The '''Moldovan National Division 2007-08''' was the 17th season of the [[Moldovan National Division]], the top division of [[association football]] in [[Moldova]]. The season started on 6 April 2007.
{{Unreferenced|date=December 2006}}
{{Windows XP}}
'''Development of Windows XP''' started in 1999 in the form of [[Windows Neptune]]. [[Windows XP]] was developed for 18 months, from December 1999 to August 2001, and was released on [[October 25]] [[2001]].


[[FC Sheriff Tiraspol]] won the league for the eighth consecutive season. The champions also qualified for the [[Commonwealth of Independent States Cup]] 2009.

[[Image:Windows Neptune Desktop.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Windows Neptune]] '''Windows Neptune''' (build date of [[December 27]], [[1999]] with a build number of '''5111''' and a build tag of main.991227-????) was released to testers in 1999 as an alpha release. It comes from the [[Windows 2000]] codebase. "Neptune" was slated to be a ''home edition'' of Windows 2000, supposed to be released in 2001. But "Neptune" and its business counterpart "Odyssey" were merged to form "Whistler". Development of "Neptune" was cancelled in early 2000.

Starting from build 2250, Microsoft introduced the new [[GUI|UI technology]] to various builds of "Whistler". ''Visual Styles'', as it was called during this phase, was based on a skinning engine similar to [[Stardock|Stardock's]] [[WindowBlinds]]. During this period, Microsoft introduced the "Professional" (later renamed to "Watercolor") theme which was dropped in January 2001. Also during this period, Microsoft began development on a new look for the Start menu.

[[Image:Windows XP build 2257.png|thumb|right|Windows XP Build 2257 Desktop and Start Menu]]
'''Build 2250''' (with a build tag of main.000628-2110) was the first build of "Whistler" released to testers, on [[July 13]], [[2000]] at the [[Professional Developers Conference]] (PDC) in [[Florida]]. It closely resembled Windows 2000 and [[Windows Me]] and didn't offer many new features, but it was the first build to feature Visual Styles. It also featured a task-based Control Panel. The new Start menu Microsoft had been working on was hidden in build 2250.

'''Build 2257''' (with a build tag of idx01.000810-2103) was released in August 2000, after a month of inactivity. This build included the new Start menu in the UI, and it was the first to feature the results of Microsoft's "clean desktop" initiative. Also, the Professional Visual Style was tweaked with new colors. This was also the first build to include Microsoft's [[Windows Firewall|personal firewall]].

'''Build 2267''' (with a build tag of idx01.000910-1316) was released on [[October 3]], [[2000]]. It offered small improvements, but no major new [[features]]. But it allowed the [[user]] to modify the "look and feel" of the system with a functional Display Properties dialog. Build 2267 also introduced a "Compatibility Center", which would eventually allow users to research whether particular [[devices|hardware devices]] are compatible with this OS.

'''Build 2287''' (with a build tag of beta1.001012-1640) was the final pre-Beta 1 release build. It featured a redesigned [[Setup]] routine, a redesigned Help & Support Center (the previous versions were lifted from Windows Me), and some UI tweaks. It was also the first build to use Dynamic Updates, a new Setup feature.

== Windows Whistler Beta 1 ==
'''Build 2296''' (with a build tag of 2296.beta1.001024-1157) was released on [[October 31]], [[2000]]. In this build, the Start Panel has been replaced by a new simple Start Menu, an [[Microsoft Management Console|MMC]]-based taskpad that is intended to make it easier to find frequently-accessed applications. This was the first build to group similar [[taskbar]] buttons and hide inactive icons in the [[system tray]]. Backward [[compatibility]] has been also added to this build. User switching was enabled in this build. In this stage of development, on [[November 13]], [[2000]], Microsoft misannounced that "Whistler" will be called ''Windows 2001''. This name was later dropped.{{Fact|date=February 2008}}

== Windows Whistler Pre-Beta 2 ==

Various changes have been implemented in these builds since Beta 1. These builds were labelled "Beta 2" even though they were only Pre-Beta 2 builds. During this period, Microsoft announced that they had no plans to release any kind of theme builder application so that users can make their own [[GUI|UI]] for use on Visual Styles. Starting from build 2410, the [[Recycle bin (computing)|Recycle Bin]] icon has been moved to the lower-right of the desktop by default, in a controversial move obviously intended as a "poke" at [[Apple Inc.]] (at the time Apple Computer, Inc.).

