Re: Windows Longhorn Build 5048 full DWM Post by somerandompep » Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:06 am I installed VMware SVGA 3D Version 7.0 (WDDM) and only added Glass and Metal registry keys and it worked. Oct 29, 2018 Re: Windows Longhorn: Problem installing Build 5048 in Virtu Post by Kimberly5384 » Sun Dec 16, 2018 9:12 pm The only way to get Longhorn working in VirtualBox is by setting the date via MS-DOS, I've done it plenty times before. Dec 27, 2019 The initial stages of Longhorn were usually articulated by incremental improvements and updates to Windows XP. A typical build label would appear as if “Longhorn Build 366.3.Lab06N.0”. Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista are 32-bit operating systems supporting a physical address range of up to 4 GB.

Longhorn was the codename for the planned successor of Windows XP. The project was reset and replaced with a new project - Longhorn Omega-13 which was later renamed Windows Vista. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as 'Longhorn', causing confusion.

One of the original - and largest - changes is that, with 'Longhorn', the .NET Framework would be integrated into the core Windows platform, deprecating the traditional Win32 API. During development, portions of the operating system were rewritten, causing memory leaks and instability, particularly in Windows Explorer.

Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of 'Longhorn' are not based on Windows XP, but Windows Server 2003 (Build 3663) Release Candidate code.

History

Codename

'Longhorn' was chosen as the codename for the operating system to represent its initial status as an internim release between Windows XP (codenamed 'Whistler') and 'Blackcomb'. Whistler and Blackcomb are names of mountains in British Columbia, Canada,^[1][2] and Longhorn is the name of a saloon located in between the two mountains, representing the operating system's initial status as an internim release between the two products.^[3] Bill Gates would later state that this choice for a codename of the operating system was 'a bit random'.^[4]
