Windows 1.00 VHD With Mouse Support - Real??

[DiskingRound]

Went through my harddrive and came across this.

I do not know if this is real or not, but the dates on this is November 10, 1985. The date of 1.01 is November 15, 1985.
So, What the hell is this? For your downloading pleasure: https://mega.co.nz/#!Sp1RgASQ!cOnYeDHuG ... OEw_r8WpPE

I think this 1.00 must be modified (fake) by any user.

The reason is that all file date/stamps are identical just like.

But all files of MS Windows 1.0x didn't be made with same (identical) time/date stamp.

According to Windows PE and 1.01-1.04, Not all the files are identical.


P.S. Faked image of Windows PE is exist too. (All file time stamp : 08-17-1985, 18:55:42)

Battler also wrote this in the Windows 1.00 topic:

I'm sorry, but I think this is yet another hack of Windows 1.01.
No files are different in size from their Windows 1.01 counterpart, and there's the exact same number of files as well, plus that created date in the screenshot is January 7th, 2003, at 00:14 - incidentally, it's the exact same date, and time, of the files in the Windows 1.01 package, that's available on the SillyProject FTP.
I also did a binary compare using FC at the two versions of the MSDOS.EXE file (it's supposed to be the MS-DOS Executive), and the only difference is in one byte - the version number. And I have enough reasons to suspect this is the case in all the other files as well.
Plus, the 1985 date is, only about 4-5 days before the Windows 1.01 date, and I seriously doubt that's enough time to notice a bug, re-call the product from the shelves, fix the bug, and re-release it.

So, considering all the above-mentioned points, I'm sorry, but I think this is yet another hack of Windows 1.01.

Anyway, thanks for clearing this up.
