Windows XP build 2481 (idx01)

Windows XP build 2481 (idx01) is a build of Windows XP which was shared on 29 June 2022. Unlike the previous compile of this build, this build was not officially released to beta testers.

The build number is mentioned at the closing Q&As during the Windows XP Expert Zone event when discussing the Homestead and Metallic themes. Build 2480 is also mentioned. Prior to this build being shared, screenshots of this build were taken by Paul Thurrott, which showed the build tag.

"I think you saw Metallic and Homestead today. They come in, they'll be in, not the next IDW which should be 2475. That'll be in 2480, maybe 81, depending on a couple of things and when a couple of things come in."
