'''Windows 98 "TE"''' is a fake version of Windows 98 build 2222. It "features" Windows ME boot screen, but modified, DirectX 8, logos from Windows ME, and many non-Windows applications included. That's not to mention the incredulity that everything was auto-filled, like having an answer file. And the entire system is in Russian.<ref>https://betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32473</ref>
