Windows XP build 2276

Windows XP build 2276 is a build of Windows XP, which was uploaded online in late October 2000.

New features and changes

 * Setup has received major updates for the run-up to the official Beta 1. It includes a blue Watercolor design instead of the Windows Me design from build 2250 to build 2267.
 * Windows Media Player has been updated to version 7, as with Windows Me.
 * Internet Explorer has been updated to a beta version of Internet Explorer 6. However, the version branding still labels Internet Explorer 5.6.
 * The "About Program" banners have been slightly updated to have the Windows logo be more fluent in appearance. The login screensaver also shows the SKU of the build.
 * The start button has also been updated, resembling the old Windows 2000 design instead of the one from build 2257 and build 2267.
 * This build is the first to have the new Help and Support Center fully replace the classic Help, which would eventually remain in the RTM albeit redesigned. Alongside, compatibility mode debuts in this build; but instead of being a setting in the properties of an application, it is a launcher from Help and Support Center.
 * This is the first build to no longer launch the Network Identification Wizard after a clean install.
 * Category View for Control Panel has been revamped and Control Panel includes a new Text to Speech applet.
 * The OOBE now includes a mouse tutorial for new users.
 * This is the first build to include the "Windows Whistler" animation at the start of the OOBE. Althrough the intro animation is now a video file, in Windows Me, it is a Flash-based animation file.
 * The "Personal Start Menu" name has been changed to "Simple Start Menu".
 * The logged-in user's name is shown on the Start menu. The shutdown and logoff buttons are fixed when the theme is set to Professional.
