No, not really, Tabbing to the password and confirm password fields for an
account works properly. Aurora animation shows up full screen during OOBE.
The build tag says beta 2 in it, other than that its identical to 5365.

System Resore, Windows Journal, some MMC consoles in the Administrative
Tools, and Windows Ultimate Extras )

Similar experience. Some high-DPI issues are worse in 5381 than earlier
builds. Explorer redraws folder contents a tiny bit faster, but you
still have a noticeable wait to see them.

Performance is better. Windows Mail is much much faster and WMP is more
solid here.
