Windows 2000 build 1946

Windows 2000 build 1946.1 is the official Beta 3 Release Candidate 0 build of Windows 2000. The Server edition of this build was shared online as well, but is missing several archive parts and is thus incomplete.

New features and changes

 * This is the first known build to introduce Windows 2000 branding, although the name of Windows NT 5.0 is still referenced in various places.
 * It is the first known build since 1592 to use Tahoma as the default font for the user interface.
 * The appearance of  has been changed massively, now featuring a banner with the Windows version and SKU instead of the Windows NT logo. Despite this, the copyright date remains 1981-1997 despite being built nearly at the end of 1998, a change that first took effect way back in build 1515. The copyright date would finally be updated in build 1983.
 * It is no longer possible to change screen resolution and color depth during Setup as the page to configure these settings has been removed.
 * This build introduces new startup and shutdown sounds which were used until build 1969, as well as a new login prompt, which persisted until Windows Vista build 5048.
