Here's a (mostly-complete?) list of what we should try to cover in this article:

  • Longhorn announcement, summer 2001
  • Early build leaks?
  • Fake Longhorn videos/screenshots mention?
  • PDC 2003, first public beta, announcement of WinFS, Avalon, Indigo, etc.
  • Old themes (Jade, Plex, etc.)
  • Development "reset"
  • removal of WinFS?
  • WinHEC 2005 build
  • Rename to Windows Vista
  • Move towards regular Community Technology Previews
  • Code completion
  • Channel 9 video, developer blog links
  • Build history
  • Collection of build screenshots, if feasible
  • Define EDW
  • Screenshots of Milestone 1(M1), M2, the real M6, Beta 1 and RC2.
  • Discussion about the making and inclusion of Vista's new sounds.
  • Expand coverage of pre-release press reviews
