Changes

 * Added icons to the window menu.
 * Updated "The Microsoft Network".
 * The "Scanners and Cameras" Control Panel applet again received a new icon.

Setup

 * Changed the font used in setup from Times New Roman and Microsoft Sans Serif to Arial.
 * When first booted into this build, a solid blue color as seen in the RTM is set as wallpaper instead of the previously used Windows logo.
 * When entering Setup with the EULA, the time indicator now reports 43 minutes instead of 25, due to it now also being available in the second stage of Setup. Previously, the place where the indicator should be was left blank due to it being already set to 0 when the first stage was completed.
 * "Setup Steps" in the sidebar is now colored white instead of red and the time indicator yellow instead of green.

Installation
The setup on this build has a  that isn't recognized by setup all the time and causes setup to crash on most emulators except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of their CPU core. To patch this build to run on any emulator, use a  from an earlier build or the RTM.
