'''Windows Vista''' (codenamed ''Longhorn'') is an operating system by [[Microsoft]], released to manufacturing on 8 November 2006<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/2006/11/08/qa-windows-vista-released-to-manufacturing/</ref> and general availability on 30 January 2007. It is the seventh operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows XP]] and preceding [[Windows 7]]. It had one of the longest development periods in Microsoft's history starting in May 2001 and continuing until November 2006, since its development was reset in mid-2004.<br />
<br />
This is the first version of Windows that lacks support for systems without ACPI, as it will display a black screen with error messages when launched.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The Longhorn project started in earnest in May 2001, originally intended as a bridging release between [[Windows XP|Whistler]] and the later version of Windows codenamed [[Windows Blackcomb|Blackcomb]] (reference to the bar between two mountains in British Columbia, Canada). As development progressed, many features slated for Blackcomb became part of Longhorn, and employees jumped ship from other parts of the company, turning into a major version rather than the minor version it was initially planned as. After an initially quiet development cycle, the first build to leak publicly was [[Windows Longhorn build 3683|build 3683]], which contained a new theme called [[Plex]], as well as the foundations for [[WinFS]], a subsystem that aimed to bring benefits of relational databases to filesystem storage, and Avalon, a new vector-based user interface framework.<br />
<br />
As development progressed before the reset, Longhorn became a heavily bloated and unstable piece of vaporware, with release dates being pushed back on several occasions. Many components were extended using the still relatively new .NET Framework and Managed C++. Stability increasingly became an issue as development progressed, and very few builds were publicly released as a result. Only two builds were distributed at conferences and to developers: [[Windows Longhorn build 4051|build 4051]] and [[Windows Longhorn build 4074|build 4074]]. The last confirmed build prior to the development reset is [[Windows Longhorn build 4093|build 4093]].<br />
<br />
On 19 August 2004, the same day as the compilation of 4093, Microsoft reset the development of Windows Longhorn and started fresh using [[Windows Server 2003|Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1]] as a codebase, starting the Omega-13 period. Immediate post-reset builds were primarily focused on reintegrating features from the pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. Most of these builds are similar to [[Windows XP]] in the overall look and feel. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise. Development of Longhorn continued, albeit many features originally slated for inclusion were delayed or dropped to produce a more realistic set of goals for the OS. Examples of said features include WinFS and Castles.<br />
<br />
In April 2005, [[Windows Vista build 5048|build 5048]] was released to testers on WinHEC 2005. This build showed the progress made since the reset and also proved much more stable than previous builds, despite some concern from insiders of the era. The first leaked build after development reset was done was [[Windows Vista build 5098|5098]]. [[Windows Vista build 5112|Build 5112]] (Beta 1) was released to the public soon afterward in July and showcased an early version of the Aero interface, as well as many stability improvements over [[Windows XP]]. Later that year and the next year, many builds were released to testers in a public beta program, with builds dubbed as "Community Technology Previews" (CTPs). The final build that was pushed out to public preview testers was [[Windows Vista build 5744|Release Candidate 2 (build 5744)]]. The RTM build was [[Windows Vista build 6000.16386|build 6000.16386]], compiled on 8 November 2006. Windows Vista finally reached General Availability on 30 January 2007.<br />
<br />
==Naming==<br />
Several product names for the Longhorn project were presented to Microsoft in the lead-up to the final release of the operating system; the final name of the operating system, ''Windows Vista'', was officially unveiled on 22 July 2005. Greg Sullivan informed Paul Thurrott about how the name Vista focused around the premise of wanting "the PC to adapt you" and aimed in "bringing clarity to your world"; the operating system was intended to be marketed with the terms "Connected, Clear and Confident". Microsoft vice president Jim Allchin expressed his enthusiasm for the product name, stating that it created the "right imagery for the new product capabilities".<ref name="rtg04">Thurrott, Paul. [https://web.archive.org/web/20061109161221/https://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_roadtogold_04.asp Road to Gold: The Long Road to Windows Vista; Part 4: January - July 2005]. November 1, 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
The earliest known build to use the final name is [[Windows Vista build 5112|build 5112]], and the final build to have any traces of the Longhorn codename is [[Windows Vista build 5284 (vbl media ehome)|build 5284]].<br />
<br />
== Main changes==<br />
The new Aero user interface has been introduced, which included large design changes to many of the built-in apps. Microsoft also encouraged third party developers to make their applications consistent with Aero, with the company for the first time producing a definite set of design guidelines that included advice ranging from icon design to text wording. Compared to previous versions, Aero icons are more skeuomorphic and realistic in design, as well as scale better at higher zoom levels due to larger icon sizes being supported.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of the user interface was the hardware-accelerated [[Windows Aero]] theme. This was made possible by the new [[Desktop Window Manager]], a compositing window manager that works hand in hand with the also new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for eye candy such as Aero Glass or Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were common for previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the frame's color, which is not possible for themes that are not composited. Live taskbar thumbnails have also been introduced, which show the preview of a window when hovered over its button in the taskbar.<br />
<br />
For systems that relied on older drivers made for Windows XP, Vista also included the [[Windows Basic]] style, which used the older XP-style theme engine, as well as still included the [[Windows Classic]] theme that disabled theming altogether.<br />
<br />
The licensing subsystem has been completely rewritten in Windows Vista. This allowed Microsoft to define licensing restrictions for each SKU more easily and systemically using product policies, rather than hardcoding them in the kernel or using hooks for core system components. Product policies are used to limit the maximum amount of RAM, number of processors, as well as the availability of user interface options such as the Aero theme or transparency.<br />
<br />
Networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista. The new stack model includes IPv6 support, completely overhauled IPv4 and TCP/IP stacks and improves peer-to-peer connectivity.<br />
<br />
Other notable changes include the introduction of Internet Explorer 7, a newly redesigned version of [[Windows Media Center]], Windows Media Player 11, Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, redesigned games, Windows Boot Manager and more.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
Windows Vista was shipped in a number of editions. Unlike [[Windows XP]], there were no special editions for Media Center, 64-bit capabilities and Tablet PCs since these features were included in at least one of the consumer editions. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version, perhaps due to the considerable grunt required to run optimally.<br />
<br />
*''Starter'': This edition is intended for emerging markets and low-cost PCs. Like its predecessor, the three-program limit was included, and a maximum limitation of 1GB installable RAM is imposed. Other software restrictions were applied as well; hence, this version is hence not available in 64-bit. This edition is the only edition of Vista that does not have [[Desktop Window Manager]] and [[HotStart|Windows HotStart]] enabled. Only [[Windows XP Starter Edition]] can upgrade to Windows Vista Starter.<br />
*''Home Basic'': Found in low-cost to mid-end computers, this version of Windows Vista does not feature complete Aero (though it includes [[Desktop Window Manager|DWM]] functionality) and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center, Windows DVD Maker and various backup features are also not present in this edition. Unlike the Starter edition, it does not have the hardware and 3-program limitations.<br />
*''Home Premium'': The consumer version of Windows Vista. This version includes full Aero functionality, Windows Media Center, Premium Games (e.g.: Inkball, Purble Place) and various WMP11 audio decoders. However, it lacks the BitLocker and Complete PC Backup functionalities.<br />
*''Business'': A business-oriented version of Windows Vista, it contains several features like full RDP (client/host) capability, Group Policy, domain joinability and Windows Fax and Scan. However, Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default. For the embedded market, there's a sub-edition called "Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems".<br />
*''Enterprise'': A business-oriented variant of Windows Vista. It is similar to Ultimate, but does not include consumer-specific features such as Windows Media Center and Parental Controls. Rather, it includes enterprise-specific tools, Windows Fax and Scan and Windows Services for UNIX. This edition is only available to customers who participated in the Microsoft Software Assurance program.<br />
*''Ultimate'': The high-end variant of Windows Vista. It is a merger of the features included with Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. BitLocker is included in this version. This edition also allows the user to install "Windows Ultimate Extras", which is a set of addons that include games, sound schemes, animated wallpapers (referred to as Windows DreamScene), BitLocker and additional Windows Marketplace enhancements.<br />
**A version of Windows Vista Ultimate, named "Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems", was also sold to the embedded computer market.<br />
**Another sub-edition of Vista Ultimate called "Windows Vista Product Red" was related to the "Product Red" campaign, which aids in supporting global funding for research on the AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria diseases. This version includes extra Product Red-themed wallpapers, gadgets and a special theme.<br />
<br />
== Sound scheme myth ==<br />
No build of Windows Vista (including pre-reset) used or even included the widespread sound scheme that appears in several fanmade Longhorn or Vista themes, which appears to be a sound scheme titled "Deep Fantasy", which was commercially available on NEO Sounds, a stock sound/music website, until 2006. The Windows XP sounds remain and are used in all pre-reset builds, with a few being swapped with Vista sounds between builds [[Windows Vista build 5466|5466]] and [[Windows Vista build 5840.16384|5840.16384]].<br />
<br />
The alleged [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HU5aWBoWog Windows Vista Beta 1 startup] is actually <code>WELCOMESEQUENCE.WAV</code> used in the Speech Recognition tutorial in build [[Windows Vista build 5308.6|5308.6]] and onwards. Likewise, the alleged [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A0dGe__6Ik Windows Vista Beta 2 startup] is actually a jingle used in Vista Beta 2 Help video outros.<br />

