Windows Whistler Iso Download

1. Stage in research.
In folder I have extracted ISO image from Microsoft Windows XP ('Whistler' 5.1.2542.0) (Professional rc2) downloaded from BetaArchive FTP Server.
2. I take a SETUPREG.HIV file from build 2600 RTM version of Windows XP.
This is only file from RTM version, which in another case the original 2542 version of the same can be file modified / re-created with professional knowledge for registries and txt-comparing method between files from RC2 and RTM.
Because this file controls the behavior of registers.
And in two words: Unlock Windows... for update.
More information for this on the follow acticle:
'[SOLVED] How to Integrate Service Pack in WinXP Beta builds'

http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22318
3. Stage in update.
I have a folder with updates for Windows.
First of all I successfully update with service pack 3 with using nLite;
After that I use DriverPack for integrating all possible available driver packs. For any case here are and SATA drivers;
Now back to nLite.
In hotfix page I add
[addon] Onepiece Windows XP AIO Post-SP3 Update pack v.5.0.0;
which include Windows Installer 4.5, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player 11, Net Framework 2,3,3.5,4 and etc...
Unlocker 1.9.1
Hold'em Poker
Microsoft signed themes.

In unnatheded just put the serial 'BX6HT-MDJKW-H2J4X-BX67W-TVVFG'
appropriate for Whistler build 2542
4. Runonce command
Because here in Beta Archive community is allowed Anti-WPA for using for beta builds I put him in Run-once post installation command.
5. Windows build string is a proof for one thing, the final product what I made isn't a RTM build, and is:
Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.101209-1646 : Service Pack 3
and for the Windows XP Professional RTM Build 2600 with Service Pack 3 MSDN iso is:
Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 : Service Pack 3
This is proof what makes the system beta and not as some call a warez.
6. If you install KB892130 via Windows Update you get 'your Windows copy is not genuine'.
But you can turn off updates in any time.
7. Choosing a Windows theme for default.
I choose Windows Embeeded theme with modified wallpaper / desktop welcome background.
On the right side with large letters is written 'for educational purposes only...'
This hybrid OS is embeeded on some way, there are still meny files from original build 2542 that simply were not subjected to updating process.
Screenshot:
8. Overall this hybrid system that I got can be most stable and perhaps most functional beta, however has one fault,
*It can not be installed in VmWare.

Debate about Piracy and Warez:
Someone says:
The problem with the above mentioned procedures is due to the fact that installing the Service Packs over the beta releases of Windows XP, especially the latest Release Candidate releases available, would result in a fully functional installation of the RTM release of Windows XP, meaning that, especially with the anti-WPA tools, you would create a procedure of which would allow anyone to basically create their own installation of the RTM release of Windows XP, without purchasing any RTM release of the Windows XP product, which would, of course, result in warez.
I hate to say this, but the entire procedure sounds quite questionable in terms of legality, and that is at best. If there are personal and/or economic reasons as to why you cannot and/or would rather not purchase your own copy of Windows XP, I understand (and also that you would not otherwise do this), but I'm sure that there are many here of whom can indeed purchase Windows XP themselves.

In some way part of this can be true. But with this method no one will get 100% of any Windows XP RTM edition or WinXP with some SP,.. truly they still can get 75-90% fully functional and stable os, but I think we search for a problem on the wrong place. OS created with this method still don't reach any RTM or service pack RTM phase is essentially and they can not be activated on-line via MS servers so...
for ex. The system don't have official Windows XP Pro SP3 string (watermark), but an older one.
The real question is: Whether the use of Anti-WPA is considered illegal or not?!
In addition to the above mentioned:
No one who uses this operating system can not validate it as a legal copy, because firstly it is not the final version, and secondly its purpose is not to be used as a legal copy.

Windows Whistler Iso


In our country, where I live, circumvention of laws is a punishable offense.
But I worked under the rules of this website and I think I got a product that should be intended only for educational purposes, such as many users know that the key files that carry restrictions in the system and thus to expand knowledge of the entire community.
I used SETUPREG.HIV, and SP3 is free, and all other files/updates what I used to. I can not understand what is wrong to use the file that represents only register or use patched or cracked winlogon file, as is the case in many versions of Longhorn.
TweakNT excludes time bomb - is allowed for using in BA community,
Vista Developer Activation - produced by Microsoft,

