Windows Kalori

Windows Kalori (codenamed Windows NL) was a cancelled Windows system partially based on the NL technology.
== History ==
In March 1999, IBM releases a new system technology called NL (New Life), that was supposed to be more faster and secure than NT (which it was based on), featuring new functions as well as support for 1024-color monitors.
In April 1999, Microsoft starts developing a prototype operating system codenamed "Microsoft NL", which then became Windows Kalori.
The beta testers of the system described it as "good but unstable".
After roughly 3-4 days after the release of the system, people started to notice that the UI elements started disappearing, such as the Start menu, file icons, background and other until the system would become unusable. This happened because of a critical bug in the NL version the system was built on.
Microsoft employees tried to fix the bug, but it was impossible. They had to ask IBM to release a new version of NL, but unfortunately, they couldn't fix the bug either. They began to develop the technology from the start. IBM released a new technology called NL+ on March 1st 2000, that was significantly better than NL as well.
Microsoft began developing Windows Kalori Extend, which would include more features and will finally fix the bug, but on June 3, 2000 IBM decided to end support for the NL and NL+ technologies, seeing how unsuccessful it was compared to other technologies. Windows Kalori Extend was never released, but a single build is known to still exist.
== Sounds ==
Windows Kalori used the Windows 2000 Beta 3 sounds, when Windows Kalori Extend used the Windows 2000 Release sounds
