“Longhorn Reloaded” is a project to revive an earlier beta of Windows Vista from before the company’s reset of the Vista project on August 27, 2004. And Longhorn was ‘alive and kicking’ until Microsoft recently sent them a friendly cease & desist letter. The “Longhorn Reloaded” team took the pre-release Build 6.0.4074 of Longhorn, which still has features like WinFS, to “finish off what Microsoft started” and release new versions of it. Obviously we can see why Microsoft would not be thrilled about this, but they should at least acknowledge the programmers interest in preserving some cool Windows functionalities left out of the current Windows Vista.
