Introduction from Wikipedia (useless, just for archiving)

Windows Vista is a graphical operating system produced by Microsoft for personal computers, including home and business PCs, laptops, and media centers. It was the version released before Windows 7, and prior to the announcement of the name "Vista" on July 22, 2005, this operating system was known by the codename Longhorn. Development of Microsoft Vista was completed on November 8, 2006, and in the following three months, it was distributed in three phases to software manufacturers, computer hardware vendors, corporate clients, and distributors. On January 30, 2007, Windows Vista became available to the general public and was also available for download on Microsoft's website. This marked the longest wait Microsoft had before launching a new major operating system, as the last one was five years earlier with Windows XP.

Windows Vista features hundreds of new capabilities, the most notable of which include a new user interface called "Windows Aero," improved search features, and new tools for creating multimedia such as a DVD maker, along with entirely redesigned subsystems for networking, audio, printing, and display. Vista aims to enhance communication between computers within home networks through peer-to-peer technology, simplifying the sharing of files, password settings, and digital media among computers and devices. For developers, Vista introduces the third version of the .NET Framework, designed to make programming significantly easier for developers, with the goal of improving traditional system software and interfaces.

One of the primary goals Microsoft announced for Vista was to enhance the security of Windows operating systems. One of the most common criticisms directed at Windows XP and its predecessors was their security vulnerabilities, which could be exploited, along with their general susceptibility to malware and viruses and "buffer overflows." In light of this, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 the "Trustworthy Computing Initiative," aimed at integrating security work into every aspect of software development within the company. Microsoft claimed it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 over completing work on Windows Vista, which significantly delayed its completion date.

Microsoft began working on the "Longhorn" plan in May 2001, several months before the launch of Windows XP. It was named "Longhorn" after a famous bar in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, and was expected to hit the market in late 2003 as a small step between Windows XP and "Blackcomb," which is now known as Windows "Vienna." Gradually, "Longhorn" absorbed many new and important technologies and features that were originally intended for Blackcomb, leading to multiple delays in its launch. Many developers at Microsoft were assigned to improve the security of Windows XP. With growing concerns about aimless delays, Microsoft announced on August 27, 2004, that it was making significant changes. Development of "Longhorn" restarted based on the Windows Server 2003 code, selecting features that would benefit a true operating system release. Some previously announced features, such as WinFS and NGSCB, were removed or postponed, while others, like a new software development approach called the "Security Development Lifecycle," were added to address security issues related to the Windows codebase.

After changing the name from "Longhorn" to Windows Vista, Microsoft made an unprecedented announcement about the start of a "beta testing" program that included hundreds of thousands of volunteers and companies. In September 2005, Microsoft released the usual preview versions called Community Technology Previews to beta testers. The first of these versions was distributed to attendees at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in 2005 and was later released to Microsoft beta testers and subscribers of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). Subsequent releases included most of the features planned for the final product, as well as several changes to the user interface, based on feedback and suggestions from many beta testers.

Its features were fully completed with the release of the preview version launched on February 22, 2006, with much of the remaining work before the final product launch focusing on stability, performance, driver and application compatibility, and documentation of various aspects related to it. For the first time for Windows Vista, Beta 2 was released to testers in late May 2006 and to the general public on June 7, 2006, as part of Microsoft's "Customer Preview Program." Over five million individuals downloaded that version. On September 1, 2006, Microsoft released the "Release Candidate 1" build of Windows Vista, expected to be the last major build before the launch of Windows Vista. The release candidate appeared on October 6, 2006.

Microsoft's roadmap indicated that the final version would be released on or before October 25, 2006, exactly five years after the release of Windows XP. However, in March 2006, it was announced that the launch of Vista would be delayed until January 2007 to give software and hardware developers enough time to prepare for the launch date. Experts and analysts anticipated that this delay would lead to another delay due to some legal concerns in Europe and South Korea, as well as the lack of results and the disappearance of progress during the preview period. However, on November 8, 2006, Microsoft announced the completion of the development of Windows Vista, marking the end of the longest development period the company had experienced with one of its products. Microsoft spent 6 billion USD to produce this system.