WhistlerBut those above are intended either for internal use or to support OEM Pre-Loader system administrators. - They were never intended for home use!
And finally we must admit that nothing here is not black or white, but seeing as most fit at the moment.
Maybe in 2014 when Microsoft will withdraw support for Windows XP is this wouldn't be important to us.
All of this software is piracy if ask Microsoft.
In Longhorn case EULA from Microsoft is limited on 180-days - what we doing, use TweakNt, for timebomb, and WinLogon, maybe here with some combination with anti-wpa, and we have os for unlimited time. At first time this break license terms...
What I have made:
Windows Whistler Iso Download LinkI just use reg file and anti-wpa what allow me using to unlock windows upgrade, and in basic principles I just use /integrate command.
However everything what I'd integrate in Windows is free.
Here the most 'irritating' thing is what we have WinXP Pro. Whistler 2542 RC2 with SP3
Whistler RC2 is for testing purposes only
with anti-wpa we get it activated but in no way genuine validated
Service Pack 3 is freeware like IE8 and WMP11, and all other updates
All of this I united under one message 'for educational purposes only'.
After debate for the essence of the whole system, there was a conclusion - this topic should to be in Customatization'

(Redirected from Windows Whistler)
Part of a series on
Windows XP
  • Releases and editions
    (x64·Media Center·Fundamentals)

Development of Windows XP started on February 5, 1999 in the form of Windows Neptune. Neptune was originally going to be the successor of Windows Me, though based on the NT kernel. Microsoft merged the teams working on Neptune with that of Windows Odyssey, Windows 2000's successor, in early 2000.[1] The resulting project, codenamed 'Whistler', went on to become Windows XP.[2]

Development work on Windows XP was completed in August 2001, and the operating system was released on October 25 of that year.[3]

'Neptune' and 'Odyssey'[edit]

In the late 1990s, initial development of what would become Windows XP was focused on two individual products; 'Odyssey', which was reportedly intended to succeed the future Windows 2000, and 'Neptune', which was reportedly a consumer-oriented operating system using the Windows NT architecture, succeeding the MS-DOS-based Windows 98. Based on the NT 5.0 kernel in Windows 2000, Neptune primarily focused on offering a simplified, task-based interface based on a concept known internally as 'activity centers', originally planned to be implemented in Windows 98. A number of activity centers were planned, serving as hubs for email communications, playing music, managing or viewing photos, searching the Internet, and viewing recently used content. A single build of Neptune, 5111 (which still carried the branding of Windows 2000 in places), revealed early work on the activity center concept, with an updated user account interface and graphical login screen, common functions (such as recently used programs) being accessible from a customizable 'Starting Places' page (which could be used as either a separate window, or a full-screen desktop replacement).[4][5] It was later confirmed that Microsoft were planning a successor to Neptune known as Triton, although it was originally thought to be a service pack to Neptune.

However, the project proved to be too ambitious. Microsoft discussed a plan to delay Neptune in favor of an interim OS known as 'Asteroid', which would have been an update to Windows 2000 (Windows NT 5.0), and have a consumer-oriented version.[6] At the WinHEC conference on April 7, 1999, Steve Ballmer announced an updated version of Windows 98 known as Windows Millennium, breaking a promise made by Microsoft CEO Bill Gates in 1998 that Windows 98 would be the final consumer-oriented version of Windows to use the MS-DOS architecture.[7] Concepts introduced by Neptune would influence future Windows products; in Windows Me, the activity center concept was used for System Restore and Help and Support Center (which both combined Win32 code with an interface rendered using Internet Explorer's layout engine), the hub concept would be expanded on Windows Phone, and Windows 8 would similarly use a simplified user interface running atop the existing Windows shell.[8][9]

'Whistler'[edit]

Start-up screen of Microsoft codename- Whistler beta 2, build No. 2462.

In January 2000, shortly prior to the official release of Windows 2000, technology writer Paul Thurrott reported that Microsoft had shelved both Neptune and Odyssey in favor of a new product codenamed 'Whistler', after Whistler, British Columbia, as many Microsoft employees skied at the Whistler-Blackcomb ski resort.[10] The goal of Whistler was to unify both the consumer and business-oriented Windows lines under a single, Windows NT platform: Thurrott stated that Neptune had become 'a black hole when all the features that were cut from [Windows Me] were simply re-tagged as Neptune features. And since Neptune and Odyssey would be based on the same code-base anyway, it made sense to combine them into a single project'.[5] At WinHEC in April 2000, Microsoft officially announced and presented an early build of Whistler, focusing on a new modularized architecture, built-in CD burning, fast user switching, and updated versions of the digital media features introduced by Me. Windows general manager Carl Stork stated that Whistler would be released in both consumer- and business-oriented versions built atop the same architecture, and that there were plans to update the Windows interface to make it 'warmer and more friendly'.[1][5]

