This is speeds up setup greatly, just look at the remaining time for instance and compare it to that of a xp machine. Notice also the lack of a dos setup screen, this would be the first version of windows to copy files to the hard drive using a disk image, think Norton Ghost.
The second paragraph also shows our reasoning for setting the BIOS date back earlier. You can see the highlight colour around the button has been changed from XP’s hideous green to a light blue colour. Though with most beta’s it’s presence is likely that of a place holder. The generally layout of the screen is fine, a general message is displayed about welcome to setup, however the button in the right hand corner does not fit in very well with the general layout. This clearly shows the start of a trend for older version of longhorn, black and grey gradient effects. The first screen we are presented with, upon the setup loading up. I personally prefer it to the vista boot screen. It shows Microsoft’s soon to be standard of having a simplistic boot screen. Screen 2 – Shows the new boot screen, which seems a combination of what would be vista and XP. Screen 1 Shows the Pre-environment loading Virtualbox method was only possible using a undocumented command, but the date had to be in milliseconds. I would have liked to use Virtualbox, however this was halted when I realised I had to set the BIOS Date. The simple solution is to change the BIOS date, to a date before the product expired. This like all windows pre-releases, would stop the product from functioning after a certain date. This is a alpha build and as such had an expiration date coded into it. It shall remain the Operating System that failed not because of lack of features, more because of lack of identity. This build is very late on in the design process of Longhorn, around the stage that Microsoft were beginning to question the direction of longhorn.
Bill Gates idea of ‘information at your fingertips’ coupled with WINFS and the promise of a rational based data store system. Mainly build 4047.įirst, this will only be the second time that I personally have used longhorn, however I have always admired the design and look. This blog post will cover the unreleased OS windows Longhorn.
