Not sure about this but has anyone got any early windows longhorn builds i could try?
i would prefer build 3718.
thanks
flyboy
longhorn was the name for vista when it was beta is that what you seek?
in that case why?
Longhorn is old news...get with Windows 7!
duh ive own and have beta tested win 7. But the question is has anyone got a copy of longhorn build 3718!
oh and i want to test it that is why i seek it
What?
Why do you want to test an old build of an already released *and superseded* operating system? One which flopped?!
You're a proper masochist, my friend...
1.What a masocrist or whatever?
2. Windows 7 gets boring when youve had it for 2 years.
3. longhorn is a combination of xp and vista as we no it.
Anyway i want to discover what was up with longhorn. And why it was never sold as it was. And why it and vista needed 4 years of development.
thanks
flyboy
1. Google is always good to provide what something means
2. You must be a pre-beta tester for M$ as wasn't even previewed 2 years ago
3. If your not specific on build you will find the 4XXX available for download via searching "can't provide link the sites go against forum rules"

Actually the build of longhorn your on about is not a mix of vista and xp, its an early vista buld with the old xp taskbar still in it, explorer .exe and everything else are early beta builds of vista versions, most now have expired because of timebombs, i doubt you will find a copy outside of bill gates mansion lol
and i had the very first pre-beta build of win 7 and that was about a year ago not 2 lol
yeah.
i do
i got 3718
and 4051. 4074 . 5112. and about 10 other beta builds fron 2002 onwards right up to post rtm vista builds ( yep they did betas after the rtm ! )
*************
BTW: the timebomb thing. you just set the bios date/time back to when it come out, then install.
Oh and i got windows 7 build 6519 so i will be trying that tonight.
And terminal 7 can you upload 3718 to mediafire? Rapidshares gone a bit funny
Or upload to live skydrive and send us the link? Please
I really apriciate it!
thanks

soon I am gonna have the new htc touch pro 2. it is said to have been already upgraded with wm6.5. I have alot of programs that run on wm6.1. do they no longer work on 6.5???? what is gonna happen when windows mobile 7 comes around all the programs will be useless as well???
yes they all will work, as far for Windows Mobile 7, it will not besupported by TouchPro2, a device by HTC, named "Leo" is coming which has the first snapdragon processor (1GHZ), that might be supported..

Where to download the thing
???
please somebody??
THis at best seems to me a WAD theme. Or am I wrong, may be I would be more interested to see me wrong this time.
Looks like yet another shell program, but apparently a good one
pretty fancy when he posts a link can you put it up here?
here is the post from the guy who put up the video

yaa it seems something like those shell programs. I don't know if it will be anything more than just few windows program. @ryan don't worry you will surely get one when it will be out. Cheers.
i will contact the coder i think that windows vista for kaiser will be released very very very soon
If it wasn't simply a Shell User Interface then why would it run within Windows Mobile?
I suppose you're going to install Desktop applications on your Kaiser? Like everyone can afford 300+MB for Office?
It's bad enough on full sized PCs
Without bringing it to PPC platforms as well. Aside from the 'resource' issues already referred to, there's also the fact that even WM 6.1 doesn't offer full driver support for much of the hardware it's commonly (and officially) installed on. A good example is that unlike the desktop WHQL driver certification scheme where many of these drivers are included in native OS desktop builds, there's no such luck with Windows Mobile and it's a free-for-all with Microsoft allowing devices to be sold with their OS and no proper driver support. Maybe WM 7.0 may correct this (for example by offering full Qualcomm MSM72xx chipset support) but thats no help for Kaiser owners wanting to play video using just native apps.
What's really needed is to get the current Windows Mobile OS sorted and working reliably with full performance (and that additionally includes sorting the poor performing shambles that is currently known as Activesync/WMDC) before trying to add additional 'cosmetic' features.
Look for it
January 09

this looks sweet! can't wait for it to be available!
It is January.
That looks awesome! I spent days trying to find the stupid "Vista Portable Edition" Wisbar theme and never succeeded. Grab it quick, cause I'm pretty sure the reason the previously mentioned Wisbar theme was so hard to find is because Microsoft forced people to remove it. This is great though.

