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

Ahhh - I see. Thanks everyone!

I was checking back regularly to see whether there'd been anyone had managed to develop an ip package from the icons the author was using.

Someone has, but they've not uploaded it here.

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.

I had the feeling it was something like that.

Why?

Reply #10 July 26, 2005 11:16 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Because it's better than fighting a lawsuit.

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?

Other ports have appeared without issue.

Reply #17 July 26, 2005 5:12 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yep. They have.

I'm glad I downloaded it when I did.

Ditto!

Damn Strait!!!

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

Reply #22 July 26, 2005 7:33 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

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?
