==New features and changes ==
===Setup===
*The page of setup before the restart has been redesigned to resemble the RTM. Most notably the "Restart now" button no longer has the arrow icon from pre-reset Longhorn, but it does not work in this build. The user will need to wait until setup restarts automatically.
* During the first boot, the message "Please wait while Windows prepares to start..." has been changed to add "for the first time..." at the end. This would persist to the RTM and would be changed again in Service Pack 1.
*A stage has been added to setup, which performs a Windows Experience Index check upon first boot. Unlike later builds, it is performed before the OOBE.
*Added some new messages when logging into a user account for the first time such as "Preparing your desktop".
===User Interface === 
*This build includes the Windows Aero cursors, but they wouldn't be enabled by default until build 5469.
* The startup sound now also plays during the orb animation. In this build, it will play a second time at login.
*After connecting to a network, a balloon tip will notify the user that the network has been set to public. The user should click on it to reconfigure the network as private.
*Game Explorer tiles, which were first introduced in build 5219, have been removed.
* If a UAC popup appears, the system plays the "Critical Error" sound.
===Applications===
*Windows DVD Maker no longer quits if a blank DVD is not inserted.https://web.archive.org/web/20060702223434/http://winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_5465_gallery_01.asp
*The Sidebar Gadget Gallery has been redesigned.
*Windows Defender uses a new background gradient.
*Windows Journal received new icons.
*Windows Media Center no longer directly opens the Setup wizard. Instead, the user can select between Express and Custom options.
===Control Panel=== 
*Windows Update has been integrated with Windows Ultimate Extras.
*Network Center has been revamped and is now called "Network and Sharing Center".
*Scanners and Cameras now has an option to scan for profiles.
*Several icons have been updated:
**Color Management, Game Controllers, Region and Language, and Services received new icons.
**Icons for AutoPlay, Default Programs, the Hardware and Sound category, and Printers have been updated slightly.
**The Printers applet received a new icon for faxes.
*Audio Devices and Sound Themes, Default Programs, Ease of Access Center, and Performance Rating and Tools have been updated to closely resemble the RTM.
===Miscellaneous===
The text of resuming from hibernation animation has been extended from "Resuming..." to "Resuming Windows..."
==Bugs and quirks==
===Branding===
Winver and System Properties incorrectly refer to this build as "Service Pack 0 v."
===Windows Media Center===
Windows Media Center freezes when switching to full-screen mode.
===Shutdown===
When shutting down, the sound will only play for a quarter of a second.
