Build 1592 (July 1997)[edit | edit source]
BIGFOOT.BMP is present here, but with transparency added.
WINNT.BMP and WINNT256.BMP contain this edit of the boot-up logo, containing Feathers McGraw from "Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers" saying "It's Arbiterrific!" (a pun on "It's a bit horrific" and a reference to the developers involved in this edit doing work on arbiter traffic)
Build 1671 (September 1997)[edit | edit source]
A completely different jingle, composed by Matthew Felton.
The logo-off jingle is the same as in Windows NT 4.0.
