It does not appear that Vista is driving PC growth, however, and even among Vista fans, the mood is somber. Vista will still sell well, if only because the momentum of the growing PC market will not allow otherwise. I personally wouldn't call Windows Vista a bomb, but Microsoft has lost serious mindshare and respect in the many years since Windows XP, primarily on account of Vista. With Windows 7, Microsoft needs to deliver in a big way. Admission or not, it's quite clear that things that were not "totally together" where included on the "shipping train," and that the departure time became more important than the quality of the release. Unfortunately, Vista did become date-driven, and even Gates seemed to admit that Vista shipped before it was ready when Gizmodo talked to him at CES this year. To this day, it remains a literary classic to me (and, well, probably only to me): AdvertisementĪnd the train could have a lot of people on it In the thick of Longhorn development problems in 2004, Gates tried to reassure everyone that the release would not become date-driven. But once Microsoft rebooted Longhorn's development more than two years into the process, the company made a critical error: in a panic, it focused on when the product would ship, not when it would be ready. In its early days as Longhorn, perhaps the project was too ambitious. The question is what's most important: the date or the product? Microsoft, please take your time

A more interesting question is: should Microsoft be aiming for late 2009? Should the company be aiming at a date, or should it be aiming at an experience? To be sure, a software company can't develop without some kind of general timeframe.

No one can predict the future, and Microsoft's own history shows that its roadmaps and predictions are not to be trusted. All of this points to a late 2009 release, they say, which is indicated by this "road map."Īrguing about whether or not Windows 7 will ship in late 2009 is pointless. APC Magazine claims to have seen a roadmap which puts M2 in an April/May timeframe, and a M3 in the third quarter of this year. A more recent build was reportedly described as Milestone 1. Ars Technica has also seen an older build, as we told you about more than a month ago. The scuttlebutt (condensed): some users have seen early builds of Windows 7, including a poster at Neowin. Either way, the rumor mill is heating up with claims that the successor to Windows Vista-currently dubbed Windows 7-could be released as early as next year, as opposed to sometime in 2010, as currently expected. I want to test some Longhorn builds (specially 4074) because Windows Vista introduces a lot of changes and is interesting to see its evolution.Take it as a sign that Windows Vista failed to capture the imagination of Windows users, or take it as a sign that sensationalism sells. For people who thinks that the Longhorn themes are a good idea I dissapoint it because it doesn't change the start menu and doesn't put Windows XP sounds which all pre-reset Longhorn build uses. It could be difficult to create an unattended Windows Longhorn but thanks if any can create some unattended Windows Longhorn builds (with VMware/Virtual Box drivers).

Other solution could be create a blog with Longhorn Virtual Box/VMware virtual machines with the drivers installed.

If this upgrade is possible we could create a common VMware drivers for XP and Longhorn because in modern versions of VMware have problems with sound in old windows VM. If Longhorn doesn't delete any xp files, I prefer to upgrade. I don't know if during the upgrade Windows Longhorn delete all XP drivers. I haven't any problems installing Windows xp but when I finished to upgrade xp to Longhorn, I haven't sound and this is a problem for me. I found in an post of betaarchives that it is posible upgrade Windows xp to Longhorn 4001, upgrade it to Longhorn 4029 and finally upgrade Longhorn 4029 to 4093. I couldn't work without sound because of my blindness.

I tried to install Longhorn 4074 but the installer asked me the location of some drivers which include audio and I can specify it because I use an OCR system.
