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.
Windows ME used 98 sounds during beta, not 2000 sounds... (Usually, it's common to find development builds to have their previously version to have the same sound since it hasn't been changed yet until RTM or final release)
Windows server 2003 does not use fake startup sound in UK (It could've been that Microsoft only created that sound for the commercial, but not the actual version as the actual version used the regular Windows XP sounds)
Windows 7's codename is NEITHER Black comb NOR Vienna. It's codename is 7 (Yes, this correct but to clear up confusion, Blackcomb and Vienna was based on older projects from 2002, that was "supposed" to become Windows 7, but since they were working on Longhorn, they scrapped it and replaced it with Windows 7 a few years later.)
When it came time to design their next sound for Windows Vista, Microsoft reached out to another famous musician, Robert Fripp, the guitarist and founding member of British prog-rock band King Crimson, and a long-time collaborator of Brian Eno. Fripp spent two full days in the studio with the Microsoft team, recording six hours of guitar soundscapes. Using tape from these sessions, and additional sound design elements, Microsoft created the startup sound that was used in both Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Twenty Thousand Hertz is the leading, award-winning show about the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds. Produced out of the sound design studios of Defacto Sound, the podcast has previously revealed the origins of Netflix's "Ta-Dum" for the first time ever, in addition to dissecting the HBO Theme & Static Angel, the McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" jingle, and much more available here:
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.
The Windows 95 startup sound is something special. The first time it was not just a simple signal, but a jingle. The story behind it is something with Brian Eno, on aseparate page . Duration: about 6 seconds. 152ee80cbc
