This is a comparison between the leaked pilot and the officially aired pilot. Both have different scenes, dialogue, actors, soundtrack, etc. I have not listed the changes in music in this overview, because there are a lot of changes and differences. This sums up the changes in scenes, actors and dialogue.

It shows Sarah, John and Cameron sneaking to Dyson's home, and a different font in the title car. Also, Sarah gives a voice-over:
Sarah: Two years ago, I had to tell Miles Dyson his research at Cyberdyne would lead to the birth of Skynet. I had to tell him he was the unknowing father of a nuclear apocalypse. He refused to accept his fate and died trying to change it. And if I am to have any chance of tracking down Skynet again, I have to tell his widow that even Miles changed his own fate... he didn't change ours. Sorry Miles. |
