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.