I dont think so..
because WM7 comes out in March.
And xda support will there alway's be ( i hope and i think xD)
They won't kill WM, and even if they did, we would still have our forum and the freedom to probay do what MS didn't want us to mod in WM

...is this your first Windows Mobile phone ?.....
WM 7 will be out in ...Mar....er.....May.......er.....will definitely be ready by Aug...er......1Q 2011.
To me, it is. Manufacturers are dropping it in favor of the much friendlier Android platform and the public seemingly lost interest in it. It will go like PalmOS did unless Windows Mobile 7 doesn't borrow anything from its ancestors.
It's about time HTC takes WM behind the shed and put it to rest until MS can show something worth using.
I'm tired of waiting for WM7, so I'm looking at the HTC Nexus 1 with Android 2.1 in January to be my next bad boy toy!

What?!
You said you´ll be going for Leo!!
Now for Nexus?
I don´t think Nexus will be at the same level of Leo!

LOL, yep not waiting on the usa Leo in April but going to the Dark Side on Jan 5th It's still HTC and check the specs out which are impressive
Well, if they keep the winmo 6.x versions for some more, itll be enough to kill it. It cant even be compared with the android. My guess is if winmo 7 does not come soon enough (now hoping that it will be on the same level as android), well this will be enough time for the other OS to take over.
@galaxys
Good luck with Android buddy!
I´m sure you´ll miss WM!!
As for buisnees envoirment (as you mentioned before) is the best OS
I´ll stay with WM!
Happy new year!

Android has a long way to go before it compaires to windows mobile, yeah it has potential but, the apps dont come close to the ones on windows and 99% of them are useless gimicky crap like the iphone also customising android is a pain in the arse, im thinking of selling my hero and getting a tp2 lol

I always thought WinMo 6.5.3 like COM 8 or COM 3 were to be WinMo 7, so that they'll join the market closer to Windows Seven. It's neither logical, nor I have no proof of that, but my intuition says...

i assume the win mo 6.5.2/.3 builds are just ms playing with possible ui's for windows mobile 7 as its clear that ppc lcd screen technology, it about to radically change, with mulit-touch screens becomming the norm....
Hybrid resistive capacitive screens are the way forward. Or even multi-touch resistive. I swear we all use capacitive screens today slightly because of apple and the iphone...
Also end of windows mobile its already happened its windows phone now

"windows Phone" is a type of device not an operating system lol
I'm very confident this prediction won't happen in 2010.
Even other Mobile OS is getting more and more marketshare. But until now, WM is still the best. Other OS still has long way to go.

I think it's the opposite, Windows Mobile has a long way to go.
Let's see: poor online services integration, late release of a marketplace for applications, developers slowly switching to more lucrative platforms, manufacturers prefering up-to-date platforms and stylus-based navigation and I'm not done. Windows Mobile feels like Palm OS did 3 years ago.
A couple months ago i saw a phone running full windows xp and i was wondering if it possible to run windows os on the n1 or even windows mobile and have dual boot?
EDIT: So for the forth time today, sorry for necroing this thread... organized my threads wrong.

I have seen Windows 95 and I may have read something about Windows 98 running. Not to sure on either though.
You do not want Windows Mobile running on your N1. Bad choice, you have Android, in comparison, you don't compare the two...
The HD2 has had the pleasure of having Android on it because WinMo is not the greatest, good hardware with an aging OS thus Android is now able to be put on it.
Check the upcoming building Windows 8 for the PC it's very interesting because it has a really similar OS that hd7 has right now
Check the video

I think that the Windows Phone 7 is going to have a great future but who knows how long will that take.
I'll advise people now not to bother with any current leaked Windows 8 builds that are out there. Driver support is non-existant and if you plan on Dual-booting it uses the same BootMgr as Windows 7 and thus you can't get back to your Windows 7 build without the disk.
Just a question, don't you think they are over doing a nice OS...I mean, looked cool on our phones and all...but don't you think seeing the same thing on PC is pushing it a little too far...just a question...

i agree but disagree at the same time. it can start something new, this isnt something microsoft usually does. look at the last OS's they have had. 7, vista.. almost the same thing. i think that this should have been WP7, and done something alittle more improving to Windows 8. lol
