Microsoft codenames are given by Microsoft to products it has in development, before these products are given the names by which they appear on store shelves. Many of these products (new versions of Windows in particular) are of major significance to the IT community, and so the terms are often widely used in discussions prior to the official release. Microsoft usually does not announce a final name until shortly before the product is publicly available. It is not uncommon for Microsoft to reuse codenames a few years after a previous usage has been abandoned.
Re: Microsoft Chicago Post by Meow2004 » Wed Feb 01, 2017 7:13 pm Anyone have any idea of how to get Build 56, and 58s in Vmware, Virtualbox, or VPC2007?
There has been some suggestion that Microsoft may move towards defining the real name of their upcoming products earlier in the product development lifecycle so as to avoid needing product codenames.[1]
Build 58s included a new File Manager, Chicago Explorer, which remained relatively unchanged in the initial version of Windows 95 and in Windows NT 4.0. Build 58s still included Program Manager as found in Windows 3.1, although this application was supplemented by the new desktop and taskbar/Start menu designs. Windows codename Chicago Build 58s Screenshots Chicago Build 58s was the first Chicago build leaked to beta testers. Released in August 1993, Chicago Build 58s was very primitive. Windows 95 (known as Chicago) Build 58s is the Chicago Preliminary Development Kit, and a Milestone 4 build. It was compiled in August 1993. It was compiled in August 1993. It is the earliest confirmed leaked build of Chicago.
