Windows Premiere Edition (not to be confused with the real Windows 1.0 Premiere Edition) is a bootleg of Windows 1.01 created by betaguy224, released in 2008. The OS basically pretends to be the Windows Premiere Edition, which at the time of its release, was unleaked and extremely sought after.
Description
This is an infamous fake build of Windows Premiere Edition that was circulated around the internet for many years, first appearing on BetaArchive's FTP after being uploaded by betaguy224 in 2008. Despite his 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, the inclusion of a file named WRITE.DAT which was known not to exist in Premiere Edition, and betaguy224 himself was infamous in the beta community for uploading fake build screenshots. Despite all the staggering evidence against it, most people thought it was real. A former Microsoft intern named Alias would finally dump the real OS on November 29, 2014.
Changes from Windows 1.01
- The bootscreen has been changed to say "Windows Premiere Edition"
- ...That's it. No, really! That's all, folks! Not even the setup is changed! Why did anyone ever think this was real??
