BSOD
This build is the first build to include the sad face BSOD (Black screen of death). It's a mix between the earlier ones, and the 8102 one.
OOBE
Setup
This build is the only leaked build to include some funny jokes during setup. This could have been removed from the final version of Windows 8 because wanted to follow a more strict way for enterprise customers. Nonetheless this has the advantage of distracting the user during the long setup process.
