This build is Beta 1.4 and the first leaked build to call itself Windows 95 instead of Chicago (though there are still many Chicago references) and was compiled on 22nd September 1994. It's the first build with rough resemblance to the final build of Windows 95.

This build is much more stable than Beta 1 (build 122) and can be configured with sound and SVGA resolution in Virtual PC 2007 without any problems. It's available on BetaArchive in both, CD and floppy versions. A working VHD can also be found online.

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