Longhorn (pre-reset) was my last version of windows back in 2004. after that mess, i refused to ever go back.
The name came from the bar in Whistler, BC... might give a little more insight into the development team...
Shit TIL. I was up there a few weeks ago.
i know.
fyi, WindowsXP was codenamed "Whistler". Windows 7 was originally codenamed "Blackcomb", but that codename was later dropped. Windows Home Server 2011 was codenamed "Vail".
the MS team has a history of using ski resorts and related names as codenames for windows betas.
Oh yes, I'm well aware but couldn't remember what names connected to the proper OS. I've always had the joking idea in my head that the names came from a project manager who didn't actually do anything except daydream about where their next paid vacation was booked lol
Whistler Blackcomb was the name of a resort that the Windows design team used to on retreat to. They would also go elsewhere, as I’m sure you can guess…
Windows 11 was codenamed “Sun Valley”
Windows 7 was peak Windows experience IMO, and to follow it up win Windows 8...
I still remember my first windows 7 install. I remember my wallpaper. It was winter. I rocked a digital blasphemy snowman wallpaper. Shortly after, doom 3 was released. The amount of counter strike I played on there was problematic. I remember installing like a game desktop where it was an fps and I could arrange things and walk to different rooms of a house which were just folders of shortcuts and shit. Lol. It was neat for a bit.
So nostalgic now.
Better times, friend. Better times.
I consider Windows 7 the last good version, but I still consider Windows 2000 to be when Microsoft was at the top of their game.
Windows 7 is awful
Far enough
They are both right.
It was their last good OS.
Still proprietary spyware, it looks awful and it is bloated.
Let's agree to disagree
It's shit compared to XP, but it's wonderful when compared to 11, or even 10.
