Windows Vista UI Evolution!

Here is a video showing how Windows Vista has evolved as such in terms of the general UI, from the early Longhorn builds up to the final release.

The Windows Vista UI For Me Just Feels Better Than The 7 UI

[lmnk]

0:30 - I love how early pre-reset Longhorn build had clock on a logon screen, it's a such a nice touch.
They only reintroduced it in Windows 8, almost 10 years later.

Windows Vista has a superbly magnificent looking UI. From the boot animation to the wallpapers and stuff, everything is ✨perfect ✨
The boot animation has glowing Vista orb whose glowing movement syncs perfectly with the startup sound.
And then there's the logon which also is in sync with the logon sound.
The overall GUI of Vista was beautiful and the last consistent UI made by Microsoft.
Vista still looks better than 11 (at least in my opinion)

Vista for the time was hard to run on hardware, but damn It was beautiful.

I can remember buying APC and PC Authority straight off the press every month for the latest updates, and also my first experience with Beta 1 in the computing manager's office at my high school - I was amazed at the theme; it was cutting edge at the time - on par with OS X. In some ways, I liked it better than the RTM's after it was released.

1:28 A development reset occurred, which leads us to Build 5001

That cow in the windows xp wallpaper be like: why am I stil here.. just to suffer..

One thing that's crucial for understanding how certain elements keep zig-zagging back & forth pre-reset is that the development setup in that phase was quite disorganized. One thing was that each individual sub-team was submitting entire builds all on their own. So the team for one component would submit a build, then another team working on another part of the OS would submit a build of their own even if it predated some of the changes made in that other build. The various builds from various teams became difficult to reconcile with one another. Plus, Longhorn was originally meant as a smaller intermediary project to tide the public over until the release of the larger "Blackcomb" project (as indicated by their namesakes, with the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains being next to one another, with Longhorn Bar & Grill situated on a road between them). However, with no solid consensus on exactly what was OK for Longhorn and what was to be saved for Blackcomb, feature creep started setting in, gradually threatening Blackcomb's very relevance. Not good. So, eventually the project was reset with a streamlined setup.

Build 5001 is actualy Windows XP Longhorn Edition

[HanamaruAnimeGame]

If I’m right the vista/7 UI looks so nice that I’ve been knowing if I return this to Windows 10 via the themes setting. I did but only for the windows 7 default wallpaper from the desktop.

One thing I always wanted in Classic theme was a Start button with a white flag, but I never knew how to get it. I think it was in a Beta or RC version. Can someone help?

Based on Loghorn Xp core, not Loghorn Vista

Windows Vista's latest and the Betas version was so beautiful. But I am confusing, does all beta version of Windows Vista uses Windows XP sounds?
