Windows XP build 2469 is a pre Release Candidate 1 build of Windows XP, which was released to testers on 12 May 2001.
New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Boot screen[edit | edit source]
The "Starting Windows..." text present before the boot screen is initialized was removed.
Windows Setup[edit | edit source]
Text-mode[edit | edit source]
The key to launch Automated System Recovery during the text-mode part of Setup has been changed from F5 to F2. The BOOTCFG command was also added to the recovery console.
GUI setup[edit | edit source]
The GUI setup has been updated to its final design. The steps in this design use radio buttons instead of checkmarks, with the bars on the bottom right corner being replaced with green squares.
The color used for the progress bars has been changed from orange to green, and the check marks have been replaced with radio buttons. another change is with the Windows Whistler wordmark which is replaced with the Windows XP wordmark.
A new icon was also added to the top right corner of the Setup program.
In the upgrade setup, check marks are now used for marking steps. The background color was also changed from white to blue.
Out-of-box experience[edit | edit source]
The Out-of-box experience has received an overhaul since build 2463. The clouds in the background were replaced with a spotlight and Merlin was replaced with a Question Mark. Along with this, the popup telling the user on how to use the mouse was removed.
This is also the earliest available consumer build of XP to include the Welcome Music composed by Stan LePard, also known as title.wma.
User interface[edit | edit source]
More icons (like the Notepad, Windows Update, Activate Windows or System Restore icons) were updated to their RTM appearance.
System Restore has also had its appearance updated to its final design, which includes a dark blue topbar.
Control Panel[edit | edit source]
An option to display a screen with recovery options in the case of an improper reboot or a failed startup of the system has been added to the System applet in Startup and Recovery. However, as that screen has not been implemented by this build yet, the option appears grayed out.
The text in the Hardware Update wizard when a system restore point is created in the case of a non-WHQL driver installation has been reworded to include the backup of old files.
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
- The kernel font was changed to Lucida Console.
- The alternative
AUTOCHKscreen (which can be invoked by adding/SOStoboot.ini) now uses Windows XP branding. - The main executables of
SETUPLDRandOSLOADER.EXE(NTLDR) are now full PE executables instead of a PE starting at IMAGE_FILE_HEADER (that is, pure COFF with PE optional header). - Added the
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.(0xF4) bugcheck code, which would later be renamed toCRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION.
