'''Whistler Build 2531''' (not to be confused with the [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_XP_build_2531 stock Whistler build of the same name]) is a bootleg of [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows betas|Windows XP Build 2531]] edition, which was created by an unknown author,. andThis iscould possibly probablybe the first XP bootleg ever created and released.
 
== Description ==
The bootleg is based on a Release Candidate 2 build of Windows XP, andwhich notoriously had several things added to it that weren't in the original build, such as TweakUI, extra backgrounds, and the removal of the timebomb and activation. It is unclear why exactly the leaker released it like this, but a rumor suggests the author was unhappy with the beta leaking scene at the time and did it out of spite. For many years, this was the only release of Build 2531 available until a team on OSBetaArchive later restored the ISO to its original state, and the unmodified build finally would leak in June 2022.
 
Other than these changes, the build is the same as the leaked version.
