“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. When I asked Microsoft about the Longhorn Reloaded team's efforts in October 2006, here is the response I received from a Microsoft spokeswoman: Windows Longhorn build 4074 64-bit by vm. 'Also I'm (not) a 100% sure that they are aware of the LHR (Longhorn Reloaded) situation. 'We haven't currently suffered any threats from Microsoft, maybe because Longhorn is considered abandonware, I don't know,' Jemaho said.

(The core Longhorn Reloaded team consists of seven Joejoe members, Jemaho said.) If technical roadblocks didn't make the mission impossible, Microsoft's legal department would, the critics said. When the Longhorn Reloaded team announced its intentions to build a version of Windows built on the pre-release Build 4074 of Longhorn, many said it couldn't be done.

It is a modification of Windows, which was originally released during the 2004 Windows Hardware Engineers Conference,' explained the Longhorn Reloaded team on the Joejoe Web site.įor the record, Microsoft officials never claimed Longhorn, the release of Windows now known as Vista, was cancelled. To put the projects aims simply, we aim to finish off what Microsoft started before the operating system was canceled. 'Longhorn Reloaded is a Project dedicated to the revival of the Operating System known as Code Name 'Longhorn'.
