Windows 95 Build 189
Kernel version	Windows 9x 4.00
CPU architecture	x86
Edition	n/a
BIOS date	22nd September 1994

Build 189 is Beta 1.4 and the first leaked build to call itself "Windows 95" instead of "Microsoft Chicago" (though there are still many Chicago references left). It was compiled on 22nd September 1994. Just like builds 116 and 122 before it, it's visually almost complete and mostly resembles the final product.

Release Notes (README.TXT) from this build also reference several older builds, namely 122, 165, 166 and 170.
