Windows 99 (1999)

For other versions, see Windows 99.
Windows 99, codenamed Emerald, is a Windows 9x version. The OS was the successor of Windows 98 and the predecessor of Windows ME SE. It is a hybrid 32 bit/64-bit, the first 64 bit in old days. This operating system developed by Microsoft, built on top of MS-DOS and Windows NT, making it the oddball of the 9x family. When it was released, it was met with mixed reviews. People liked it for its fresh new take on Windows 98, but home users disliked it for how buggy it was at times.
It saw an improvement with Microsoft Plus!. The Plus! version was released with some new themes and features as well as better security.
