Windows Nashville

Windows Nashville (formerly Cleveland) was the codename for a cancelled operating system upgrade for Windows 95, which was originally intended to be released in probably January 1996 as Windows 96.

While the Nashville project itself was cancelled, many of its planned features were introduced with later versions of Internet Explorer and Windows. In particular, much of the Internet integration functionality, including the combined file manager and web browser, could be added to Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 by installing Windows Desktop Update. This update was included with Internet Explorer 4.0 (also codenamed Nashville and released in 1997) which could be installed separately or came with Windows 95 OSR 2.5 or Windows 98.
