longhorn

The Longhorn-era screenshots and management-console previews that once circulated as “Windows Server ‘Longhorn’” remain essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand how Microsoft remade its server roadmap in the mid-2000s — and why that remaking still shapes Windows Server design today...

Microsoft are making it known that support for Windows 7 and other products will soon be changing. Vista and Win 7 will see extended support until the early 2020's but it seems Microsoft wants to close the chapter that was originally called 'Longhorn'. Mary Jo Foley writes in her article: Ref...

Let's Begin with a few things: WINDOWS XP: This OS may be efficient but is quickly becoming obsolete due to windows 8, but Windows 7 is even MORE efficient and has a LOT more support!, it's faster and more reliable in the long run as long as you keep it current!!, if you own an old PC, and it...

"Early milestone builds of Windows 8 have leaked onto the Internet, and considerable effort has been put into figuring out how they work. Though officially tight-lipped, snippets of information have escaped Redmond's walls. So far, it appears that Windows 8 development doesn't just look not bad...

Early this month, Microsoft dropped something of a bombshell on Windows developers: the new Windows 8 touch-friendly immersive style would use a developer platform not based on .NET, which Microsoft has been championing for the past decade. Instead, it would use HTML5 and JavaScript. Since then...

From Link Removed - Invalid URL One of the few pieces of criticism that Microsoft got for Windows 7 was related to the apparently modest plans it had for the operating system, with some calling the new OS just a minor upgrade from its precursor. Under the leadership of Steven Sinofsky...

With Windows 7 due out later this month, many of you are no doubt counting the days until release. I've played with both the beta and RC of Microsoft's latest OS, and quite honestly, I liked what I saw. If this had come out in 2006 when 'Longhorn' was promised, I have no doubt that I would not...

So, how much longer do you think microsoft will be able to keep quiet about Windows 7? It's been well over a year since the launch of Windows Vista, and at this time from the launch of Windows XP, Microsoft was talking quite a bit about Longhorn. I sure hope the start talking soon, so that...

Calling it that is like calling Windows Vista Windows longhorn, Microsoft is no longer using that name. It's officially Windows 7, so everyone should quit calling it other names.

Hi guys, When recently browsing the web, I came across this: http://www.joejoe.org/forum/index.php?s=f7dda7865865f48f994ae44494cb4e4d&showforum=59 First off, I need to tell a bit of history. Back in 2002, Microsoft started work on the next version of Windows, so called "Longhorn". This...

Windows Code name blackcomb now Vienna, and Windows NT 5.1, codenamed "Whistler"; were both named after the Whistler-Blackcomb resort. Vista, codename longhorn, which was an intermediate release, was named after a bar at the Whistler-Blackcomb resort. Isn't Microsoft smart at the naming? :P

Its the first ive heard of 'windows vienna', is this the codename like longhorn was or the actual name?

As we saw with Vista, MS thought Vista (longhorn) would ship 2003/2004. Here we are, it just came out, and the year is 2007. Now, Microsoft has said that Vienna will not be another release that will take 5-7 years, it will be done it two years. So, do you think this will really happen? I...

I'm thinking of buying a new pc with window's vista on it to use the remote access features when I'm traveling. But from the stuff on the site it is not clear to me if I will be able to access the desktop with just one pc setup with the business edition. It appears I will need more perhaps a...
