That's what I meant by different; This isn't the same OP trying to tease us again.
Alias, would you care to share any known history about the disks you have? Such as where did you obtain them?

I worked as an intern at Microsoft in the summer of 1985 when the premiere edition shipped (just like in Tandy Trower's story) and have had them ever since. I installed them on my old IBM PC/XT the other day and they work great. I don't have a way to dump them yet but I ordered the stuff I need and will do it when I get it. Maybe in a few weeks? BTW, I posted this on Facebook because I thought it was funny that people didn't believe that this version exists and got a lot of responses, some from other Microsoft people who were there. One even posted an image of his set of disks along with a picture of a box? You can find that here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...0090517603103.300713.620418102&type=1&theater
Hope this helps.

Now, Disk Images of Windows 1.0 PE is leaked by Alias. Thanks to Alias for great contribution.
Also Windows 1.01 / 1.03 / 1.04 was dumped and leaked correctly.

Leaked sounds so dramatic. At least that shut up a lot of folk up. Cheers Alias for sharing.
What other versions of MS GUIs/OSs are folk still after.

BAs FTP no less.
Here's the thread discussing it http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=33172&p=386272#p386272
Of course I'd never post a direct link to the file involved
That would be against vcfs rules.
Not overly excited myself. Mind you I'm a Windows 3.x guy at heart.

I see they can't lower themselves to host the China Dos Unions MS Dos 7.1. Not authenic you see.

It will be interesting if any of the software archeologists takes a look and finds the bugs that got removed late in the development cycle.
