== Description ==
The bootleg is based on a Release Candidate 2 build of Windows XP, which notoriously had several things added to it that weren't in the original build, such as TweakUI, extra backgrounds, a fish screensaver, re-enabling the bundled Unix utilities from the original build 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.

There is another build with similar changes that is even earlier than this one, called {{link|url=https://blueosmuseum.com/whistler/xp-2485-2486-2494-2495-2498-2499.php|name=build 2495}}, which was surprisingly not archived earlier in the collection.
