Leftovers
This build's installation media includes left over files from the Workstation SKU of this build. One notable file is  which has been modified by Windows NT developers. Stephen Chapman said the following on the BetaArchive Discord server about this graphic:

"As it turns out, I know the guy who made that background, as well as the story behind it. There was a weekend coding crunch that he and the other few devs involved called "Arbiter Weekend 2". That wallpaper is from that specific one. They were, "rewriting the resource arbiter for the PNP subsystem." The image is of Feathers McGraw from a frame of the movie, "Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers". Finally, "arbiterrific" was a pun involving a play on words with them making the arbiter terrific instead of "a bit horrific"."

Bugs
Setup will ask for the Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM if certain network options are selected, but as the CD-ROM is Server, you will not be able to complete installation of these components.
