 * A new login screen is utilized, replacing the Windows XP login screen.
 * Windows Explorer has been written in .NET managed code, although this often causes memory leaks and frequent crashes.

 * Parental Controls is updated to now restrict games that are rated higher than a specfic ESRB rating.
 * This build includes Libraries. The libraries included is the Photo and Video Library, Music Library, and Game Library; the latter doesn't work. It was later introduced in Windows 7.

Bugs and quirks

 * The hardware setup tends to hang easily, after a while, you can press Shift+F10 to open the Command Prompt. Then, run  and terminate the process   to log in.
 * Password hints have no effect on this build as the new login screen has no option to show a hint.

Installation
Most copies of this build's CD are not bootable due to corruption, since it results in an "NTLDR is missing" error. If booting from the installation media only results in an "NTLDR is missing" error, it can only be upgraded from an earlier build.

Memory leak
Windows Explorer has several memory leaks which can make this build difficult to use. Turning off the Sidebar will usually stop these memory leaks.
