Windows .net Bootscreen, Is it real?

[johnleakedfan]

I found this off a video of all the windows bootscreens, and I wonder if this is real

I havent seen this before, of the builds I used

There is something about that that does not seem real. I will have to say fake, but very convincing.

1. 3678 is the last without "2003" in the bootscreen and has a copyright date of 2002
2. The builds were not specific and said "Server Family" even in Enterprise builds, not "Enterprise Server"
3. 3681 already has 2003 in the name and in copyrights, which have a modified font (it shows in the GUI slpashes that it's out of place since then, even in RTM).

Your screenshot has a combination 2003 copyright, but old name. So it's either fake or from a build 3679/3680 that we don't know.
I don't know why would you fake something like that, it's really minor detail.

I think this bootscreen is not real, but it looks neat.

It's definitely fake.The text has some strange shadow thing with it.

Indeed, there are traces of another Windows logo and a Windows Server Family watermark. That could be because of bad video quality, seeing the picture size..
