Windows NT 3.51 build 1002 is a build of Windows NT 3.51, which was originally leaked by NTA on 20 April 1995 and mentioned in a newsgroup discussion[1] prior to it being found and shared on BetaArchive on 2 March 2020.[2] A patch for this build (most likely for its warez release, rather than the build itself) is listed in the DMODE-02 warez CD list.[3]
