That’s not a typo. Windows 96 promised to build on the success of Windows 95, yet it never materialized as originally intended.

I only learned about this a few months ago. To me, this was an incredibly fascinating discovery and wanted to write about & share it.

I remember that leak. I installed it and it was a buggy mess. The only thing I remember from it was that the minimize/maximize/close icons on a window turned from black to blue if you hovered over them.
