That’s not a typo. Windows 96 promised to build on the success of Windows 95, yet it never materialized as originally intended.
I only learned about this a few months ago. To me, this was an incredibly fascinating discovery and wanted to write about & share it.
I borrowed Win 95 on floppy, from a friend at college. I dropped out shortly after and could not find him to give him back the disks before I left. So I ended up installing it during the summer of 96. I forget when I moved to 98.
