Cloud Geek Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 As every longhorn fan knows microsoft canceld the longhorn project and started the new os "Windows Vista"Microsoft abandoned some builds of Longhorn OS, now is my question to you are we, longhorn fans: allowed to make GUI Modifications and redistribute the ISO with our modifications in it? My idea was to discuss what features we longhorn fans want to have in longhorn, and try to create modifications and add them to one of the latest builds, to continue microsoft it's work on the Longhorn OS. then maybe we can put all our creativity all together in one new Longhorn OS!! Just to put all modifications we made for Windows Longhorn in a stable and good looking build of microsoft and make it our Joejoe build of Windows Longhorn Operating system!! http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/2913/do...tallcopylw4.jpg Please Join And Help : http://www.joejoe.org/forum/index.php?show...c=2094&st=0 programmers needed "Ok guys, we (the staff) have made a decision on what is warez and what not. Longhorn is now (for us) Abandonware, as the project known as "Codename Longhorn" has been canceled in December 2004. After that, the developement of the now known OS "Windows Vista" has begun from scratch, based on the core of Windows Server 2003, which is a different one from Longhorn (which was .NET). Ok, and here're the facts which should be realy interresting for you: Windows Codename "Longhorn" Build 36xx - 4094 is ABANDONWARE and we'll tolerate download links, torrents, etc.. Windows Vista Build 5048-Final is WAREZ, apart from the build which will be pulically avialable (like Beta2, RC1, RC2, Gold). Feel free to enjoy "longhorn" now ."

ANY code that has been written by MS, including builds as old as these in question, is still owned by MS. They wouldnt let code out like that, as a lot of it is very similar to that used in Vista.

NienorGT Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Then I want a proof that Microsoft release Longhorn as Abandonware... longhorn client was abandoned Meh... So Whistler as been abandoned for XP?Dude... read the pressrelease: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2.../07-22LHMA.mspx Microsoft Unveils Official Name for “Longhorn” and Sets Date for First Beta Targeted at Developers and IT Professionals Vista is the name...

nwBen Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 longhorn client was abandoned and they used some ideas in vista (codename longhor) longhorn is the codename for windows server Longhorn Client = Vista. Longhorn Server = Vista Server (or whatever they end up naming it). And I'd also like some proof that they've labelled it abandonware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 longhorn client was abandoned and they used some ideas in vista (codename longhor) longhorn is the codename for windows server development on windows 95 has long since been abandoned. have you seen one line of code from that? I'll quote myself on what I said in the original thread on Oct. 27: can I have some of what this guy is smoking? nah, maybe not... obviously the stuff results in significant loss of brain cells.

ninjakarl Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ben's right, do some research. Now to formulate a good response, Longhorn was not abandoned and some of the ideas used in Windows Vista. Longhorn was just a codename, there was one for XP as well. They simply removed some of the things they were going to do. You don't seem to be able to wrap your head around this. Also, no. Microsoft wouldn't permit this, it's not abandonware and you have no such proof that it is. Drop the issue because you have no idea what you're talking about.

theyarecomingforyou Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 LMAO. I thought this was about copying the Longhorn visuals into Vista, not about trying to convince people that modifying and redistributing Microsoft code is allowed or even supported.

NTCTZEN Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 No offence! But it's quite stupid trying to run a skinned version of an abandoned OS project which was not a performance superdog in the first place. If you really want to show your skinning talent Vista offers the wildest possible challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Geek Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Then I want a proof that Microsoft release Longhorn as Abandonware... Meh... So Whistler as been abandoned for XP? Microsoft's Reaction QUOTE Hi again JoeJoe: I?ve been contacted by my counterparts in our Legal department to ask you to open a dialogue about the Longhorn Reloaded project you?ve mentioned starting on your site. You should know that we actively encourage and support independent developers to take advantage of the features available in our platform to create unique applications and services. But, our EULA does not allow users to modify and redistribute our code in the way you?re planning to. So, we cannot sanction the project you?re planning due to the fact that it would violate our EULA. Would you please reply at your earliest convenience? Thanks in advance. Regards, Nick White ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " "(stealth @ Oct 27 2006, 07:03 AM) exactly, we arnt modifying the ISO itself, just a customization pack for it like other people have done, who the hell dobbed us in?? " I replied that earlier...so let's wait for his reply." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Did you read this!?: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=63 And what about this!? When asked about the legality of the proposed Longhorn Reloaded project, a Microsoft spokeswoman e-mailed the following statement: ?Microsoft actively encourages and supports independent developers to take advantage of the features available in our platform to create their own applications and services; however, the Windows end user licensing agreement does not allow users to modify and redistribute our code in this manner.? " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are getting famous with this little project right now ! LOL I didn't get any email by MS yet. How about a meeting ?We should meet and discuss the whole thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 30 2006, 04:28 AM was the date of that post after that a pinned topic by a joejoe admin stating that this is abandoned has been up for month has probably been read by microsoft and joe joe and other admins http://www.joejoe.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tianh Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 personally he can care less about what you think legal issues and whatnot, he is asking for support and for programmers, if he gives you the chat transcript and you dont believe him then thats up to you, but please dont go up saying I dont believe you, that is a waste of your time and I personally take that as spam, if you do not want to support the project then fine, but keep your comments to yourself and put something constructive not like "i dont believe you." Looks great and I hope that all turns out well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
