About dialog

Windows 98 build 1588 is a late beta 2 build of Windows 98. The English version of this build was later shared on 23 June 2024, while the Traditional Chinese version was shared two months later on 26 August 2024.^[1]

It reportedly also exists in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and German.^[2]

New features and changes[edit | edit source]

This build features a major overhaul of the Windows 98 branding. Most "Beta 2" references are now replaced with "Beta 3", and it features an early version of the Beta 3 bootscreen with thinner lines, a different background and a "With Microsoft Internet Explorer" tag. This was replaced by the more common version of the Beta 3 boot screen in build 1629 when Windows 98 switched back to the "Beta 3" branding.
The code for displaying a third row below the version number in System Properties has been removed. The Plus! VersionNumber registry string is still present in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion and filled with the version number of Internet Explorer, but the text no longer appears in the applet.
