The Windows 2 April 1987 Build is the earliest known build of Windows 2 (1987). Still using Windows 1’s (1985) colour scheme, it showcases 2’s new window controls & full support for overlapping windows. This replaced the tiled windows in Windows 1 that users had found confusing.

Windows 3 build 33, from 27th July 1989, is the last known build of Windows to use its original shell - the MS-DOS Executive. This would be replaced by the new Program Manager in time for 3’s final release. This build’s boot screen displays the message “We Believe in Magic!”. 🪄

Remember, Professor, Bender is Santa. So we don't need to hurt him, right?
Yes, yes, yes. You sound like a broken mp3!
Ho, ho-- Ow!
Professor! Don't you remember what I told you?
No!

Windows 8 (2012) introduced accent colours - colour schemes that could be applied to its new, touch-optimised UI, such as the Start screen. Starting with Windows 10 (2015), the accent colours were also applied to the desktop. This remains the case in Windows 11 (2021). 🎨🖌️

Following Windows NT 4’s release in 1996, Microsoft focused work on its successor: Windows NT 5. In 1998, Microsoft announced NT 5’s final name would be Windows 2000, “reflecting our customers’ choice of NT as the mainstream OS”. But many alternative names were also considered.

User account pictures are images that represent users within Windows. Officially introduced in Windows XP (2001), they actually first appeared in Windows Codename Neptune - a cancelled version of Windows that Microsoft worked on in the late 1990s. What’s your go-to user pic? 🤳

Running Windows XP’s (2001) Logon screensaver in the Home Premium edition of Windows Vista gives this curious result: the OS is referred to as “Windows XP Freestyle”. Freestyle was the codename for Windows XP Media Centre Edition (2002), which this seems to be a holdover from. 👀

Windows 1 (1985) included an analogue clock app to show users the time. Simply called Clock, a digital mode was added in Windows 3 (1990). In Windows 95 (1995), its function was absorbed into the Notification Area in the new Taskbar. It last appeared in Windows NT 4 (1996). ⏰
