Windows 96 v1 is the last "classic" version of Windows 96 released on the 7th of July 2019.

It dubbed the last classic version due to a total rewrite that occurred between Windows 96 v1 and v2. The rewrite made Windows 96 v1 apps completely incompatible with 2.0 due to a different architecture and API set.

It can still be found at https://rel1.windows96.net.

Version Highlights

  • A package manager was introduced to allow users to install additional apps from what was already provided.
  • KeyboardMusic was added to allow users to make music using their keyboards.
  • Many window manager bugs that existed in version 0.5 were fixed (e.g. active window switching bug).
  • The x:/content folder was emptied.
  • Window icons were added and the taskbar functionality was improved.
  • Many apps had their functionality refined.

Trivia

  • This version was the main version of Windows 96 for a very long time.
  • Most changes were API updates and app refinements compared to version 0.5.
