Windows Pyro

Windows Pyro is a version of Windows released on August 14, 2042 by Microsoft.

Development
In late 2034, Microsoft had planned to release an update to Longhorn. They released build 24038 of Windows 134, and called it Amethyst. Meanwhile, Microsoft was also working on Project Ruby (which would have been Windows Vista Prime.)

However, many people were reporting problems with Microsoft Edge. In 2036, Microsoft decided to stop working on Edge and create a new browser. They called it Jupiter. However, Cortana would not work without Microsoft Edge. And Windows 16 was about to release, and it uses Microsoft Edge. Luckily, they fixed Windows 16, but not Ruby. Instead, Ruby was merged with Amethyst to form Lava.

Lava was planned to release in July 2040, but when the Y2K38 bug hit, Windows Pyro stopped working. This forced Microsoft to push back the release date to 2042 and they had to start over. This time, they called it Pyro.

A document from 2037 said that Windows Pyro would be a Windows 140 variation. This would mean it would use the 9x kernel. However, when the Pre-Alpha build came out with the 9x kernel, many people disliked it. So they decided to use the NT kernel. Microsoft made several improvements with the alpha builds. Build 25015 fixes some zero-day vulnerabilities for tablet users. Build 25059.3 improves the widgets on the desktop. Build 25151 uses the cuyabra font for the time. Build 25507 improves performance for slower computers. Build 25555 fixes several bugs. Build 25614 sets the minimum password length to 10. Build 25710 changes the startup screen to say Windows Pyro.

It was announced at the Windows Pyro event in 2041. When the event ended, the beta release was available to Windows Insider members. Microsoft would release a patch every week that fixed bugs that users reported. The second beta (build 26012) was released on Christmas 2041. The third beta was released on February 12, 2042, and the final beta was released in April 2042. At the same time, Microsoft had just finished the upgraded 9xNTX kernel, and they made a separate copy to try it out. It was actually faster than the NT kernel. It could count to 109 billion in one second. So they used the 9xNTX kernel in the final release. The complete version was officially released to the public on August 14, 2042 at 4:49 PM UTC.

Supported computers

End of support
In 2142, a virus called 9plus10.exe started to spread. At the time, only 0.03% of the world's computers were running Windows Pyro. Microsoft found out about the virus, and, even though Windows Pyro was a century old, they released an emergency patch. They would release the second emergency patch in 2150.
