=== Build 1420 ===
This build was shown off at the Microsoft Conference 2012, and was presented on YouTube. It was a shell of the OS. and crashed multiple times during the conference. The build looked extremely different from the final build. The main difference was in the themes. There were only two of them, Metro and Classic.
=== Build 1450 ===
This build shaped the look of the OS. It mainly added more themes and made the OS more appealing to the eye. Multiple bugs were squashed. It was shown off on Twitter.
=== Build 1523 ===
This Build is widely know as the Bugfix update.
It fixed many bugs and made the system more user friendly. It also added a Startup sound, which was a mashup of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 unused startup sound, that can be found in the files to this day.
=== Build 1569 ===
This build added a new Registry Editor, and also removed Windows Powershell. It could be acsessed deep into the Sys32 folder. The main reason they removed Powershell is because of the lack of people using it since most people used the Command Prompt instead. The New REG-EDIT application was called Registry Changer. It could to more things than the editor. Reg-edit could still be acsessed with the run command or in the Windows folder. It dident work very well because Microsoft abandoned it while making the OS, and not finishing it because of the new program.
=== Build 1589 ===
This version mainly added more themes.
== Logon Screen ==
It added the Longhorn, Metroclassic, Aero, Luna and Da Vinci (Da-Vinci was a modernised version of the Microsoft Plus pack.)

=== Build 1682 ===
This build removed Vivavirus. It was unreliable and did not work half the time. People tried to test viruses on VMS and Vivavirus did not block it. It only blocked safe programs such as VLC, Chrome or Steam. The shell of Vivavirus is still in the Windows folder and apparently in the code.
=== Build 2778 ===
This build added accessability options and a program called SongPad.
Songpad was additional, and you could disable it in the Setup. You could make Tunes, Songs, Music, Albums or even Ringtones. It is disabled in the Setup but one can enable it if desired, or go to Settings to enable it.