'''Windows XP''' (codenamed ''Whistler'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released to manufacturing on 24 August 2001 and general availability on 25 October 2001. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows 2000]] and preceding [[Windows Vista]]. It also succeeded [[Windows Me]] after the end of the [[Windows 9x]] kernel. It is one of Microsoft's longest-lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still runs on 0.67% of desktop and laptop computers worldwide as of September 2021.<ref>https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202101-202101-bar</ref> It is also the last version of Windows that supports computers without ACPI.<br />
<br />
Even though extended support ended on 8 April 2014, a total of three out-of-band updates were serviced to the operating system fixing the following issues:<br />
*a high-risk Internet Explorer vulnerability; released in 2014<br />
*mitigations for the ETERNALBLUE SMB vulnerability, notably used by the WannaCry ransomware; released in 2017<br />
*mitigations for the BlueKeep RDP vulnerability; released in 2019<br />
<br />
Windows XP lost full support on 31 August 2019.<br />
<br />
==Main changes==<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
Windows XP recieved a major UI overhaul during development through the introduction of visual styles. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, [[Luna]]. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green, and silver. Users could still select the [[Windows Classic]] theme from previous versions of Windows ([[Windows 2000|2000]], [[Windows Me|Me]], and earlier), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.<br />
<br />
The introduction of ClearType, an anti-aliasing font function allowed easier text reading on desktop computers with LCD-TFT monitors and laptops but also affected CRT monitors.<br />
<br />
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Starter Edition|Starter Edition]]''': This version was intended for emerging markets, and was introduced in 2004, meant for low-cost PCs. It cannot launch more than 3 programs at a time and won't recognize more than 512MB of RAM.<br />
*'''Home Edition''': This edition is for home and personal users who don't need to use corporate network, security, and management features (such as joining domain networks, file encryption, Remote Desktop Connection, group policies, etc.) This version can address up to 4 GB of RAM, and it only supports a single physical processor (though multiple cores and threads are supported).<br />
*'''Professional''': This is the mainstream high-end version, sold along with the ''Home Edition''. It supports up to two physical processors.<br />
**'''[[Windows XP 64-Bit Edition|64-Bit Edition]]''': This was a special edition for Itanium-based computers. There were two releases, the first of which was based on Windows XP and the second of which was based on [[Windows Server 2003]].<br />
**'''[[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Professional x64 Edition]]''': This was the version for x86-64 processors based on Windows Server 2003.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Media Center Edition|Media Center Edition]]''': This version is especially for Media Center-based PCs, and is not sold normally. System requirements are significantly higher than in other editions. This version includes [[Windows Media Center]] and new themes and [[Microsoft Plus!]] features such as [[Royale]].<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Embedded|Embedded]]''': This version is intended for the embedded sector.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Tablet PC Edition|Tablet PC Edition]]''': This version was included in tablet computers from 2002-2006. It is the tablet-optimized version of Windows XP.<br />
*'''N, K and KN editions''': The N version was made for the European markets and did not include Windows Media Player; the K version was made for the South Korean markets and included two shortcuts to Korean websites offering media player and messenger software by default, after a South Korean Fair Trade Commission ruling. The KN edition is the Korean counterpart to the N edition.<br />

It was the initial branding given to the version before the European Commission had ordered Microsoft to change the name as it was deemed not appealing to consumers.<ref name="NRME1">Eris, Jovers.

