Release information[3][edit | edit source]
Dear Windows Me Testers, Your beta withdrawals are over! We're happy to announce RC2 (2535) is posted to our web and ftp servers. In the excitement to provide you, our testers, with what quite possibly could be our final release quickly, we're providing the build on download days before CDs are back from manufacturing. If you have the ability to download, even if very slowly, we highly encourage you to do so. Rest assured that regardless of download capability, CDs will be sent to all sites starting June 8th. Please allow 7 to 10 business days to receive your media. We've all come together to put a great deal of effort into this product. Our internal test teams, developers, OEM partners and technical associates truly believe we're ready to ship. We're hope you're as proud of this of this product as we are. Now, let's go to work and sign-off on another great Windows product! Also, check out the cool new video for the Windows Millennium Edition Preview. Sincerely, The Consumer Windows Team
Changes[edit | edit source]
The introduction video was updated to the one used in the RTM.
Neptune reference[edit | edit source]
A file named ICMUI.DLL
, with the version number 5.50.5117.1 was found in this Windows Me build, but it is unknown whether this Neptune build was ever compiled.
Some speculate this would've been a Milestone 2 build. It would've been compiled someday after 11 December 1999, meaning it would be one of the last Neptune builds before the Neptune project was canceled in January 2000.
