Changes[edit | edit source]
- This build now uses the Superbar by default.
- The boot screen has been reverted to the one seen in Windows Vista/Server 2008.
- This is the first build to use the Windows Server 2008 R2 branding on the Windows Setup, login screen and winver. However, it still identifies itself as Windows Server 7 in the desktop watermark and Windows 7 in the Windows Preinstallation Environment watermark.
- The copyright date of
winver.exehas been updated from 2007 to 2008. - The Windows logo on the Start button (when the Windows Classic theme is in use) has been uplifted and now resembles the RTM.
