The part where the tape went down into the VCR was featured on Beyond the Mind's Eye.

I think it's a Triolbyte animation. Many Trilobyte animations (makers of The Seventh Guest and The Eleventh Hour games) were used in the Mind's Eye series and in heaps of ads for over a decade. While they never released them into public domain, a whole swathe became accepted as stock footage and were used accordingly.

The fourth really makes you wonder how well dosbox can run windows chicago if it can run it at all. I really doubt it though. The builds of windows chicago are most likely extremly buggy. I've only really bothered to watch videos of it running.

Heh I used to be a be a beta tester. If you think it's bad watching it, you should try using it. Chicago beta was AWFUL. 98 and 2000 were my favoured betas.

I actually like the file layout of chicago build 58 build more than windows 95 layout. It actually as the file manager still there. The program manager is programs. The start menu really does not have a lot of function. When the about was clickked you heard some error noices but no errors popped up. The later builds had a game ( I would love to see a video showing it) that was not included with with the final windows 95 and was not in the windows 95 betas either. Windows chicago build 58 seems to be the best of both worlds in its layout with a cross between windows 3.1 and windows 95 even some of the files icons look the exact same as they do on windows 3.1. I saw a couple 32 bit windows files on build 58 so there's bound to be some windows 32 bit support but it's from August 1993 which is before windows 3.11 wfg and I think a couple windows 3.1 games won't work on there and the windows 95 support is most likely worse than windows for work groups 3.11 ( which is rather ironic as it' a very early version of windows 95 but there are bound to be a couple windows 95 games that run on it. I have gathered all of that from youtube videos and knowledge of windows 3.11 wfg and windows 95.

[T]his version of Windows is almost entirely 16 bit including the Cabinet Explorer desktop. There were many new 16-bit APIs added, as a result these 16 bit applications will not run on Windows 3.1.
