Chris Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I guess it makes sense to simply start at the beginning. While there are no doubt people at Microsoft who can point to an earlier date than I can, for me--and for most of the world--Windows Vista began on July 25, 2001, less than a month before Microsoft completed Windows XP. On that day, Microsoft publicly confirmed that it had changed its previous plans to follow up XP (codenamed "Whistler") with a major Windows version codenamed Blackcomb. "There will be a Windows release between Windows XP and Blackcomb," a spokesperson for the software giant verified that day. It was codenamed Longhorn and would ship in 2003, Microsoft said. According to reports, planning for the Longhorn release began the previous May when the Windows XP development process started winding down.More | Here :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
