SharePoint 2010 includes a new set of master pages that support the new look and feel and new functionality in the product. The new primary master page used on SharePoint pages is called v4.master. Additionally, other master pages are used for special purposes, like publishing-enabled sites, pages that host full-screen applications, pages or sites that were recently upgraded from a previous version of SharePoint, and so on.
The master pages available in SharePoint 2010 are described here.
Note There is one more master page, simplev4.master, which is used for SharePoint-specific screens, like Login.aspx, Error.aspx, and Confirmation.aspx. This master page, however, is located on the server and cannot be customized in SharePoint Designer 2010.
Note In addition to these master pages, you can download the Starter Master Page from MSDN. This master page contains the minimum required components, scripts, and placeholders to render a page in SharePoint. You might use this master page to create a whole new design from scratch. The page serves a similar purpose as the “minimal.master” page that was available in SharePoint 2007.
