'''Windows Longhorn''' is the codename for Windows Vista, It's first (leaked) build was compiled on September 23rd, 2002.
====Setting up your VM====
 
After going through the OOBE, it is recommended to go through gpedit.msc and manage some policies. If you have an AD (Active Directory) server, you can hook up your VM to that and manage policies there. If you want, you can also "debloat" the OS making it run slightly faster, though, versions earlier than 8.1 are not as bad. Additionally, you can install a browser, although Longhorn is not only an unstable shithole, it also barely works with anything. Firefox 10.0 works, however.
After setup, install a version of Firefox. For me, 10.0 worked fine for me. Mypal does not work and so does any other modern version of Firefox (even the latest one that supports XP!)
