Windows XP build 2202

Build 2202 is an early build of Windows XP from 2000-02. This build identifies as SD Windows 2000 Professional, where SD refers to the Source Depot version control system that Microsoft was deploying at the time, which supported the management of several separate build labs.

Upon the build's release, there has been a dispute on whether is it a post-RTM build of Windows 2000 or a very early build of Whistler. Many system files of this build contain strings beginning with, an obvious reference to Neptune. Considering this build has been compiled only after the cancellation of the Neptune project, it seems logical to assume that NTC2 refers to Whistler. The Additional Drivers dialog in the Printers control panel also contains options for "Windows 2001" in AXP64 and IA64 environment, which rules out the possibility of this build to be a post-RTM build of Windows 2000.

The unmodified version of this build can't be installed via booting from the CD due to a BSOD error during setup. To install, the user must use a Windows boot disk, partition/format the drive, and then run setup from there. The modified version fixes this BSOD error, but replaces mentions of "Windows 2000" during the TXT setup to "Whistler".

Drivers
VMware graphics drivers newer than version 7 cannot be installed on this build since they cause a BSoD at resolutions higher than 640x480.

Stability
This build can randomly crash and doesn't really have a very good graphics rendering engine as sometimes windows that are closed will still appear on desktop.

Closing Windows
Sometimes, the regular method of closing windows doesn't work. Windows have to be closed by right clicking on the taskbar and closing them.
