homosexual
