Windows NT 3.51 build 889 is an early build of Windows NT 3.51, listed on a Greek warez CD (PC04_95). It was originally shared by Dark Lord of warez group PWA and was later found again on 8 June 2020. The branding was updated to 3.51 in some places such as the boot screen, Setup, and even on the About dialog boxes, but stayed the same in other places such as the default desktop wallpaper.

As typical of other NT builds leaked by Dark Lord, the available copy of this build came directly from the build server, and CHKFILE.CHK shows that this build was compiled with a version of NewShell (although it is missing in the available copy), like the earlier build 854 (leaked by the same individual).
