Release Notes:

	We are STILL not at Beta 2 yet, but this build SHOULD be fairly
	stable.  Microsoft is deploying it internally on several 
	production machines, so if they are actually using it, thats a 
	good sign.

Greets go to GLoW, especially Kimberlee and Superchic, DoD, and definately
do NOT go to those idiots trying to form some sort of consortium that thinks
they are going to set the methodology used for releases and packaging for us.
Have fun setting up your "whos who in warez phonebook", don't forget to send
a copy to the SPA and piracy@microsoft.com.  fools...........

New features and changes[edit | edit source]

It is one of the first builds to change the system crash screen background color to the shade of blue that is seen in later versions of Windows, although with a darker text color.
Most branding has been changed to identify as Beta 2, though the CD is still labeled as an Interim Developer's Release.
The desktop shortcut to the Internet Explorer is now labeled as "Internet Explorer" rather than as "Internet".
This build no longer has the text-mode boot screen and safe to shutdown screen upon adding /noguiboot to the kernel command in boot.ini and restarting the system.
The screen is now cleared out in the event of a system crash during startup. This also causes the error text to no longer appear directly on the boot screen.
A new Phone Dialer application developed by and licensed from ActiveVoice replaced the previous one.
The Shut Down prompt no longer shows the power options directly, but instead has a drop-down menu with the power options inside of it. If invoked from the security options, it also shows a Windows NT banner.
The boot screen of the Server SKU received a variation of the design used in build 1796 for the Workstation SKU, having a black square around the Windows logo as opposed to blue and dropping the trident logo previously used in Microsoft Server solutions, including Windows NT Server (it continued to be used for BackOffice until it was replaced by Small Business Server 2000). Unlike the Workstation SKU, the background color was reverted from blue seen in build 1814 to teal for some reason.

Control Panel[edit | edit source]

The Data Links and Multimedia applets have been removed, while there is a new shortcut to the Folder Options applet.
The Sounds and System (SYSDM.CPL) applets received new icons.
The Regional Settings applet has been renamed to Regional Options.
The Add/Remove Programs wizard (listed in Control Panel as "v2") has been removed, while there are more changes to the original applet (APPWIZ.CPL) to look more like in the official Beta 2:
- The bitmap at the top of the sidebar has been removed.
- The font has been shrunken from 9 to 8px to consist with the rest of the user interface.
- The description on the "Change or Remove Programs" page has been recolored from grey to black.
- The "Windows NT Optional Components" option in the programs list has been removed in favor of using the "Configure Windows" page instead.
- The size and installation date are no longer being displayed for all programs directly. Instead, they will now appear when selecting a program from the list.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Task Manager[edit | edit source]

Task Manager allows the user to terminate critical system processes.

Hibernation[edit | edit source]

The progress bar shown when the system is hibernating does not fill up the entire bar. Instead, a text-mode message will appear in the top left corner stating State saved, power off the system.
