Just a heads up for my #Filipino Bluesky folk:

Are you familiar with something called Bayanihan Linux? If so, then if you have copies of versions 1.0 to 4.0, Bayanihan Linux Government Edition, and the Bayanihan Linux 5 add-on discs, please let me know.

Bayanihan Linux 2.0 presentation by DOST-ASTI. It used to be publicly available on their website. The sole surviving copy of it online is available on the Wayback Machine for download, in the .SXI format. This is then converted to .PPT via a website.

(5/5 - 2009)

Pretty much the end for the lineup, as it struggled to compete with the free and collaborative Wikipedia, leaving this UI, which harkens back to the 2006 edition. What a shame, but it was definitely replaced by evolution, like it did before with Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Encarta 2009, shown in a Windows XP VM. Pretty much the same, ever since. Nothing of note to see here.

Encarta 2005, shown in a Windows XP VM. More or less the same as 2004, the only thing changed was the toolbar. Encarta 2006, shown in a Windows XP VM. The UI was overhauled again, with the glossy UI pertaining to the new Aero interface introduced by Windows Vista. Encarta 2007, shown in a Windows XP VM. Pretty much the same, ever since. The only thing that was changed in this version significantly was the home layout. Encarta 2008, shown in a Windows XP VM. Pretty much the same, ever since. Nothing of note to see here.

(3/5 - 2001-2004)
Encarta 2001, shown in a Windows XP VM. The engine switched to a more HTML based one, more has been added, like Alternate Links, and Web Center. Encarta 2002, shown in a Windows XP VM. More or less the same, except the media content has been changed. Encarta 2003, shown in a Windows XP VM. The UI has changed significantly, with the article outline now expanded to the left and the overall scheme of colors. Encarta 2003, shown in a Windows XP VM. The UI has changed again significantly, mainly to be in-line with the XP design language during Longhorn's development.

Encarta 97, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. More of the same, except the toolbars have been changed. Encarta 98, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. The default view has been switched, but aside from that, practically nothing changed. Encarta 99, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. This is where the foundations of the new Contents page had been laid out. Encarta 2000, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. More or less the same, except for the inclusion of the Dynamic Timeline, and scrolled down, Further Reading has been more accessible.

Encarta 1993, shown in a Windows 3.1 VM. The first edition was very primitive, and as shown, doesn't scale up in 1024x768. Encarta 1994, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. This edition brought Encarta to be more in-line with the design language of 3.1. Encarta 95, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. This is the first instance of a flat UI in the lineup. Encarta 96, shown in a Windows 98 SE VM. Bit refined over 95's, and has the Yearbook Updates icon, which was one of it's newest features at this point.
