New features and changes[edit | edit source]

User interface[edit | edit source]

A drop shadow effect is now applied against window title text in the Luna visual style's caption bar. The operating system's codename is no longer referenced in the Luna visual style, with its name simply reduced to "Luna style".

New icon designs for the Windows Task Manager and Disk Defragmenter have been added, with toolbars in the Windows Explorer user interface now being locked by default to prevent confusion among consumers. The taskbar would be later locked in build 2433 in an effort to further reduce new users' confusion.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Installation[edit | edit source]

  • The language for non-Unicode programs won't be saved when set during setup.
  • Merlin does not function during the OOBE.
