sonu27 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have been browsing some of Windows XP's OS files with Resource Hacker. Then I went to the logon.scr found in the system32 folder. This files is the default screensaver for XP. And I have found these Whistler pictures. 3 pictures. One saying Microsoft Codename Whistler Server, another saying Microsoft Codename Whistler Advanced Server and the last one saying Microsoft Codename Whistler Data Center. As we all know Windows XP was codenamed Whistler. And guessing from the images I found they had plans for a XP Server, Advanced Server and a Data Center, But none of these actully happened.

^_^ Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 so I guess Microsoft didn't do such a good job cleaning upNow, if only someone could get me a whistler WINNTBBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovereignScorn Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Eh, no new news to me... It seems pretty logical considering if you look at Windows XP SP1 cd the files on the 2003 cd look exactly the same... But that makes me wonder... What do you think would happen if you took the files that defines 2003 as an advanced server and migrated them over to an xp installation cd? Think you would unlock the secret XP server systems? Or just end up with disks that have errors on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Of course, you end up having errors. And about the other post, somebody did use the WINNTBBU.DLL from Svr2k3 for WinXP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
