Hey BetaArchive!

You guys may know about this, but I have found an Image in system32 called ntimage.gif, I think this is a leftover from Whistler, do you?

Not sure where it came from

. I seen this in Windows 2000 Beta 3 Before so it doesn't really have anything to do with Whistler

Interesting. Makes you wonder if other OSes have beta files left over in the software.

Vista still has traces of Codename Longhorn in the resources of some files.

Windows XP's msgina.dll has Whistler branding in it.

It might've been in Windows NT4. It does say ntimage.gif.

Regarding ntimage.gif, it's actually published from \admin\consoles in the source tree.

The image is referenced by commggs.htm, which is part of NT 5 Beta 1 Getting Started stuff.

From commggs.htm:

Code: Select all
