The operating system development was discontinued in 1996 due to working on better support for Windows 95 (with several OSRs following that same year) and Windows NT 4.0 (also scheduled for release in 1996). However, the Internet Explorer integration features of Windows Nashville was later added into Internet Explorer 4 (and later into Windows 98), which included Windows Desktop Update. The Nashville codename was re-used for that project as well.