==Myths and legends==<br />
No builds of Whistler ever used or even included the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIUhPU8Adc widespread startup and shutdown sounds]. These originate from a Whistler theme from ThemeWorld, which includes an entire sound scheme of sounds from various sources such as [[Microsoft Plus! 98]], although these are not widespread. The fake startup sound was made using [[Windows 98]]'s shutdown sound reversed, [[Windows 2000 build 1983.1]] to build [[Windows 2000 build 2000.3|2000.3]]'s startup sound reversed, and the Next Level sound from a game titled Spring Weekend included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack, while the shutdown sound came from BeOS albeit downsampled. <br />
<br />
In reality, all builds up until [[Windows XP build 2485|2485]] use the same sounds as Windows 2000 and Me. Build [[Windows XP build 2481|2481]] introduced the sounds used in the final release (albeit in stereo and 44khz), but they were not used by default at this point.<br />
<br />
==Source code leak==<br />
On 23 September 2020, the source code for the RTM builds of [[Windows XP build 2600.1106|Windows XP Service Pack 1]] and [[Windows Server 2003 build 3790|Windows Server 2003]] leaked on 4chan's /g/ board. As mentioned on the original post, the code had been circulating in private circles for several years at most. Due to the incompleteness of both source code repositories, primarily within the activation functionalities, it is fair to assume that the disclosure had originated from a Microsoft Partner who had access to the source code rather than Microsoft themselves. The ability to glance into the groundwork of this operating system has led to some discoveries, an example being the checks for enabling the DirectUI-based Start Page from <code>shell\explorer\tray.cpp</code> being usable in [[Windows XP build 2410 (main)|build 2410]].<br />

<br />
'''Windows 8''' is an operating system developed by Microsoft. It is the ninth major release in the Windows NT operating system line, replacing [[Windows 7]] and being later replaced by [[Windows 8.1]]. It reached RTM on 1 August 2012 and was released to general availability on 26 October 2012. Windows 8 was one of the most short-lived releases, and its support ended on 12 January 2016, as extended support was in favor of Windows 8.1.<br />
<br />
This is the first version of Windows to drop support for processors without PAE, SSE2 and NX, as running on these processors will display a black screen with error code 0x05D, and is the last version of 64-bit Windows to support processors without the CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW and LAHF/SAHF instructions.<br />
<br />
It is the first client release of Windows to drop the traditional Service Pack mechanism in favor of releasing updates in smaller chunks on a continual basis. <br />
<br />
== Editions ==<br />
Windows 8 comes in the following editions:<br />
* '''Windows 8''' (also known as Core) is the base edition intended for the average home user.<br />
** '''Windows RT''' is a version of Windows 8 for ARM-based tablets. Compared to other editions, it can only launch Windows Store apps and signed Microsoft desktop applications, otherwise it's identical to Core.<br />
** '''Windows 8 Single Language''' is same as Core but limited to a single installed language pack.<br />
** '''Windows 8 China''' (also known as Core Country Specific) is same as Single Language but only allows the Simplified Chinese language pack to be installed. This is a special variant targeting the mainland China market.<br />
* '''Windows 8 Pro''' is targeted at enthusiast and business markets. Compared to Core, it adds the ability to run Hyper-V virtual machines, receive RDP connections and BitLocker support.<br />
** '''Windows 8 Pro with Media Center''' is a variant of Pro that also includes the Windows Media Center.<br />
* '''Windows 8 Enterprise''' is designed for large organizations and can only be activated with a KMS server or MAK keys. It has the same feature set as Pro but additionally supports creating [[Windows to Go]] portable workspaces.<br />
<br />
== Main changes ==<br />
=== Interface ===<br />
Windows 8 was largely designed for use on touchscreen devices such as tablets, and this can be seen all across the OS, with includes bigger buttons, more distinct colors, and a more modern interface with the removal of [[Windows Aero|Aero]] transparency on open windows. The taskbar is still transparent, even though it doesn't blur anything behind it anymore. The renewal of the classic Windows shell was accompanied by the addition of the Metro interface, which includes a new Start menu (named Start screen), with a full-screen UI replacing the smaller Start menu first introduced in [[Windows 95]]. From the Start screen, Metro apps can be launched, which can take the entire screen, providing an immersive interface, or be snapped to a side of the screen alongside another application or the desktop. The File Explorer also got a renewal, with the introduction of the Ribbon UI first seen in [[Windows 7]]. The Up button, which was absent since [[Windows Longhorn build 3670]] (except for builds 3790.1232, 5000 and 5001), has been readded and the details pane is now vertical.<br />
<br />
The Metro UI is directly integrated with the desktop, which features hot corners: positioning the mouse in certain parts of the screen will reveal new functionality. The right side features the Charms Bar, a vertical bar that includes Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings as buttons. Right-clicking on the bottom left corner of the screen opens the Quick Link menu, which contains shortcuts to frequently used areas.<br />
<br />
Windows 8 was the first Windows operating system ever since [[Windows NT 3.51]] to have no Start button. Although the last build of Windows 8 to have the Start button by default was [[Windows 8 build 8176|8176]], it is possible to remove the Start button from the taskbar, on builds [[Windows 8 build 7899|7899]] to [[Windows 8 build 7997|7997]]. To accomplish this, you need to make a new DWORD in <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer</code> called <code>YouBettaHideYoPearl</code>, with its value set to 1. After doing so, log off and log back in. If done correctly, the Start button should be removed.<br />
<br />
[[Desktop Window Manager]] now renders using a software-based 3D rasterizer when such an accelerator is unavailable. Additionally, the [[Windows Classic]] and [[Windows Basic]] themes have been removed. Although the visual styles still exist, they cannot be enabled by default unless the user modifies the system files.<br />
<br />
Progress windows have been modified to remove the animation on the top and make it possible to view "more details", including a graph for tracking transfer speeds. It is also possible to pause file transfer operations.<br />
<br />
Notifications have been updated to be more noticeable, as they appear on the right of the screen and are the same color as the current theme.<br />
<br />
=== Task Manager ===<br />
The [[Task Manager]] now opens up in a simple view which only displays a list of open programs and not processes. Expanding the view reveals a modernized and improved version of the classic Task Manager, featuring tabs and a bigger focus on memory usage.<br />
<br />
=== Windows Store ===<br />
Windows Store allows the consumer to distribute and download Metro apps or advertise desktop software. The Windows Store would later be redesigned in [[Windows 8.1]]. The Store was called "MSHelp" in builds before 8032. The Windows Store would later be rebranded as the Microsoft Store in September 2017 as an update for [[Windows 10]].<br />
<br />
=== Media Center ===<br />
Unlike [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows 7]], [[Windows Media Center]] is not included by default in any Windows 8 edition by default. Customers with existing Windows 8 Pro licenses can purchase Media Center with the Windows 8 Pro Pack, which was free previously under a promotional offer (until 31 January 2013).<br />
<br />
=== Display language support ===<br />
Microsoft offered 109 display languages in Windows 8,<ref>Sinofsky, Steven.

