Windows Longhorn build 4053

Windows Longhorn build 4053 (with a build tag of 4053.main.031022-1720) is a Milestone 7 build of the Microsoft Windows "Longhorn" operating system. The build is reported to have leaked on 2004-03-01.

Minimum system requires include a 500Mhz Pentium 3 processor, and 256 MB of RAM. WinFS is included with this build.

Networking support has been improved from 4051, and issues with icons have been fixed. The 'start' text on the start button is back, having been absent in 4042 to 4051 but removed again in 4074 and 4093 (although it was present in 4083).

Issues

 * The normal method of creating user accounts does not work in this build. However, accounts can still be created with the control userpasswords2 command.
 * The History feature of Internet Explorer does not work.
 * The MFU list of the Windows Start menu resets itself after every reboot.
 * If a menu overlaps with the Windows Sidebar, it may remove the Sidebar gradient located under the overlapped area. To correct this, resize a Sidebar Tile over the affected area, and return it to its original size.
 * If Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer stop responding, the classic title bar may be seen.
 * In Outlook 2003, when you click on “Personal Folders”, it displays the HTML source of Outlook Today instead of the rendered page.
