- The team name has changed from "Microsoft Systems Beta Group" to "Microsoft WPG Beta Team".
- The "Change Configuration Info" and "Generate Report" buttons were replaced with "Change Site Information" and "Write Report to Disk", respectively.
- Clicking the "Write Report to Disk" button will now only allow you to save your report to the hard disk, instead of giving you the option to send directly to the Chicago team.
Build 73
Build 73 was available on the FTP for some time before it was discovered that it is a modification of build 73g and was removed. However, it is safe to assume that builds 73 and 73a-73e also exist.
"Build 78"
Build 78 was originally leaked to another beta community. It was eventually found out to have been fixed with files from build 73g and most of its files were modified 73g files, so it was removed from the FTP.
