== Security updates ==
Some security updates were released for this build between October 2008 and February 2009, for x86 and AMD64 architectures (descriptions for which referred to as Windows 7 Pre-Beta), with file versions ranging up to 6801.4xxx.https://app.prismdrive.com/drive/s/pSAOgs0BREZnG2ZvdVqVSe6fJZLxYWUpdates for this build on the Microsoft Update Catalog
== New features and changes ==
===Windows Recovery Environment===
When booting from the onboard Windows RE partition, Startup Repair now launches instead of the System Recovery Options. Startup Repair needs to be canceled to access the Recovery Options.
===Personalization===
Multiple wallpapers can now be selected as default wallpaper, where they will rotate after a specific interval set by the user.
The Personalization Control Panel applet in its whole has been removed from the Starter SKU.
===Windows Mail and Calendar===
The Windows Mail and Windows Calendar applications turned into non-functional stubs, thus are no longer able to be opened. The other files for them are still present though.
===Internet Explorer===
While the version number has been set down from 8.1 to 8.0, a "Suggested Sites" drop-down has been added to the favorites bar.
===Windows Media Player===
The ability to change the background graphics in the Windows Media Player library has been removed.
==Bugs and quirks==
*Stability issues can be encountered while moving desktop gadgets.
*Much like in build 6780 and build 6776, it is not possible to upgrade to this build due to an issue in the way how Windows Setup handles disk volumes.
** Upgrading from build 6776 will not encounter the bug.
*In Getting Started, the text below "Find out what's new in Windows" is missing, which results in displaying placeholder text.
