Redestium Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Weird, it could be an OS that MS was working on as a prototype (maybe to Windows ME). :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted January 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2003 If is definitely fake, i know this for a fact ;) However having IE6 on the OS doesn't make it fake :huh: You can just install it :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I don't get whats funny about the IE 6 screenshot. IE 6 was out a long time ago. Way before WinXP anyways. Also, I do remember an organization doing a remake of Win 98 quite a few years ago, which they were going to call Windows 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I downloaded this from an FTP a while ago, and it is 'real' it works fine, just like 98, but dont think that MS made it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