== Timebomb ==<br />
Similar to other Windows releases, Windows 8 beta builds include a [[timebomb]] which triggers after about 180 days (although this does fluctuate between builds) from the build's official compile date (see the build's information page for the compile and timebomb activation dates).<br />
<br />
However, some beta builds contain a broken timebomb. This means that they can be installed on the current date, without triggering the timebomb. Some of these builds include [[Windows 8 build 7746|build 7746]] through [[Windows 8 build 8888 (win8 gdr soc intel)|8888 (win8 gdr soc intel)]]. However, installing these builds on the current date renders Windows unactivated, disabling the ability to both access the personalization options in Settings and the ability to change the desktop wallpaper in the Control Panel (unless done so with third-party tools such as DeskImg or ProductPolicyEditor).<br />

'''Windows 2000''' (known as ''Windows NT 5.0'' during development) is an NT-based version of Windows released by Microsoft. It succeeded [[Windows NT 4.0]]. Its Professional SKU was replaced by [[Windows XP]], while its Server SKUs were replaced by [[Windows Server 2003]]. Windows 2000 was the last NT-based Windows product before the unification of the Windows NT and DOS-based line. It reached general availability on 17 February 2000 after releasing to manufacturing two months prior on 15 December 1999. Windows 2000 targeted both the high-end consumer market, as well as server and business markets. Multiple SKUs were made for both client and server uses, albeit the user interface remains largely the same. Even though Windows 2000 was intended mainly for use in businesses unlike [[Windows Me]] (which was more targeted at home users), many home users ended up buying the Professional SKU of Windows 2000 during the time due to the highly significant issues that plagued the original release of Windows Me.<br />
<br />
During the course of its support, four Service Packs and an update rollup were released for Windows 2000. Microsoft had originally intended to release a fifth service pack for Windows 2000, but eventually canceled it, and in 2005 instead released the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, a collection of all the security-related hotfixes and some other significant issues. The Update Rollup does not include all non-security related hotfixes and is not subjected to the same extensive regression testing as a full-service pack. Microsoft states that this update will meet customers' needs better than a whole new service pack, and will still help Windows 2000 customers secure their PCs, reduce support costs, and support existing computer hardware. Microsoft ceased support for Windows 2000 on 13 July 2010, over ten years since its release.<br />

