It is the last build to include the "Professional Standard, "Professional Standard N" and the "Professional Enterprise" SKUs.

Setup
Setup is practically similar to aforementioned builds of Vista, however the "Next" button is now much larger. The EULA has also been updated, and the wallpaper of the OOBE is essentially the same aurora wallpaper used in the first 2 stages of setup. Finally, the orb used during the OOBE has been changed with the start button orb, and it is positioned higher. You can even click on the orb, which has the same functionality as the finish button on the bottom-right.
