Windows Whistler boot screen, Real?

Post by DiskingRound »

Found this off a YouTube video of all the windows startup and shutdown sounds, I wonder if this is real:

This is weird because the "Beta 2 Release" text is removed.
I haven't seen this boot screen before. It's not in Whistler Server 2467, nor Whistler 2428.
Does anyone know if this boot screen is real? If so, when does it appear?

But, look, guys: no Beta 2 brand... And copyright text, in Beta 2 builds, was divided as follows:

Microsoft Corporation
Copyright xxxx-xxxx

Not real, then...

Win7

P. S.: But I can't confirm the copyright thing, as it's been a long time since I don't install Whistler 2430...

This is the Whistler Beta 2 bootscreen with the Beta 2 Release text removed, nothing else.

Not real. All Windows Whistler builds from 2428 to 2469 have the Beta 2 Release text at the bottom of the bootscreen while the one you posted doesn't have that text.
