Despite betaguy224's insistence that it was real, several things pointed towards it being fraudulent:
* The memory management system was identical to 1.01, despite Microsoft's claims that they'd rewritten the memory management between Premiere Edition and Windows 1.01.
* The inclusion of a file named <code>WRITE.DAT</code>, which was known not to exist in Premiere Edition. The file was later removed.
* betaguy224 himself was infamous in the beta community for uploading fake build screenshots.
Despite the staggering evidence against it, many people thought it was real, and it remained available on BetaArchive's FTP until August 2013. A former Microsoft intern named Alias would finally dump the real OS on November 29, 2014.
