@m9078jk3 Yes but one obscure genius never accounted for anything. It's all the tinkerers and pygmy "intellectuals" who follow in their footsteps who get all the recognition. The true genius must be satisfied with having realized the vision in the first place. He can realistically expect no compensation. (Which is not to say he is entitled none, just that he cannot realistically expect it. The products of genius require a gift in-kind to be reciprocated and they are equally rare and precious.)
This early build of Win95 is so obviously a clone of MacOS 7 (1991) that it's pathetic. Although the Finder menu has been moved from top to bottom of screen, it's still the same functionality.
Windows XP = Windows 2000 (Windows Powered) with nice themies, Windows 2000 sucks to XP because it's networking and compatibility are terrible, unless you run it on a clapped out P3, but even then it's still slow, All beats Windows Vista and Windows 7 tho, Win Vista = Crap Win 7 M3 = Crap
Can you send Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine for this because it is impossible to install, i give the reasons: 1. when i try to run it when i was booted from windows 98 bootdisk, it don't open with message: This program requires Windows 2. when i click Yes or No on Plus! pac components part, i get: Exiting with error code
I kno a web site tht can giv u a pre-installed version of this build, I posted it up in my comments on my profile. Just drag the folder in My Virtual Machines under My Documents. (Must have Virtual PC installed!)
What's really cool is you see a lot of features here that resemble quicklaunch and just the active desktop in general... then they dropped that idea in the final release, then brought it back again for 98... then dropped it in XP and Vista!
woot i have this as well! btw create a blank text file and save as network.drv in the chicago dir to get rid of the annoying network.drv not found box :P
Looking at versions of Software at development after seeing the final product is an interesing experience. Boy, that File Manager look EXACTLY like that of Windows 3.1 instead of the Windows Explorer of W95/98/ME/XP that everyone knows...
Not bad

Wow, that's amazing. I had no idea they started work on Win95 that early. Heck I don't know if even Win 3.11 was out yet?
People were still on Windows 3.1, and that's if they used Windows at all. Half the PC population still preferred DOS back then.

Ha! at 3:04, "Insert Windows for Workgroups Disk #3 with the file largdut.dll"
a) I remember WIndows for Workgroups, it was horrible :)
b) OK so the average computer user is going to read this message? "Oh, I see. They want the disk with largdut.dll. That narrows it down for me!?"

I dont knowe what version we are up to, last one i ran was M3 of win 7 so i dont know how any after that work.
Milestone 3 did not work very well on my Pentium D system at all, and i wouldnt even try it on a P3.
I also felt the memory usage was way too high in that version of windows 7.