'''Build 2410''' (with a build tag of idx02.0011212-1507) was released to testers on [[January 4]], [[2001]]. It included a number of new features, such as some new high-color icons, a renaming of the Professional [[Theme (computing)|theme]] to "Watercolor", minor changes to the simplified [[Start Menu]], a new sample [[GUI|UI]] skin, some tweaks and fixes and the inclusion of [[Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer 6.0]] with the new Media and [[Instant Messaging|IM]] Explorer [[bars]], [[Outlook Express|Outlook Express 6.0]], [[Windows Movie Maker|Windows Movie Maker 1.1]], [[Windows Media Player|Windows Media Player 8.0]], [[MSN Explorer|MSN Explorer 1.1]], and [[Internet Information Services|Internet Information Services 5.1]].

'''Build 2416''' (with a build tag of idx01.010104-1958) was released to testers on [[January 16]], [[2001]]. It featured a more attractive Help and Support Center, [[MP3|MP3 support]] in Windows Media Player 8, a new File and Transfer Settings Wizard, a cascading Start Menu, new performance options, and [[System Restore]] integration with System Properties.

'''Build 2419''' (with a build tag of idx02.010113-1154) was released to testers on [[January 23]], [[2001]]. It debuted the final Windows XP Setup routine, and much of the final Windows XP [[wallpaper|wallpaper selection]]. It was the first build to contain [[Windows Product Activation]], which was added to help cut down on [[piracy]]. It was also the last build to contain the "Watercolor" theme.

== Windows XP ==

By the end of January 2001, the final naming of "Whistler" became an issue that news and rumor sites alike began posting their guesses. Eventually, the "'''XP'''" [[moniker]] was used, for "''e'''XP'''erience''." Microsoft announced the final name of "Whistler" on [[February 5]], [[2001]]. Since then, "Whistler" was known as '''Windows XP'''. Also, on that day, technical reviewers received a private demonstration of "Whistler" builds 2428 & 2432 at Microsoft. In these builds, a new visual style called "Luna" was added, dropping the "Watercolor" visual style.

'''Build 2428''' (with a build tag of idx01.010129-1827) was released to testers and reviewers on [[February 13]], [[2001]]. There were not much changes from build 2419, except that it was the first build to contain the Luna theme. The [[boot screen]] and the [[Logging (computer security)|logon]] screen has also been changed.

'''Build 2446''' (with a build tag of main.010224-2228) was released to testers on [[March 5]], [[2001]]. This build featured numerous UI tweaks, updated Help and Support content for digital media tasks and [[updates]] to [[Remote Desktop Connection]].

== Windows XP Beta 2 ==
'''Build 2462a''' was released on [[March 23]], [[2001]].

== Windows XP Pre-RC1 ==
Responding to criticism that it wouldn't be supporting the upcoming USB 2.0 standard out of the box with Windows XP, Microsoft issued a letter to its customers on [[April 23]], [[2000]] explaining the decision. "Microsoft is a big supporter of both USB 2.0 and [[Bluetooth]], as well as many other connection and wireless standards, such as [[IEEE 802.11b]], IEEE 1394, and USB 1.0", wrote Carl Stork, General Manager of Windows Hardware Strategy. "We have been and remain committed to delivering support for these new standards in Windows XP and some of our other operating system products. The issue for USB 2.0 and Bluetooth is only the timing of availability for native support for Windows, and not any decision to choose support for one technology over another. Because of the lack of production-quality devices to test, and because Windows XP must be ready for PCs that will ship for the 2001 holiday season, Windows XP will not have native support for either technology when it is first released to PC system manufacturers. Microsoft’s goal is to deliver support for both Bluetooth and USB 2.0 soon after Windows XP is first available." By late July, the company was already shipping beta drivers for USB 2.0.

'''Build 2469''' (with a build tag of idx02.010508-1228) was released to testers on [[May 12]], [[2001]]. Major changes to [[Computer networking|Networking]] and Net card [[device driver|driver]]s were implemented in this build. This build also included minor updates to the Home Network Wizard, the RAS client connection wizard; the Base, Kernel, Plug and Play and Power Management; performance, reliability, boot time, application launch, setup, uninstall, and [[Windows 98]]/ME upgrades; security & directory services, mainly new restrictions on local account login using blank passwords; and [[online help|help]], management, and remote desktop/assistance.

'''Build 2474''' (with a build tag of main.010508-1907) was released internally on [[May 17]], [[2001]]. It wasn't given to testers, but it was the first build to feature the new [[Product Activation]] UI, which now used new XP-style [[Dialog box|dialogs]]. It was also the first build to include a beta of [[Windows Messenger]] 4.

'''Build 2475''' (with a build tag of idx01.010514-2023) was released to testers on [[May 24]], [[2001]]. This build featured a new [[booting| boot]] up [[logo]] with a black screen that now reads Windows XP, a new introductory movie, a Welcome to Windows screen featuring a borderless window, a waving [[flag]] animation on the Welcome screen that was later dropped, an [[icon]] for Remote Assistance in the root of the All Programs menu, and various [[tours]] of Windows XP and MPXP in Help and Support. Also, Setup was branded with "RC1" text.

