Extremely customizable?  I never used Longhorn.  Weird.

 

I have trouble believing they scrapped 4 years of code, by the way....  That wouldn't make much sense business wise.

 

You can still find torrents of Longhorn out there to try it out on VMWare.

 

The last version I tried it was pretty cool, from what I remember. That was in like 02 or 03.

 

But here is a quote from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista

 

The original Longhorn, based on the Windows XP source code, was scrapped, and Longhorn's development started anew, building on the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1

 

They wanted to make Vista more "secure". Anyways, yea. Kinda fun to find the original builds of longhorn and see what vista originally was.
