Windows XP build 2296 is the official Beta 1 build of Windows XP that was released to testers on 31 October 2000. It has no major interface changes from build 2287, however the setup text while upgrading is changed for the official Beta 1, and this build now has a Readme file on the desktop.

Pinning apps on Start menu
Apps that are pinned to the Start menu cannot be removed, even if they are attempted to be removed via right clicking the icon and selecting "Remove from This List".

Login screen
If the user upgrades to this build, the login screen's font will change to Arial instead of the correct font on the first boot. It will load the correct font upon rebooting the system.
