The boot screen was updated to its final animation, which replaces the breathing loading... text animation with three progressing blue bars. Along with this, the Copyright and Microsoft Corporation text were moved from the middle to the bottom left corner.
Almost all Windows Whistler references in the Setup and user inteface were replaced with Windows XP. Alongside this, the "Comments?" link located on titlebar windows was removed. It would later reappear in Windows Server 2003 build 3590 and in Windows 7 build 6931.

The Windows XP sound scheme has been introduced, however it is not used by default. This sound scheme, unlike later builds, also contains a higher bitrate when compared to builds after 2481, making this the only available build to have the higher quality version of XP sounds. Additionally they are in stereo, with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate.
Due to the addition of the XP sound scheme, the Utopia sound scheme was removed from the installed system with the exception of the Close Program sound (clickerx.wav). The files for this sound scheme would however remain on the installation media until build 2600.5512.
A Sample Music subdirectory was added to the My Music folder. This subdirectory includes the Beethoven Symphony No.9 (Scherzo), New Stories (Highway Blues), Flourish, OneStop, Town and Drumkit Test sample music files.
A new "Printers and Faxes" option was added to the start menu, while a "Windows Catalog" link was added to the classic start menu. The log off and shutdown options of the classic start menu have also received new icons.
The Windows XP Tour has been updated to its RTM counterpart and is now fully complete and functional. As such, a new "Tour Windows XP" program was added, which launches a menu where the user can select whether to use the Flash version or the HTML version of the tour.
Background: Microsoft Chicago is the development codename for Windows 95. This operating system introduced one of the most iconic desktop interface designs, including the introduction of the Start menu (created by Danny Oran), which allows easier access to desktop applications and settings. This UI is still used in current Windows builds.
Background: "Windows NT 5.0" was the original in-development name for Windows 2000. The name was changed to "Windows 2000" in Beta 3 (around version 5.00.1946 to be specific). While early test builds of Windows NT 5 were very similar to Windows NT 4, they gradually began to develop their own visual and sound elements.
Screen: On the Windows 95 desktop background, there is the Windows logo on a nighttime background like the one in the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 startup. The text on the top right says "Windows NT Workstation", and the text on the bottom right says "5.0". In this screen, "Beta 1/2/3 etc." and "Evaluation Copy" are placed on the left side, alongside the protection notice from Windows NT 4.0.
Availability: Extremely rare. Windows NT 5 releases were originally only available to participants of Microsoft's beta testing programs, but copies of certain builds have since leaked to the beta community. Builds known to be available of NT 5 are build 1729 (the Interim Developer's Release), build 1877 (Beta 2), build 1902 (Beta 2), and build 1906 (Beta 2), among other earlier and later builds that may or may not have this specific startup.
Underneath the graphics is a gradient blue bar that continually moves to the right. Still underneath that are the words "Starting up..." To the right of the words is the all-too-familiar "download bar." This entire box is surrounded by a black border.
Shutdown Variant: A dialog box, with a slightly somewhat rearranged positioning of the above elements. The Microsoft logo is absent from the upper right corner, replacing it with a navy blue bar. Underneath the now-still gradient bar, the words "It is now safe to turn off your computer." appear in a gray area.
Startup Sound (Music/Sounds): The same beeping arpeggio from Windows NT 5.0's The Microsoft Sound, but faster and high-pitched, and backed by a chorus pad. Much more pleasant than the original startup sound, and its shutdown sound. This was originally going to be used for the Beta 1 shutdown sound.
Scare Factor: None for the start-up version, as it is very soothing and very tame, compared to its shutdown counterpart. Low to High for the shutdown version, as most would not likely be expecting the sudden whoosh, which is re-used, however if you're used to it, the rating might be lower.
Background: Neptune was to be Microsoft's next-generation operating system targeted at home users. It differed from previous consumer-oriented Windows versions in that it was built on the Windows NT code base. However, Neptune was shelved and home users were treated to Windows ME instead.
