'''Windows 2.9''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 3.x|Windows 3.0]] edition, which was created by air101. It released to OSBetaArchive sometime in 2004. This bootleg pretends to be a beta version of Windows 3.0.
== Description ==
This bootleg was likely created because, at the time of its release, very little was actually known about Windows 3.0 development. Not a single beta was known to exist, and it wouldn't be until a decade after this bootleg was released that an authentic beta of Windows 3.0 was found ({{link|url=https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30764|name=Build 55}}).
This bootleg is extremely sloppy, as most of the strings still refer to the OS as "Windows 3.0" (despite the setup being labeled "Windows 2.9").
