This build in many ways marks the end of an era, and for a good reason. But that's for next time.

Yet another redesigned boot screen. It doesn't even bother showing the copyright date or Microsoft logo.

MS changed the look of the setup yet again, it still functions the same way as before.

And of course, they changed the look of the OOBE. Besides that, it's still the same as before.

The desktop is nearly the same as last time.

"Activate Windows" is now shown in the first level of "More Programs". Pushy much, Bill?

The Activation dialog now actually opens...

...but thankfully it doesn't work.

The red title bars when another window pertaining to it is open is gone. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if it was intentional.

More of the games icons have been changed and it now includes "Hearts" and "Spider Solitaire".

The famous "Bliss" wallpaper as well as some other familar ones from the final make their debut here.

And finally, here is a prototype of the tour. Which is actually just a Flash program.

Clicking the link at the bottom left takes you to a non-existent help page.

If you want to try this "tour" out yourself, you can download it here:
