Very nice, but i've never seen Windows 1 Developers Release 3 before, only Windows 1 Developers Release 5. Is this real or just a hack? Or maybe i should ask, are any of the known win 1.0 pre-releases real or just hacks?
Sorry for a bit off-topic (?) and a dumb question, haven't had time to test them by myself, and i am not very into windows betas yet.

The Windows 1 DR3 is just an mislabeld 5.
And they are real (the Windows 1 DR5, Alpha, Beta)

The Windows 1 DR5, Alpha need an special emulator to work.
It only runs on an Intel 8086, 8088, 8186 processor (which any current Virtualization software cannot replicate).

Everything except 105 (checking now).
Downloaded, it is 4.0.105 (by warning.exe), but it is missing the crusial mini.cab file.

Also @OP:
1111 is not an beta build, it is the RTM build of Windows 95 B

Build 202 doesn't exist.

I took a look at the file uploaded, it is named Sparta_203.1_20BETA_202.rar.

Maybe you know URL encoding, a space is a %20.

Now, just replace the _20 from the filename with a space and you'll get Sparta 3.1 BETA 2.rar...

If i remember right the second beta of Sparta was build 014e, so its nothing special ;)

And there isn't any upgrade version of Chicago bld. 81. I bet this is the version released by Ken on OSBA.

Edit: Build 105 is actually build 122... check user.exe ;)

Take a look at this thread at oldos.org (You have to be registred to see it). It seems like they mean that it will be able to boot inside bochs. I don't now :S

Edit: Avast says that Microsoft Windows 98beta1 (Memphis 4.10.1532).iso contains a virus (MW97:Wazzu family). I don't now if this is a false alert or a real, but i deleted it anyway.

I have gotten Alpha to run in DOSBOX, however, you HAVE to install it over DOS 2.x or 3.0. Any newer version of DOS won't work with it. I used the PicoXT emulator to make a bootable hard disk image (containing DOS 2.1), and I also used PicoXT to install the alpha of Windows 1.x onto that image. Then I could just mount the image in DOSBOX and boot it.

I haven't tried DR 5 yet.

Is the Nashville build 999 good? I heard it had some pretty sweet effects in it and I'd like to try it. Also I read that there was another build 1265(?) that was supposedly more stable, but I can't find it.

To install windows nashville(windows 96) you need to have windows 95 installed.
And this build(999) have a very buggy install,and only boot in safe mode.

You need to use PCE - ibmpc emulator. I found this and tested.
