Windows XP Media Center Edition build 2600.1050

Windows XP Media Center Edition build 2600.1050 is the earliest available build of Windows XP Media Center Edition. It was scene leaked on 19 October 2002 as a folder dump of the C:\WINDOWS\ehome folder. Due to this, this build does not contain any Freestyle branding, however, the branding itself can be found in Windows XP build 2600.1050 for some parts, such as boot screen, banners, etc. This build requires a TV card, or else it will be unable to start, although a patched executable is also available.

Unlike later builds, Media Center is called "Windows Remote View" in this build, but in titlebar, the name "Freestyle Preview" is used.

Bugs
Even with the patch applied, this build tends to be unstable and can crash easily. Notable examples include:
 * The My TV section crashes the application, due to a missing TV card.
 * The OOBE needs to be skipped, or else it will crash.
