MSTV: Windows 95 Traincast #6 - Remote Connectivity with Windows 95

TAPE 09+10/12 (June 13, 1995)
This one is pretty special, as it features not one, not two, but three builds in this segment alone! Those builds being 467, 471, and 476 respectively. As far as prerelease materials go, 467 is the earliest known build to feature the "May Test Release" splash screen with finalized loading bar and palette swapping.
The juicy part comes in at 1:30:57 when Microsoft Plus! is being installed, this one being an early prerelease build where some desktop themes are different from their retail counterparts - shown in the second half of the segment. Examining the directory pathnames closer, it appears this is build 108, which hasn't been indexed online as of writing this. The aforementioned differences are also later seen in the publicly available build 111. Funnily, during the installation procedure, they left in - I kid you not, 4 straight minutes of nothing but a shot of setup copying files over complete with dead silence (besides the analog signal buzzing).
They then show a prerelease version of Internet Explorer 1.0 visiting several websites, including Microsoft's own website (a version which hasn't been seen prior!) which I already uploaded several clips of that, so I'll spare the extra details here. Some footage of 3D Pinball (which was called Maelstrom during its early development) is also used as an example of the richness of Windows 95's graphical capabilities, even though 3D Pinball is also playable under Windows 3.1. The MSN service is also demonstrated showing off the official website as well as an obscure and forgotten online version of Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia called the "Intro Edition" - predating Wikipedia by over five years.

Thank you for all of your hard work in preserving these and making them available unmolested to everyone!
