Windows 95 build 90c

Windows 95 build 90c is an internal Milestone 6 build of Windows 95, which was originally scene-leaked and considered lost, but was later found and uploaded to BetaArchive by Battler on 17 November 2017. It is a re-compile of build 90, based on the letter following the build number. In general, this build has a very similar feature set to build 89e, including all of the bugs from the previous build.

New features and changes

 * This build includes an application to play CD Audio. It can be run via, but it fails to load due to insufficient memory.
 * The Games folder has been moved to inside the Accessories folder.

Windows 94 and 4.0 references
This build is the only known build of Microsoft Chicago that includes a reference to Windows 94. A dialog used by setup mentioning Windows 94 was discovered by the BetaArchive member Lucas Brooks. This find is interesting as the first build to use Windows 95 branding was build 189, which was compiled six months after build 90c.

This find also suggests Chicago was planned to be called Windows 94 in the first part of 1994. It's also possible this was one of a few final names considered at the time.

In addition ther eis also a Windows 4.0 reference. When creating an emergency boot disk, setup will prompt the user to label the disk as "Windows 4.0 Emergency Boot Disk".
