Windows NT 6.0

Windows NT 6.0 (codename Oceanus) was the next release in the NT line of Windows OS' following Windows NT 5.2. Released on September 7, 2004, the OS was mainly based for Workstations and Servers. The OS later was reissued under the names Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 in January 2007 and February 2008 respectively.
== Development ==
In 2002, Microsoft was working on Codename Longhorn, based on Windows XP's kernel at the time. The Windows NT development team worked on the respective version, 6.0.
The first known Windows NT 6.0 build was compiled on January 5, 2003. It was basically the same as Windows NT 5.1 & NT 5.2, however with Longhorn's kernel, some Longhorn features and the build number 3520. It possessed the Plex theme in later builds. Later, with the Start button modification in Longhorn, the Start button logo was changed to Longhorn's current one, however it was not zoomed in. With the Desktop Composition Engine in development, it was supposed to be slimmed down, so the DCE and Windows Sidebar were not included by default. Later with the introduction of Slate (Windows NT 6.0 Beta 1), the Start button icon stayed at the left with text and the colored logo again, without a centered logo. Jade was also included in Windows NT 6.0 Beta 2. The RTM build, 4800, was released on August 8, 2004 and would be available one month later. 
== Features ==
=== Setup ===
Setup has a similar appearance to Longhorn and Vista builds from the time, however you can select individual features to install during Setup, like with Windows 9x. Of course, this can be done after Setup using the Add/Remove Windows Features unit of Control Panel.
=== Appearance ===
Windows NT 6.0 has a similar appearance to Longhorn builds. The Desktop Window Manager isn't included by default, not even in the features to add/remove, but it's capable of running it through some modifications.
