[@SamuelDoesThings2011]

That ain't no Windows 95, that's Windows 3.5!

[@levelairplane768playzroblo8]

This is a breakthrough. Congrats on finding this ! 🎉

[@yannisws]

Ah finally, I've always wanted to install Windows Chicago Build 07200022 (1992 Beta)!

[@PCWindowstechguy]

I honestly didn't expect to see a build before 58 to get leaked, but it seems quite interesting because it also pre-dates the introduction of the start menu and has some bits of design changes in the programs. Anyways nice video!

[@MSNeptuned]

First of all, thanks! I spent a fair while on this :P Anyways, yeah, it’s a bit of a shocker to see a pre-58 being leaked! I got a massive fright when I saw it, no joke! As you said - the UI is certainly unique lol Oh, side note - I subbed to you! Your videos look great :)

[@DerivativeOfLog7]

I still hope someday those builds with the Start menu but without the Windows logo on it get leaked

[@MSNeptuned]

@@DerivativeOfLog7 Ikr! That'd be really cool.

[@PCWindowstechguy]

@@DerivativeOfLog7 Yeah that'd actually be really interesting to see, since the earliest builds (with a start menu) that we know have a Windows logo!

​@@MSNeptunedTry to install in VMware

[@Lynxmic]

nice video! same with the intro, it gives that WinDev-y vibe and I really kinda like it tbf

[@MSNeptuned]

Thanks! I did try and make it WinDevy but with keyframes to make it a bit more professional :P

[@OttoTheBeagle]

[@WinNT64]

0:37 it predates 58s by over a year not by two months

[@MSNeptuned]

You sure? I got this from BetaWiki...

[@MSNeptuned]

Okay, just checked - you're right! I was looking at where it was talking about Chicago Specification something - I'll leave a pinned comment.

[@JustWmB2]

​@@MSNeptunedIt's the "Chicago Feature Specification" Revision 1.00, 9/30/92

[@VillagrBooby]

Nothing really changed from windows 3.1 the biue bar is lighter blue no chcago logo it’s really win 3.1

[@REHAMTECH2009]

cool:)

[@BaldiDevelopmentArchive]

"and predates Chicago 58s by a whopping two months!" nope it was way more. it was over a year prior

[@MSNeptuned]

Yep, ik that. I did leave a pinned comment correcting myself but it seems to have been deleted

[@voxj.]

Nice vid

[@MSNeptuned]

Thanks so much!

[@ilamparithi.]

ah yes 32MB of CPU is just the right amount of CPU to run the build

[@MSNeptuned]

lmao oops I should probably check before rendering…

[@spinguy1429]

nice video

[@MSNeptuned]

[@_lun4r_]

does this include the 3.1 emulation layer as well?

[@MSNeptuned]

I don’t think so, no…

[@Nidhoegger666]

The music makes this video so unbearably annoying...

[@MSNeptuned]

Any music suggestions for my next video? Also you can mute it…

[@SOOWOOGEE]

@@MSNeptuned don't use overly crazy hype "no copyright" songs. use something more calming. maybe use the windows midis? or videogame OSTs

[@MSNeptuned]

@@SOOWOOGEE Thanks!

[@AZaksLife]

It's only Windows 3.1, not Windows 95, pliz

[@MSNeptuned]

Gonna have to correct you there. As I said in the video, this build predates 58s with the new File Cabinet shell by almost a year. It's also based on Windows for Workgroups 3.11 so it obviously has program manager as its shell.
