Windows 91, codenamed Vulcan and later Dazzle, was an OS that was made by Microsoft released in August 1991. 
== History ==
Originally, in June 1985, three executives thought that they could develop a project that would change Windows once and for all. They compiled a rough build of what they called Windows Vulcan in August of the same year and showed it to their bosses, who were impressed and said that they would put it on the back burner until further notice.
When Windows 2.1 came out, several Microsoft employees wanted something that could be released by 1991. The three executives who compiled Vulcan and their teams all got to work, renaming Vulcan to Project Dazzle, and by January 1989, Windows 91 was decided as the final name for the OS. Despite many executives and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, as well as Paul Allen when he heard wind of a chat with Gates, being confident in the developers and their teams, they were both skeptical about the project's outcome, saying that Windows 91 would be lucky to sell 30,000 copies. Never the less, Windows 91 was released on August 11, 1991...and well, 91 completely exceeded all expectations, selling 1,000,000 copies in its first year on store shelves! Windows 91 would end support on November 20, 2001, for normal machines, but support for OEMs would continue until April 20, 2003.