==Naming==<br />
[[File:1371 46.png|thumb|right|200px|Slide from an internal Microsoft presentation discussing the naming of Windows 2000]]<br />
Prior to the final announcement, Windows 2000 was called Windows NT 5.0 both in marketing materials and the operating system builds themselves. On 27 October 1998, Microsoft announced the renaming of the Windows NT 5.0 product line to Windows 2000, which according to Microsoft reflects the growing mainstream role of Windows NT.<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/1998/10/27/microsoft-renames-windows-nt-5-0-product-line-to-windows-2000-signals-evolution-of-windows-nt-technology-into-mainstream/</ref> The name continues the year-based naming scheme for consumer-oriented versions of Windows, which started with [[Windows 95]]. This reflected the initial plan for Windows 2000 to succeed both the consumer-oriented [[Windows 98]] and business-oriented [[Windows NT 4.0]] operating systems. However, in the end, [[Windows ME|Windows Millenium Edition]] was released to succeed Windows 98, which led to confusion between the two. Due to the removal of the NT moniker, Windows 2000 branding often included the "Built on NT Technology" tag line to clear out doubts.<br />
<br />
An internal Microsoft presentation released during the ''U.S. v. Microsoft'' trial titled "Windows Launch Review" from 21 November 1997 briefly discusses naming options of the workstation edition.<ref>https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/atr/legacy/2006/03/03/1371.pdf</ref> According to the document, Microsoft considered the following names:<br />
<br />
*Windows NT Workstation 5.0<br />
*Windows NT Client 5.0<br />
*Windows NT Desktop 5.0<br />
*Windows NT 5.0<br />
*Windows 99/2000<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
There are 4 major editions of Windows 2000. One of the server editions, [[Windows Small Business Server 2000]], is technically considered a separate version. Files from the IA-64 compile of [[Windows Server 2003 build 2462]] show a "Windows 2000 Personal" login banner, which indicates that such edition could also have been in planning. A version of Windows 2000 Advanced Server, known as Windows Powered, was made for network-attached storages - abbreviated to NAS. Windows Powered is only obtained using a utility created by Microsoft - known as Microsoft Server Appliance Kit - that converts Advanced Server to Powered. An MSDN release was sent out to people who wished to evaluate Powered, but an update was pushed out to revert the branding to the Advanced server branding. <br />
<br />
*''Windows 2000 Professional''<br />
*''Windows 2000 Server''<br />
*''Windows 2000 Advanced Server''<br />
*''Windows 2000 Datacenter Server''<br />
<br />
==Source code leak==<br />
In early 2004, a portion of the Windows 2000 source code leaked online, together with the source code of [[Windows NT 4.0]].<ref>https://archive.org/download/NFO_Collection_2000-2004_Compilation/NFO_COLLECTION_UNPACKED/2004/02-2004/NF_DAILY_NFO_COLLECTION-13-02-2004.zip/_NUKED_MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.2000.AND.NT4.SOURCE.CODE-SCENELEADER.nfo</ref> The source of the leak was traced to Mainsoft, the developer of MainWin, a program allowing porting of Windows programs to Unix systems, whose development required access to selected portions of Windows source code under Windows Interface Source Environment program.<ref>https://betanews.com/2004/02/13/windows-source-leak-traces-back-to-mainsoft/</ref> In response, Microsoft released the following statement:<br />
{{Quote|On Thursday, February 12, Microsoft became aware that portions of the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 source code were illegally made available on the Internet. Subsequent investigation has shown this was not the result of any breach of Microsofts corporate network or internal security, nor is it related to Microsofts Shared Source Initiative or its Government Security Program, which enable our customers and partners, as well as governments, to legally access Microsoft source code. Microsoft reaffirms its support for both the Shared Source Initiative and the Government Security Program.<br />
<br />
Microsoft continues to work closely with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement authorities on this matter. Microsoft source code is both copyrighted and protected as a trade secret. As such, it is illegal to post it, make it available to others, download it or use it. Microsoft will take all appropriate legal actions to protect its intellectual property. These actions include communicating both directly and indirectly with those who possess or seek to possess, post, download or share the illegally disclosed source code.<br />
<br />
Specifically, Microsoft is sending letters explaining to individuals who have already downloaded the source code that such actions are in violation of the law. Additionally, Microsoft has instituted the use of alerts on several peer-to-peer clients where such illegal sharing of the source code has taken place. These alerts are designed to inform any user who conducts specific searches on these networks to locate and download the source code that such activity is illegal.<br />
<br />
Questions about the ongoing investigation should be referred to the FBI.<br />
|Microsoft Corporation<ref>https://news.microsoft.com/2004/02/12/statement-from-microsoft-regarding-illegal-posting-of-windows-2000-source-code/</ref>}} Despite the warnings, the archive containing the leaked code spread widely on the file-sharing networks and, even later, on open-source repository websites. On 16 February 2004, an exploit allegedly discovered by an individual studying the leaked source code for certain versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer was reported. On 15 April 2015, a repository containing the leaked NT 4.0 source code was removed from GitHub at Microsoft's request,<ref>https://torrentfreak.com/microsoft-takes-pirated-windows-nt-4-0-source-code-offline-150415/</ref> although other repositories hosting the Windows 2000 source code continued to exist in the same website.<br />

'''Shell Technology Preview build 1054''' (also known as ''Shell Technology Preview'' or ''NewShell'') is a replacement shell provided by Microsoft for testing with Windows 95-compliant applications in Windows NT. The end result is a beta version of the [[Windows NT 4.0]] shell and user interface, complete with icons and some feature additions. This version also makes Windows NT 3.51 identify itself as Windows NT 4.0.<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
Run <code>SHUPDATE.CMD</code> from the installation media. Note that to use Briefcase, you must have Service Pack 5 of Windows NT 3.51 installed. Updating the Service Pack will require you to uninstall NewShell first. Note that NewShell will not install on beta versions of Windows NT 3.51</div>Robhttps://betawiki.net/index.php?title=Windows_Longhorn_build_4048&diff=102499Windows Longhorn build 40482020-12-18T19:48:26Z<p>Rob: </p>

'''Windows Longhorn build 4048''' is a Milestone 7 build of [[Windows Vista|Windows Longhorn]]. On 23 January 2020, this build was listed on a thread by [[UX.Unleaked]] blog founder Grabberslasher to be released to the [[BetaArchive]] FTP, and was released in the third set of his 33 Longhorn/Vista builds on 26 January 2020, alongside multiple compiles of [[Windows Vista build 5000|build 5000]] and [[Windows Vista build 5001|build 5001]].<ref>https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40726</ref> This build's <code>install.wim</code> is missing some of its files due to corruption, making this build uninstallable. However, a member of the BetaWiki Discord, lucasm, had successfully installed this build on a hypervisor.<br />
<br />
==Setup==<br />
It is unknown whether this build includes the redesigned setup as seen in [[Windows Longhorn build 4050 (idx02)|build 4050]] due to the setup media being corrupted from install.wim onwards, making files containing setup assets unrecoverable.<br />

