Windows Vista：修订间差异

Little is known about the period between August 2004 and April 2005, which has also been dubbed "D1" or "Milestone 9", during which time Microsoft tried to get development back on track, but what is known is that Microsoft continued to work on WinFX (shipping a community technology preview version for Windows XP and Server 2003 systems in November 2004), and further distributed builds to core partners such as [[w:ATI Technologies|ATI]] and [[w:Nvidia|Nvidia]] (as evidenced by a December 2004 ATI presentation mentioning Longhorn, and the existence of LDDM drivers in build 5048). It is also during this period that Microsoft began development on [[Internet Explorer 7]]. After the release of Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft ceased development on Internet Explorer, opting instead to simply maintain it while [[w:Mozilla|Mozilla]] and other competitors crept ahead. Internet Explorer 7 became a headline feature of Longhorn and was first shown at the RSA conference in February 2005.

A preliminary [[Windows Vista build 5048|developer preview build]] was released to attendees of the WinHEC 2005 conference on 25 April 2005<ref>Thurrott, Paul.

DirectX 10 (then known as Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0) was also announced at WinHEC. The earliest available leaked build after the developer preview was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was soon released to the public after having slipped from February to June to July, showcasing further progress on the operating system's planned feature set and many stability improvements over [[Windows XP|its predecessor]], alongside an early version of the [[Windows Aero]] user interface. Over the course of two years, many builds were released to testers through the public ''Community Technology Preview'' program; the final build pushed out to public preview testers was [[Windows Vista build 5744|Release Candidate 2 (build 5744)]]. The RTM build was [[Windows Vista build 6000.16386|build 6000.16386]], compiled on 1 November 2006 and released to manufacturing on 8 November 2006. The operating system finally reached general availability on 30 January 2007, and it was met with increasingly negative consumer reception in part due to significant mismanagement in the ''Windows Vista Capable'' program (itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit,<ref name="CW Class-Action Upgrade">Keizer, Gregg.
