It is an introduction into creatingĪn application from a specification, an introduction to socket communication, asynchronous methods, stream encodings, and basic encryption. It is not an example of a full featured, scalable, and secure FTP server. The following build 5000 is the first Longhorn build as far as I'm concerned.First, I want to describe what this article is not. It was simply to confirm that they were ready to start. There were no changes for Longhorn, no steps made towards preparing it for Longhorn. Hence, you use known code you've already confirmed is working. Obviously, when you have a new system, you want to know it works. They were determined to take lessons and there were substantial changes in their entire setup - hence why labs were retired and VBLs (Virtual Build Labs) were bought in - these were renamed after Vista to FBLs (feature build labs). No source code changes at all, just some ancillary stuff changed by the new build process they were introducing - like the EULA.Įssentially, the reset wasn't just a case of deleting the current Longhorn source tree and bringing in the 2003 one. NET Server 2003, so it makes sense that build 3790 is also based upon that.ģ790.1232 isn't just based off Server 2003, it *is* Server 2003.

Practically every early Longhorn build is based off.