'''Windows XP''' (codenamed ''Whistler'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001 and general availability on October 25, 2001. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows 2000]] and preceding [[Windows Vista]]. It also succeeded [[Windows Me]] after the end of the Windows 9x kernel. It is one of Microsoft's longest-lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still runs on 1.29% of desktop and laptop computers worldwide as of January 2020.<br />
<br />
==Main changes==<br />
===User interface===<br />
Windows XP got a major UI overhaul during development, with the introduction of Themes. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, [[Luna]]. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green, and silver. Users could still select the [[Windows Classic]] theme from previous versions of Windows ([[Windows 98|98]], [[Windows 2000|2000]], [[Windows Me|Me]], ...), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.<br />
<br />
The introduction of ClearType, an anti-aliasing font function allowed easier text reading on desktop computers with LCD-TFT monitors and laptops but also affected CRT monitors.<br />
<br />
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Starter Edition|Starter Edition]]''': This version was intended for emerging markets, and was introduced in 2004, meant for low-cost PCs. It cannot launch more than 3 programs at a time and won't recognize more than 512MB of RAM.<br />
*'''Home Edition''': This edition is for home and personal users who don't need to use corporate network, security, and management features (such as joining domain networks, file encryption, Remote Desktop Connection, group policies, etc.) This version can address up to 4 GB of RAM, and it only supports a single physical processor (though multiple cores and threads are supported).<br />
*'''Professional''': This is the mainstream high-end version, sold along with the ''Home Edition''. It supports up to two physical processors.<br />
**'''[[Windows XP 64-Bit Edition|64-Bit Edition]]''': This was a special edition for Itanium-based computers. There were two releases, first of which was based on Windows XP and the second of which was based on [[Windows Server 2003]].<br />
**'''[[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Professional x64 Edition]]''': This was the version for x86-64 processors based on Windows Server 2003.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Media Center Edition|Media Center Edition]]''': This version is especially for Media Center-based PCs, and is not sold normally. System requirements are significantly higher than in other editions. This version includes Media Center and new themes and [[Microsoft Plus!]] features such as [[Royale]].<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Embedded|Embedded]]''': This version is intended for the embedded sector.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Tablet PC Edition|Tablet PC Edition]]''': This version was included in tablet computers from 2002-2006. This is the tablet-optimized version of Windows XP.<br />
*'''N, K and KN editions''': The N version was made for the European markets and did not include Windows Media Player; the K version was made for the South Korean markets and included two shortcuts to Korean websites offering media player and messenger software by default, after a South Korean Fair Trade Commission ruling.<br />
<br />
==Startup and shutdown sound==<br />
No builds of Whistler ever used or even included the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIUhPU8Adc widespread startup and shutdown sound]:<br />
*The fake startup sound was made using [[Windows 98]]'s shutdown sound reversed, [[Windows 2000 build 1983.1]] to build [[Windows 2000 build 2000.3|2000.3]]'s startup sound reversed, and the Next Level sound from a game titled Spring Weekend included in Microsoft Entertainment Pack.<br />
*The widespread shutdown sound came from BeOS.<br />
In fact, all builds up until [[Windows XP build 2485|2485]] uses the same sounds as Windows 2000 and Me. Build [[Windows XP build 2481|2481]] introduced the sounds used in the final release, but it wasn't used as default at the point.<br />
<br />
==Source code leak==<br />
On September 23, 2020, the source code for [[Windows XP build 2600.1106|Windows XP Service Pack 1]] and [[Windows Server 2003 build 3790|Windows Server 2003 RTM]] leaked on 4chan's /g/ board. As mentioned on the original post, this had been circulating in private circles for several years at most. Due to the incompleteness of both source codes, primarily on the activation side of things, it is fair to assume that this had originated from a Microsoft Partner who had the access rather than Microsoft themselves. The ability to glance into the groundwork of this operating system has led to some discoveries, an example being the checks for enabling the DirectUI-based Start Page from <code>shell\explorer\tray.cpp</code> being usable in [[Windows XP build 2410 (main)|build 2410]].<br />

'''Windows XP''' (codenamed ''Whistler'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001 and general availability on October 25, 2001. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows 2000]] and preceding [[Windows Vista]]. It also succeeded [[Windows Me]] after the end of the Windows 9x kernel. It is one of Microsoft's longest-lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still runs on 1.29% of desktop and laptop computers worldwide as of January 2020.<br />
<br />
==Main changes==<br />
===User interface===<br />
Windows XP got a major UI overhaul during development, with the introduction of Themes. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, [[Luna]]. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green, and silver. Users could still select the [[Windows Classic]] theme from previous versions of Windows ([[Windows 98|98]], [[Windows 2000|2000]], [[Windows Me|Me]], ...), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.<br />
<br />
The introduction of ClearType, an anti-aliasing font function allowed easier text reading on desktop computers with LCD-TFT monitors and laptops but also affected CRT monitors.<br />
<br />
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Starter Edition|Starter Edition]]''': This version was intended for emerging markets, and was introduced in 2004, meant for low-cost PCs. It cannot launch more than 3 programs at a time and won't recognize more than 512MB of RAM.<br />
*'''Home Edition''': This edition is for home and personal users who don't need to use corporate network, security, and management features (such as joining domain networks, file encryption, Remote Desktop Connection, group policies, etc.) This version can address up to 4 GB of RAM, and it only supports a single physical processor (though multiple cores and threads are supported).<br />
*'''Professional''': This is the mainstream high-end version, sold along with the ''Home Edition''. It supports up to two physical processors.<br />
**'''[[Windows XP 64-Bit Edition|64-Bit Edition]]''': This was a special edition for Itanium-based computers. There were two releases, first of which was based on Windows XP and the second of which was based on [[Windows Server 2003]].<br />
**'''[[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|Professional x64 Edition]]''': This was the version for x86-64 processors based on Windows Server 2003.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Media Center Edition|Media Center Edition]]''': This version is especially for Media Center-based PCs, and is not sold normally. System requirements are significantly higher than in other editions. This version includes Media Center and new themes and [[Microsoft Plus!]] features such as [[Royale]].<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Embedded|Embedded]]''': This version is intended for the embedded sector.<br />
*'''[[Windows XP Tablet PC Edition|Tablet PC Edition]]''': This version was included in tablet computers from 2002-2006. This is the tablet-optimized version of Windows XP.<br />
*'''N, K and KN editions''': The N version was made for the European markets and did not include Windows Media Player; the K version was made for the South Korean markets and included two shortcuts to Korean websites offering media player and messenger software by default, after a South Korean Fair Trade Commission ruling.<br />
<br />
==Startup and shutdown sound==<br />
No builds of Whistler ever used or even included the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIUhPU8Adc widespread startup and shutdown sound]:<br />
*The fake startup sound was made using [[Windows 98]]'s shutdown sound reversed, [[Windows 2000 build 1983.1]] to build [[Windows 2000 build 2000.3|2000.3]]'s startup sound reversed, and the Next Level sound from a game titled Spring Weekend included in Microsoft Entertainment Pack.<br />
*The widespread shutdown sound came from BeOS.<br />
In fact, all builds up until [[Windows XP build 2485|2485]] uses the same sounds as Windows 2000 and Me. Build [[Windows XP build 2481|2481]] introduced the sounds used in the final release, but it wasn't used as default at the point.<br />
<br />
==Source code leak==<br />
On September 23, 2020, the source code for [[Windows XP build 2600.1106|Windows XP Service Pack 1]] and [[Windows Server 2003 build 3790|Windows Server 2003 RTM]] leaked on 4chan's /g/ board. As mentioned on the original post, this had been circulating in private circles for several years at most. Due to the incompleteness of both source codes, primarily on the activation side of things, it is fair to assume that this had originated from a Microsoft Partner who had the access rather than Microsoft themselves. The ability to glance into the groundwork of this operating system has led to some discoveries, an example being the checks for enabling the DirectUI-based Start Page from <code>shell\explorer\tray.cpp</code> being usable in [[Windows XP build 2410 (main)|build 2410]].<br />
<br />
==Quirks==<br />
Windows XP is perhaps notable for being able to be installed on a failing hard drive. Older and newer OSes such as [[Windows 3.1]] and [[Windows Vista]] do not work (with Vista and later telling you that the drive is failing). XP does not bring up any mention of the failing drive at any point during the installation and installs normally (Your computer's BIOS may tell you if it has that capability).<br />

