Windows Nashville and Cairo

[meper]

What happend with them and did they end up becoming windows 98 and NT 4.0?
the leaked builds are from around the same time

Nashville was cancelled and replaced by Windows 95 OSR2, while Cairo was planned to be implemented as WinFS but this was cancelled in June 2006.

Nashville was cancelled and replaced by Windows 95 OSR2,

Actually, it's more likely that Nashville evolved into Memphis, given that both are 4.10, and the codename was then reused for Internet Explorer 4.0.

while Cairo was planned to be implemented as WinFS but this was cancelled in June 2006.

Cairo was not just OFS (later WinFS), but an entire OS. We have a build of it (4.00.1175), and we know of the existence of a build from 1992 (I believe ReflectiaX posted the photo of the disc once), but I suspect the whole thing was scrapped during NT 4.0 (Shell Update Release/SUR) development.

Additionally Athena PIM from Nashville turned into Internet Mail and News, which in turn became Outlook Express after IE4 release.

There's also one other known build -- the 1993 PDC build.

[dixieLH]

that is just the install of it
not the work of it ... nor any results...

[Windows2005]

only 2 builds are known

- 297, which was a disc posted by ReflectiaX
-1175, which we have leaked

Im sure many file versions existed