'''Build 2481''' (with a build tag of main.010523-1905) was released internally on [[June 1]], [[2001]] and given to testers on [[June 6]]. This build featured a number of improvements, including a new Windows XP tour and two color schemes based on the Luna [[GUI|UI]]. Then called "Homestead" and "Metallic", for their green and gray colors, respectively, the [[schemes]] were among many others that Microsoft was working on, but only these two were included in the final release.

After Build 2481 was released, there would be no more changes to the Windows XP's [[GUI]], meaning that the [[GUI|UI]] is very close to what it will be in the final product. [[Hardware]] compatibility was also finalized, meaning that [[Microsoft]] didn't add device support beyond what was then planned.

'''Build 2486''' (with a build tag of main.010602-1927) was released to testers on [[June 15]], [[2001]]. For the first time, this build of Windows XP Home Edition could support multiple monitors, including dual-view. Previously, Microsoft had said that Home Edition would support only one display. 2486 was also the first build to include the four "sample pictures" that shipped in the [[RTM]] [[version]] of XP.

'''Build 2494''' (with a build tag of main.010613-1739) was released to testers on [[June 21]], [[2001]], which was the first to offer up balloon help suggesting that users tie their Windows logon to [[Windows Live ID|Passport]]. It was also the first build to feature the new Windows Messenger UI.

== Windows XP RC1 ==

'''Build 2505''' (with a build tag of main.010626-1514) On [[July 2]], [[2001]], as [[Release Candidate]] 1. There were no changes from previous builds. This was the first build released to the public via the Windows XP Preview Program (WPP) since Beta 2.

"The feedback that Microsoft has received from more than half a [[million]] beta testers tells us loud and clear that people are super-excited about the experiences Windows XP enables and that we're in the home stretch for delivering the system to our customers", said [[Jim Allchin]], group vice president of Microsoft's [[Microsoft Windows|Windows division]], referring to the many feedbacks Microsoft had been receiving. "Today's release of RC1 further underscores Microsoft's commitment to excellence and to delivering the highest-quality product to our customers on [[October 25]]."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2001/jul01/07-02releasecandidatepr.mspx |title=Windows XP: 115 Days Until Launch |date=2001-07-02 |publisher=Microsoft PressPass |accessdate=2006-12-02}}</ref>

== Windows XP Pre-RC2 ==
'''Amazon's Mistake'''

On [[July 7]], [[2001]], [[Amazon.com]] mistakenly posted Windows XP for sale on its site, and included pictures of its box. Microsoft asked the company to take down the pages, which they did, although Amazon would later make the same mistake a day before XP was released to manufacturing. Amazon would later make another mistake when they revealed [[Windows Vista]] pricing before release.<ref>{{cite web

'''Build 2520''' (with a build tag of main.010717-1624) was also released on the same day. There were no changes from previous builds although it was the first build to include the ability to remove Internet Explorer from Windows XP.

== Windows XP RC2 ==
'''Build 2526''' (with a build tag of xpclient.010724-1758) was eventually released as [[release candidate|Release Candidate 2 (RC2)]] on [[July 27]], [[2001]]. RC2 didn't include any new features, although it had the ability to remove Internet Explorer, and this was the first time most users had seen it. Beyond that, Microsoft said that RC2 was primarily about bug fixes and fit-and-finish work.

== Windows XP Pre-RTM ==

'''Build 2535''' (with a build tag of 2535.xpclient.010803-1621) was released on [[August 8]], [[2001]], though it offered no visual changes.

'''Build 2542''' (with a build tag of 2542.xpclient.010811-1534) was released on [[August 14]], [[2001]]. It was the first build to require testers to use new types of product keys. Like the previous build, this build offered no visual changes at all. Microsoft said that this build was primarily provided to regress existing 'fixed' bugs, to uncover any last minute ship-stopper regressions, and to get a final sanity check prior to RTM.

== Windows XP RTM ==
[[Image:Windows XP.PNG|thumb|right|Windows XP SP2 (Build 2600) Desktop and Start Menu]]
'''Build 2545''' was forked to '''Build 2600''' on [[August 20]], [[2001]], and the company began hammering away at this final build for RTM, alerting the press about its progress and explaining the remainder of the schedule.

'''Build 2600''' (with a build tag of 2600.xpclient.010817-1148) On [[August 24]], [[2001]], was declared as RTM, and was handed off to [[Personal computer|PC]] [[manufacturers]] at a media event held on the Microsoft campus.

Windows XP was released On [[October 25]], [[2001]], to the general public and to retailers worldwide.
