Changes[edit | edit source]

The minimum disk size requirement has been increased from 107 to 114 MB.

Findings[edit | edit source]

Internet Explorer 2, Full Tilt! Pinball and WordPad are available on the installation media for all available architectures. The latter two can be installed by right-clicking their setup information files (wordpad.inf in the main folder and pinball.inf in the architecture's folder) and selecting Install. Internet Explorer 2 can be installed by launching setupie D:\ie20 in the main folder. The desktop shortcut to Internet Explorer appears at the next login.

All applications are only available for the English localization (both free/retail and checked/debug compiles), as they are missing on the installation media of the German one.

Quirks[edit | edit source]

  • The drop-down menus of WordPad use the System font.
