This is especially true for earlier builds, where designers would have been busy with UI prototyping, and the code was unlikely to be seen outside of MS and the closest of partners.

Probably, it was rushed, which would explain why they used the so-called 'Windows LH' logo in the About Windows dialog box.

What we're talking about is something that was obviously highly experimental, and really, a lot of these pre-release builds have a lot of weird characteristics, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're fake. That is also why it is nearly the same as Windows XP itself in terms of actual functionality.Īlso, remember the early x86-64 builds of Windows Server 2003? In the About Windows dialog box, they had '圆4' written over them, obviously in Paint, yet as far as I can remember, they were completely real. Probably resources in msgina.dll or other branding files were replaced, to get the effect, but this is so unprofessional, does someone have used paint for doing this?! While I can certainly understand your doubts about those screenshots, you must also remember that this was supposed to have been an extremely early post-reset build, where they were basically starting out with a clean codebase.
