About Windows Whistler(KOREAN ver.)

Post by jaxintosh »

Hello, and I am here to talk about Korean Windows Whistler Versions.

First of all, through many sources, I found out that the Windows Whistler(Korean) versions/builds are:

Beta 1(2296):Personal, Professional
Beta 2(2462):Personal, Professional, Server, Advanced Server
..and others that I might not know.

Build 2462 Professional exists in FTP...according to what others say, and other versions of 2462 and 2296 Professional seems pretty rare.(2296 Personal is kind-a common)

-----

According to this website, which is Beta-test application form from Feb 10, 2001, there were 2 'kits' of beta 2-
1.Whistler Personal(Only)
2.Whistler 32 TechBeta - Personal+Professional+Server+Advanced Server

..and said that 48 people could apply, and the disks were delivered in April, in the same year.

For beta 1(Disk), I think this is the only image that I can find in the web-
Image
(original image from here), and as I said, there is almost no clue of the Professional Version for Beta 1.

For beta 2(Disk), I really can't find any picture.


-----

I will try to upload screenshots of Korean 2296(Personal) later.


Thank you for reading.

Sound like you know a lot! Were you a beta tester?

Well, I really wasn't a beta tester(I wish I am, though), but these informations are based on sources that are (mostly) reliable.

Here are some screenshots:

(The original background is pitch blue, but there is a default background with a blurry text that says 'whistler')
