Windows XP build 2410 (main)

With this build we enter the pre-Beta 2 stage. It is unknown why Microsoft skipped the 23xx builds to go straight to 24xx. Notably it refers to itself as Beta 2 during setup.

There is now a product key and a new wallpaper. The Watercolor visual style is kept, however there are two new themes under 'Sample Test Visual Style' that are referred to as 'Chartreuse Mongoose' and 'Blue Lagoon'.

Several apps have been updated, such as Internet Explorer being updated to 6.0 beta 2 (which calls itself 6.0 rather than 5.60 in the about box), Windows Media Player 8 (as included in the RTM) and Windows Messenger 3 and System Restore from Windows ME.
