Windows XP build 2410 (main)

Windows XP build 2410 (with a build tag of 2410.main.001208-1937) is the first leaked Pre-Beta 2 build of Windows XP. Unlike the previous builds, it requires a product key.

Changes from build 2296

 * Support for VESA BIOS extensions has been introduced in the built-in VGA driver, which enables high color and true color modes without additional drivers as long as a VBE-compatible graphics adapter is present. This also means that the Setup and Safe Mode are running in the highest color depth supported.


 * Several applications have been updated, such as Internet Explorer is 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.


 * The "Whistler" wallpaper is set by default.


 * The Professional theme has been renamed to Watercolor.


 * The Sample Test Visual Style has been added in two variants, which is available in two variants called Chartreuse Mongoose and Blue Lagoon.


 * New icons, which would later be shipped with the final version, have been introduced.
