It was preceded by Windows 97 Service Pack 2 and suceded by Windows Silver. Windows Premium's development started in 1996 with the codename "Brown". Windows Premium was released for manufacturers in September 4, 2001 and released for the public the same day in 2004. Support ended for Windows Premium in 2016.

== Key Features ==
New Start Menu: The start menu has 3 themes: Bronze (default), Plus! (available only if Microstone Plus! is installed) and Classic
Lightweight Editions: Windows Premium comes with two editions no matter what edition you chose. If you bought Windows Premium Pro, Windows Premium Lite comes with it.
Discontinuation of Cortina: Cortina was a virtual AI assistant added in Windows 97 SP2 (2002), but was removed just after 2 years of its existance due to its criticism among the community. One of the main reasons were Cortina being able to have full access in computers and being able to bloat the computer.
Gaming Mode Removed: Microstone shoved it in gamer's faces by removing Gaming mode after a group of hackers leaked the source code of Windows 97 SP2/Windows 97
Efficient Multitasking: Multitasking became better as you require only 256 MB of RAM to run 6 VM's at once, run other applications and a heavy game etc.
Compatibility Changes: Windows Premium does not accept more than 16 gigabytes of RAM due to how low it's reccomended requirements are. Even 8 gigs of RAM may lead to instability when running Pro and other bloated-ass editions
Time-Traveling Wallpaper: Just like 97 SP2, Users can select wallpapers that depict various Windows eras, from Windows 1.0 to an imagined present, adding a playful touch to customization.
Extensive Customization Options: Added in Windows 4 (1981), Windows Premium now offers a range of customization options, including icon packs, sound schemes, and cursor choices, allowing users to personalize their desktops to their liking.
