Windows 95 build 216 is the earliest leaked Beta 2 build of Windows 95 and the first leaked build from the 2xx range. Its appearance is very similar to the final product.

This build was first leaked to the warez scene by "Mickeysoft" of the warez group "Nokturnal Trading Alliance" (NTA). It was later found on a DAT tape and releaked by BA member Darkstar on the 14th of May 2010.
