Development versions of Windows are pieces of history that have been recovered and uploaded online to preserve the history of operating system development. I recently posted links to download Windows 8 Consumer and Developer preview editions from Archive.org, so I figured writing another segment on downloading abandonware operating systems should be done. Above are resources for anyone wishing to download an Abandonware Operating System. I will be posting later this week about abandonware software, so check back Sunday!