}}<br />
'''Windows 95 build 58s''' is a Milestone 4 build of [[Windows 95]]. This build is the first release of the Chicago Preliminary Development Kit (PDK). Though this build is the earliest leaked build of Windows 95, earlier builds have been confirmed to exist.<br />
<br />
== New features ==<br />
*This build runs on top of a new version of MS-DOS, 7.0, which starts Windows automatically.<br />
*It also features a new type of bootscreen, which is stored inside <code>LOGO.SYS</code> in the root of the system partition.<br />
*Program Manager and File Manager from Windows 3.x have been replaced by a new, unified shell called Cabinet (<code>CABINET.EXE</code>), a very early form of Windows Explorer which is still 16-bit in this build.<br />
*The new shell makes better use of the desktop than Windows 3.x, allowing the user to place icons representing programs, files and folders on it.<br />
*At the bottom of the screen is the taskbar, which in this build serves as a folder for storing shortcuts, files and folders, not for displaying running programs like in later builds.<br />
*Minimized programs instead appear similar to Windows 3.x, floating around the desktop as tiles with the program's name beside the icon.<br />
*The taskbar features three buttons and menus for accessing common commands: System, Search and Help menus, which were later merged into a single Start button.<br />
*When installed beside an existing installation of Windows 3.1x, Chicago can be configured to run that installation of Windows 3.1 in a window, similar to a virtual machine.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and quirks ==<br />
*As with other Windows 9x builds, the hard disk needs to be partitioned and formatted before installing this build.<br />
*The new setup doesn't ask for username and organization information, leaving the placeholder values of "Unknown User" and "Unknown Organization" in place.<br />
*The floppy disk driver in this build is very buggy and won't work most of the time. Cabinet will either display nothing or garbage when the floppy drive is accessed.<br />
*Even if no network is installed during setup, an error saying "Cannot find NETWORK.DRV" will be displayed on startup, but it's harmless and can be removed. See below for a fix.<br />
*If you install directly from a CD, an error saying "Cannot access D:\" will be displayed on every boot, but can be skipped. See below for a fix.<br />
*Cabinet will not remember your view settings and many of the menu options don't work as they're not implemented yet.<br />
*The build may hang or crash randomly and can be rather slow at times.<br />
*Some copies of this build are missing the file <code>_msnet.inf</code>, which must be skipped for setup to continue.<br />
<br />
== Fixes and enhancements ==<br />
===Getting rid of startup items===<br />
Three programs are configured to run on startup by default: Dr. Watson (<code>DRWATSON.EXE</code>), Chicago Beta Warning (<code>WARNING.EXE</code>) and Tracker (<code>TRACKER.EXE</code>). The former two can be disabled by removing their links (shortcuts) from the Startup folder, which is inside the Programs folder on the desktop.<br />
<br />
Tracker can be disabled by removing it from the <code>load=</code> value in the <code>[windows]</code> section of <code>WIN.INI</code>.<br />
<br />
===Configuring a CD drive===<br />
The best way to get the CD drive working is to use an Adaptec AHA-154x SCSI adapter and a SCSI CD-ROM drive, drivers will be automatically installed and they'll work. While ATAPI CD-ROM drive support is incomplete, this build can still access the ATAPI CD-ROM drive without hanging if installed prior to setup, unlike some of the later builds.<br />
<br />
===Fixing "Cannot access D:\" error===<br />
Open <code>SETUP.INI</code> and change the line <code>OldWinDir=D:\RETAIL</code> to <code>OldWinDir=</code>, then save the file.<br />
<br />
===Fixing "Cannot find NETWORK.DRV" error===<br />
Create a dummy (empty) <code>NETWORK.DRV</code> file inside the <code>\SYSTEM</code> folder or configure a network.<br />
<br />
==Old setup==<br />
There are many old setup files on the unmodified disc which may have been used in builds prior to 58s. Running <code>SETUP31.EXE /O:OLDSETUP.INF</code> in the <code>RETAIL</code> directory of the setup disc will launch the Windows 3.1x style setup, but the installation process will fail at the text stage due to 184 missing files.<br />
<br />
It looks almost exactly like the Windows 3.1x setup, except for branding changes from "Windows" to "Chicago". It was possibly designed for a debug build of Chicago since it asks for many <code>.SYM</code> files, a few debugger executables and batch files. Most of those <code>.SYM</code> files are present in early Win32s builds meaning 32-bit support in Chicago was still at Win32s level in early 1993-06. It also asks for many components from [[Windows 3.1x#Windows for Workgroups 3.1|Windows for Workgroups 3.1x]] that are missing from the setup disc. <br />
<br />
After copying files in the GUI portion of Setup, Setup will attempt to run <code>W31TOCHI.EXE</code> which is not present in this build. Setup will then launch Network Setup and it will most likely fail due to missing files.<br />
<br />
Despite this, it is possible to install this build using the old setup, but the result produced is only a semi-working version of this build with visual glitches. The boot screen is <code>SYSLOGO.RLE</code> used by earlier builds instead of the new animated <code>LOGO.SYS</code> boot screen. About dialog reports "Windows for Workgroups Version 4.00.58s" as the old setup copies the old <code>SHELL.DLL</code> during installation. File Cabinet will fail to launch due to missing registry entries, but Program Manager (<code>PROGMAN.EXE</code>) works fine. All program groups are present due to the Group File Converter (<code>GRPCONV.EXE</code>) not being executed automatically upon boot. The old setup does not install MS-DOS, therefore it is required to have MS-DOS 7.0 installed before installing Windows.<br />

