Why Was Longhorn 5203 Removed?

July 26, 2005 8:35:58 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Does anyone know why this skin has been removed from the site? Is there a problem with it we should know about?

It could be Long Horn is no longer, and is is now known as Windows Vista.

It's off the site again by the way. I guess KoL_ is just doing some bug fixes and the whole Vista thing.

It's been removed at Microsoft's request.

Is everything named "Longhorn" going to removed and if not not why did MS want this one removed?

I would assume that it depends on the content of the skin.  We pretty much remove things that we receive valid complaints about.

I believe it was just a skin - I fail to see why MS had a problem with it. Anyhow it's already been dealt with.

It was a port of Port of Windows Longhorn Build 5203.....and you can't see why MS would have a problem with it?

Don't do ports without permission and you'll not ever have the problem of having one taken down.

Yeah - I'm glad I managed to get it too. Maybe we should only use a play on words to name things - something like shorthorn. I'll be interested to see what MS does with Vista - that's a word in common usage and I don't see how they could stop anyone using that!

Thanks for the link Woodbridge!

I hope they do a stripped out version just for netting.

I always wanted Vista Cruiser

Whoa! I just went to Kol's website and it looks like he changed the name to "Lognhorn "'5203.'" I guess the problem really was the name?

LOL! Nice amendment!

Why doesn't Microsoft realise that this sort of thing just makes them look like idiots?
