Some thoughts on 3DMM src slides
There are a set of slides at https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-3D-Movie-Maker/tree/main/cd2 -- possibly slides from PDC 1996?

 * &BELFI052.PPT (with a last save date of 1996-03-04, before Windows 95 OSR2 build 1009) contains some interesting screenshots, of a system with an IE4 build before 1056 (the welcome text is slightly different).
 * Slide 5 contains the screenshot of My Computer with Welcome to Nashville text. Slide 6 and slide 13 shows a system with Athena PIM installed.
 * Screenshot in Slide 6 mentions "the week of November 6, 1995". This is before build 999, but shows working IE shell integration. The "Internet" folder here providing the shell integration looks like a normal folder(!)
 * COCKR052.PPT (the largest file in that directory) contains a screenshot of IE (slide 22) identifying as "Microsoft Internet Explorer Alpha"

TimeDateStamp hash format
SHA256 hash of the PE, where all TimeDateStamp are FF-filled, checksum field is zero, reproducible build debug information block zerofilled. The TimeDateStamp is the last 32 bits of this hash, endian swapped. This also proves that all resources are reshacked onto PEs after build (and before sign), as the .rsrc section is hashed if a .res file is passed to LINK.EXE. The header of delta compressed files contains the TimeDateStamp and pairs of VirtualAddress-PointerToRawData for each section which can be used to calculate the SizeOfImage. 89.241.109.169 14:41, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
