The Windows Longhorn concept, dated 2003. Project failed.

Longhorn concept
It was ment to be released much earlier than Vista.
It was supposed to be much better than 7, atleast after looks and performance.
Microsoft, you dissapointed us. We lost atleast 10 years of progress with your failure.
"Restarted" the project eh? And all we get is Windows Vista at the end! (they restarted the project in the middle due to the OS being too "buggy".. wait, aren't all of their OSes buggy? -.-)
Oh well. You can find beta builds on the web to try it yourself. Some of the builds are actually good enough for daily use, but you must use Windows XP compatibility at all times and you've barely got anything out of the Longhorn GUI.

The vid starts with a preview of the history of Windows, then... What "could've" happened.

(Off-topic: I feel so at home with old stuff. Windows 95 is all teh ftw for me)
