Windows Me build 2332.2

Windows Me build 2332.2 is the earliest released build of Windows Me. This build was released to developers on 23 July 1999, and is well known for containing 29 files from the Windows Neptune project. Although this build has a new first boot screen, there is no actual boot screen after setup.

New features and changes

 * The user interface has received notable updates, particularly the web view is now based on Windows 2000 instead of Windows 98. Likewise, the Control Panel side links now contain links to Windows Updates and Windows 2000 Support.
 * The Start Menu is updated to have the Windows Millennium branding.
 * Most of the system icons (such as My Computer and Recycle Bin) have been updated to the ones from Windows 2000.
 * This build has already removed the ability to boot into DOS mode.
 * All dialog boxes include an additional "Survey..." option to send a bug report to the development team.
 * The safe to shutdown screen has been temporarily changed to use a text mode modal dialog in order to show information about this build's ACPI and APM implementation. If ACPI is disabled, a chime beep will play out of the system speaker before the modal dialog appears.

Bugs

 * USB support is very glitchy with this build, older drivers may not install, while drivers compatible with later versions of the operating system have chances of crashing.