}}<br />
'''Redlock''' is a tool developed by BetaWiki members and software developers lucasm and gus33000. The initial version was released on 29 January 2020. The tool is designed to replicate Microsoft's original Redpill implementation as closely as possible. It is being actively developed. It is a C# wrapper around a C++ unencrypted reimplementation of shsxs.dll (as the original implementation was approximately 85 per cent encrypted), which is contained within the executable compressed with GZip. <br />
<br />
While the practice of disabling the Software Protection Service is still present, there is a variety of improvements. One of them is the creation of a dynamically tailored shsxs.dll, making the tool's compatibility scope much wider. Product policies, system certificates, manifests and registry keys are applied dynamically as well. DISM is used to install the Immersive Browser. To demonstrate the accent capabilities of various early builds, it includes a copy of the [[Windows 8 build 8102.101|Windows Developer Preview]] accent modified in order to be colorizable on builds that support it. Redlock is notable for being the first Redpill tool to include support for [[Windows 8 build 7850|build 7850]]. <br />
<br />
Compared to the previous third party tools, Redlock has become the preferred tool for unlocking Metro due to its compact size, speed, and cleaner method of enabling the features.<br />

'''Windows XP Professional x64 Edition build 3754''' is an early build of [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition]]. Only a few screenshots of this build have been shown from PC Watch,<ref>https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/0317/cebit06.htm</ref> however, the build itself hasn't leaked yet. This build shows the early development of the AMD64 architecture on Windows XP and shows a few applications to demonstrate how they use the capabilities of this architecture.<br />

'''Windows 7 build 6519''' is a Milestone 1 build of [[Windows 7]], leaked to [[BetaArchive]] on 2008-06-10.<ref>https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4462</ref> This build removed the Windows Sidebar, allowing for the gadgets to be placed freely on the desktop. The notification area has been updated on both the regular Taskbar and the Superbar, allowing the user to drag hidden notifications to a separate pop-up window. It is also the first build to identify itself as "Windows 7", albeit still using [[Windows Vista]] branding in the Preinstallation Environment, and updated the boot screen to a Vista-style aurora. This build also has transparency effects even when a window is maximized. This build also includes a new display dropdown menu.<br />
<br />
It is the earliest leaked build to create a "System Reserved" partition, which is used to store the Windows Boot Manager, its boot configuration data (BCD) file, and [[Windows Recovery Environment]]. In this build, it is 500MB compared to the 100MB of later builds (and is something that persists up to the latest Windows 10 build)<br />
<br />
==USB 3.0==<br />
When installing this build on modern hardware with USB, you must disable USB 3.0 (xHCI) in the BIOS, even if RTM Windows Vista installs fine with it enabled and the drive plugged into the 2.0 ports, as the installer will show an error message that Windows cannot read files.<br />

'''Windows XP build 2202''' is the earliest leaked build of Windows XP from 2000-02. It identifies as ''SD Windows 2000 Professional'' in the desktop watermark, 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. One such lab was ntvbl06, to which this build belongs.<br />
<br />
== Ties to Neptune/Whistler projects ==<br />
For some time there has been a debate on whether this is a post-RTM build of Windows 2000 or a very early build of Whistler. Many system files in this build contain strings beginning with <code>s:\ntc2</code>, which indicates the source tree from which this build was compiled was initially located in the NTC2 folder. Considering it was compiled after the cancellation of the Neptune project, which had the source tree named '''NTC''', it seems logical to assume that '''NTC2''' refers to Whistler.<br />
<br />
The ''Additional Drivers'' dialog in the Printers control panel also contains options for "Windows 2001" on AXP64 and IA64-based machines.<ref>http://blog.airesoft.co.uk/2014/08/the-road-to-windows-xp-whistler-2202/</ref> All this rules out the possibility of this build being a post-RTM build of Windows 2000. Other than this, it's still largely the same as Windows 2000.<br />
<br />
== Bugs and issues ==<br />
=== Installation ===<br />
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 with "Whistler".<br />
=== Drivers ===<br />
VMware graphics drivers newer than version 7 cannot be installed on this build since they cause a BSOD at resolutions higher than 640x480.<br />
=== Stability ===<br />
This build can randomly crash and doesn't really have a very good graphics rendering engine as windows that are closed will still sometimes appear on the desktop.<br />
=== Closing Windows ===<br />
Sometimes, the regular method of closing windows doesn't work. Windows have to be closed by right clicking on the taskbar and closing them.<br />
