Will include ALL Windows 3.0 themes, and the monochrome. Do you mean integrate MS Office in there? If so, will Office 95 work on it? Yes, please make the concept.

Thanks.
BTW, still need the VHD to get to work on it. When thats done, its developing time!
EDIT: Change of plans: Taking NT 3.51 base so I can get to work faster. No longer need VHD.

Any fixes on this?
EDIT: This screenshot above is using Virtual PC 2007 SP1, this also happens on VirtualBox.
Are you using Windows 7 as your host? If so, do you have VHD Attach? If so, here's what to do:
1. Attach the VHD.
2. Navigate to the mounted drive letter, then go to WINNT35, then SYSTEM32
3. Go to where NTOSKRNL is, and just below it is NTOSKRNL_original.exe. Rename NTOSKRNL.EXE to NTOSKRNL2.EXE, and NTOSKRNL_original.exe just to NTOSKRNL.exe.
4. Detach the VHD.
5. Try starting it again.

Now working on build 36.
I try to use that guide, but come another BSOD.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic on my laptop.

I like beta testing. (Windows 8)
Yes you can. Build 36 will have to be the BSOD fix release, and will be available to all testers, along with the Interim beta releases. Alpha 2, all betas, RCs and of course the final will be available to everyone.