In June 2000, Microsoft began the technical beta testing process. Whistler was expected to be made available in 'Personal', 'Professional', 'Server', 'Advanced Server', and 'Datacenter' editions. At PDC on July 13, 2000, Microsoft announced that Whistler would be released during the second half of 2001, and also released the first preview build, 2250. The build notably introduced an early version of a new visual styles system[11] along with an interim theme known as 'Professional' (later renamed 'Watercolor'), and contained a hidden 'Start page' (a full-screen page similar to Neptune's 'Starting Places'), and a hidden, early version of a two-column Start menu design. The Professional/Watercolor theme was never meant to be the final theme for Whistler, in fact it has been stated that Microsoft used Watercolor as a decoy, until they were ready to show Luna. [12] Build 2257 featured further refinements to the Watercolor theme, along with the official introduction of the two-column Start menu, and the addition of an early version of Windows Firewall.[5]

Beta versions[edit]

Microsoft released Whistler Beta 1, build 2296, on October 31, 2000. In January 2001, build 2410 introduced Internet Explorer 6.0 (previously branded as 5.6) and the Microsoft Product Activation system. Bill Gates dedicated a portion of his keynote at Consumer Electronics Show to discuss Whistler, explaining that the OS would bring '[the] dependability of our highest end corporate desktop, and total dependability, to the home,' and also 'move it in the direction of making it very consumer-oriented. Making it very friendly for the home user to use.' Alongside Beta 1, it was also announced that Microsoft would prioritize the release of the consumer-oriented versions of Whistler over the server-oriented versions in order to gauge reaction, but that they would be both generally available during the second half of 2001 (Whistler Server would ultimately be delayed into 2003).[13] Builds 2416 and 2419 added the File and Transfer Settings Wizard and began to introduce elements of the operating system's final appearance (such as its near-final Windows Setup design, and the addition of new default wallpapers, such as Bliss).[14]

On February 5, 2001, Microsoft officially announced that Whistler would be known as Windows XP, where XP stands for 'eXPerience'. As a complement, the next version of Microsoft Office was also announced as Office XP. Microsoft stated that the name '[symbolizes] the rich and extended user experiences Windows and Office can offer by embracing Web services that span a broad range of devices.' In a press event at EMP Museum in Seattle on February 13, 2001, Microsoft publicly unveiled the new 'Luna' user interface of Windows XP. Windows XP Beta 2, build 2462a (which among other improvements, introduced the Luna style), was launched at WinHEC on March 25, 2001.[2][15]

In April 2001, Microsoft controversially announced that XP would not integrate support for Bluetooth or USB 2.0 on launch, requiring the use of third-party drivers. Critics felt that in the case of the latter, Microsoft's decision had delivered a potential blow to the adoption of USB 2.0, as XP was to provide support for the competing, Apple-developed FireWire standard instead. A representative stated that the company had '[recognized] the importance of USB 2.0 as a newly emerging standard and is evaluating the best mechanism for making it available to Windows XP users after the initial release.' USB 2.0 support was later added with Service Pack 1, and Bluetooth support was partially added with Service Pack 2.[16] The builds prior to and following Release Candidate 1 (build 2505, released on July 5, 2001), and Release Candidate 2 (build 2526, released on July 27, 2001), focused on fixing bugs, acknowledging user feedback, and other final tweaks before the RTM build.[15]

Release[edit]

In June 2001, Microsoft indicated that it was planning to, in conjunction with Intel and other PC makers, spend at least US$1 billion on marketing and promoting Windows XP.[17] The theme of the campaign, 'Yes You Can', was designed to emphasize the platform's overall capabilities. Microsoft had originally planned to use the slogan 'Prepare to Fly', but it was replaced due to sensitivity issues in the wake of the September 11 attacks.[18] A prominent aspect of Microsoft's campaign was a U.S. television commercial featuring Madonna's song 'Ray of Light'; a Microsoft spokesperson stated that the song was chosen due to its optimistic tone and how it complemented the overall theme of the campaign.[19][20]

On August 24, 2001, Windows XP build 2600 was released to manufacturing. During a ceremonial media event at Microsoft Redmond Campus, copies of the RTM build were given to representatives of several major PC manufacturers in briefcases, who then flew off on decorated helicopters. While PC manufacturers would be able to release devices running XP beginning on September 24, 2001, XP was expected to reach general, retail availability on October 25, 2001. On the same day, Microsoft also announced the final retail pricing of XP's two main editions, 'Home' and 'Professional'.[15][21]
