Windows 2000 build 1631 is a pre-beta build of Windows 2000. It is the last build to use the Windows NT 4.0 startup sound and to warn that the upgrade function has not been tested against Windows 95 OSR2 when upgrading from it.

Changes

 * There is a new Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet, which - unlike the original one - is a wizard with options to add, remove and repair a program.
