- The boot screen was changed to be labeled Beta 1. It is however different to the Beta 1 boot screen seen in build 1400.
- Internet Explorer 4 is now again included instead of version 3, with a new splash screen. Outlook Express 4.0 and HTML Help were also reintroduced.
- Setup billboard text has become bolder.
