Development Release #2 is an early pre-release build of the Microsoft Windows operating system, compiled sometime in late June 1984. Like the previous build, it was demonstrated on the Tandy 2000 personal computer.

Overview

For some reason, the Clipboard application has been removed in this build. It was later re-added in the next build.
