It was originally expected to ship sometime late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP and "Blackcomb" (now known as Windows "Vienna"). Gradually, "Longhorn" assimilated many important new features and technologies of "Blackcomb", and so the date of release was pushed back a few times. Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about feature creep, Microsoft announced on August 27, 2004 that it was making significant changes. "Longhorn" development basically started afresh, building on the Windows Server 2003 codebase, and re-incorporating only the features that would be intended for an actual operating system release. Some previously-announced features, such as WinFS, were dropped.微软早在2001年7月，就第一次提到‘Longhorn' 这个字眼，相比于同颂好兄年10月发行的 ‘XP’都要早。微软原本想在2003年底发行‘Longhorn'， 目的是让它作为现行系统 ‘XP’和 未来操作系统袜郑‘Blackcomb' (或者‘Vienna’)的一个小小过度。可随着时间的推移，‘Longhorn' 吸收了‘Blackcomb' 过多的新特性和新技术， 所以‘Longhorn'的野袭发行日期被一推再推。 After "Longhorn" was renamed to Windows Vista, an unprecedented (for Microsoft) beta-test program was started, which has involved hundreds of thousands of volunteers and companies. In September 2005, Microsoft started releasing regular Community Technology Previews (CTP) to beta testers.再‘Longhorn'被重命名为‘Vista’后，一个空前庞大的二版测试程序开始运作了起来，大约几十万名志愿者和公司参与了这个大型的测试程序。2005年9月，微软开始发行标版CTP（公共技术展望）给那些参与了二版测试的志愿者们。It has been suggested that a future Beta 2 CTP will be available through Microsoft's Customer Preview Program — essentially a free download. Microsoft's roadmap also indicates that the current planned "release to manufacturing" date is on or before October 25, 2006.Microsoft's Customer Preview Program将提供免费试用版Beta 2 CTP给公众。同时，微软也指出他们计划在2006年10月25号之前，正式发布‘Vista’正式版。‘Vista’正式版包括：§ Windows Vista Starter：Much like the Windows XP Starter Edition, this edition will be limited to emerging markets, mainly to offer a legal alternative to using unauthorized copies.
