Running Windows XP Professional Build 2474 inside Windows XP (Virtual PC 2007)
0Episode 26.
This is Windows XP Professional Build 2474 running inside my Windows XP VM.
Windows XP Professional Build 2474 is a Pre-RC1 build of Windows XP. This build has major changes to system icons, the boot screen, and the OOBE. This build features the new Windows XP Setup, and the time for the setup is now 39 minutes instead of 31 minutes. This build also features the new Windows XP Boot Screen, which was only used on XP Builds 2474 and 2475. On later builds, this feature the updated Windows XP Boot Screen with an animated sliding bar. On the OOBE, we got QMark instead of Merlin The Wizard as the setup guide. (unless you're using HP, you get Victor as your Windows Tour Guide for Windows Me and Windows XP devices). QMark originally had the Adult Male #1 (Radar Overseer Scotty from the TTS Community) voice, but the QMark on Windows XP now doesn't have a voice on later builds. The login screen has an animated Windows flag, but it's not looped. In order to see that, log off or switch user, or set up a password if you want to see it. This build also features the new Blue Screen of Death, which was also used on Windows Vista and Windows 7. This build is available in English only, but has the Personal (Home Edition) and Professional Editions.