Screen: Same as the Windows 2000 startup, but the Windows logo is removed and the dots to the left of it, in rainbow colors, appears to the left of the text, now grey and changed to: "Microsoft Neptune". Below the text says "under construction".
Availability: Near extinction, as it is only available on Neptune build 5.50.5111. Other builds may exist, but only the existence of this one has been proven. 5111 is the only leaked build, and it's NOT easy to find, however you can find it in software preservation sites like WinWorld. Earlier builds might contain the Windows 2000 boot screen, but there's no info (at least yet).
Music/Sounds: Early Betas/Builds until build 2481 used the Windows 2000/ME sounds, while Build 2481 introduced the Windows XP sounds. Build 2485 is the first build to use Windows XP sounds by default. The fake startup is a reverse Windows 98 shutdown sound ending in a ascending vibraphone melody (taken from Windows CE, however it has been slowed down) and ends with the Windows 2000 startup sound from beta 3 reversed. The fake shut down is a descending guitar melody ending with a few twinkling notes.
Logo: On a black background, near the bottom we see a white Windows XP logo. To the right of it is the text "Microsoft" in a weight of Franklin Gothic, following a trademark sign at the top right of the text, and below said text is "Longhorn", in the same weight of Franklin Gothic. Below all of that is the Windows XP progress bar.
Variant: In build 4042, there is a small version of the Windows XP logo; below is the text "Microsoft Windows Code Name" and below aforementioned text is "Longhorn". Also, the progress bar is orange. In build 5048, there is also a screen with the white Windows XP logo at the bottom with the text "Windows Code Name" followed by the text "Longhorn" below that, and the progress bar is white.
Logo: Against a black background, we see a fish on an aqua square. Around the fish is 2 bubbles connected to each other (which look like an 8). There are the circular dots spinning around as the screen loads.
Windows XP (codenamed Whistler) is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released to manufacturing on 2001-10-25 and general availability on 2001-10-25. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding Windows 2000 and preceding Windows Vista. It also succeeded Windows Me after the end of the Windows 9x kernel. It is one of Microsoft's longest lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still run on 0.51% of desktop and laptop computers worldwide as of January 2021[1]. It i2s also the last client version of Windows that supports computers without ACPI.
Windows XP got a major UI overhaul during development, with the introduction of Themes. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, Luna. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green and silver. Users could still select the Windows Classic theme from previous versions of Windows (98, 2000, ME, ...), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.
The Unattended for this OS can using nLite, Some Persons many created Project to creating Windows XP Mod Editions, such as Removal Components, Integrate Drivers, Add-ons, Updates, Slipstreaming Service Pack.
No builds of Whistler ever used or even included the widespread startup and shutdown sound. The fake startup sound was made using Windows 98's shutdown sound reversed, Windows 2000 Build 1983.1 to Build 2000.3's startup sound reversed, and the Next Level sound from a game titled Spring Weekend included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack, while the shutdown sound came from BeOS albeit downsampled.
According to Microsoft, Windows XP requires a Pentium processor running on 233 MHz, at least 64 MB of RAM, 1.5 GB of hard drive space, and a Super VGA or better display adapter. [2] Windows XP drops full support for processors without the CPUID instruction, like the 486. Additionally, the HAL for the SGI Visual Workstation 320 and 540 (HALBORG.DLL) is no longer included in Windows XP. Windows XP updates the default VGA driver to take advantage of VESA BIOS extensions, allowing true color display and resolutions in the default VGA driver, although this requires a graphics card that supports SVGA.
On September 2020, the source code of Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2003 leaked on 4chan's /g/ board. As mentioned on the original post, this had been circulating in private circles for several years at most. Due to the incompleteness of both source codes, primarily on the activation side of things, it is fair to assume that this had originated from a Microsoft Partner who had the access rather than Microsoft themselves. The ability to glance into the groundwork of this operating system has led to some discoveries, an example being the checks for enabling the DirectUI-based Start Page from shell\explorer\tray.cpp being usable in Build 2410. 152ee80cbc
