In the first few paragraphs of the article it mentions
> The project, however, failed completely and development had to reset. More than three years late Microsoft released Windows Code Name 'Longhorn' as Windows Vista.

I did. I also worked at Microsoft during the years in question.
edit in response to your edit: The project was restarted. Longhorn and its three pillars were essentially thrown out. Windows Vista was rebuilt from scratch on top of Windows Server 2003. I assume they chose to keep the same codename so as to reduce confusion. But that doesn't mean it was the same OS.

Is this incorrect, or not the full story?
edit: less confrontational
