Windows Codename Embassy

Windows Code Name Embassy would have been a cancelled Windows operating system. Like Nashville and Neptune, only one build, 8113, compiled on December 12, 2011, was leaked. Its user interface is mainly dark gray. It also looks like Windows 8 Consumer Preview in some places and Windows 8 Developer Preview in others. It has some differences to Windows 8.

An experimental "Notifications" menu, serving the same main purpose as the Notification Center in iOS 5 which was released by Apple earlier in the year, was invoked using an optional green button in the taskbar, which can be hidden in the desktop Control Panel. It looks as if it was an early Modern UI application from Milestone 3 builds of Windows 8. It gets the latest feeds from News, Messaging, and others.

Messaging was also a new application that made their way to the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and the final release.

The desktop looks just like the Windows 8 Developer Preview, with a Microsoft Confidential watermark and a more Windows XP-esk Start button on the taskbar.
