Windows98 Central, onderdeel van het AnandTech imperium, heeft het eerste deel van hun Windows 95 4th edition preview online geparkeerd. Dramatische verbeteringen lijkt Millennium niet te brengen: het draait nog steeds op de fundamenteel brakke Win9x kernel, wat 'm IMHO alleen bruikbaar maakt als tweede (games) OS naast 2000, NT, Linux of iets anders dat wel stabiel draait. Part I van de Millennium preview behandeld het GUI, System Restore, System File Protection, My Pictures, Auto-Update, System Config en Multimedia gebeuren (thanx CyberJunk86 voor de tip):
In my opinion, one of the most significant improvements is System Restore. System Restore is a real-time change monitor and restore feature of Millennium. It automatically creates both change-based and periodic restore points. Users can step their systems back through these checkpoints to recapture pre-change or optimal system behavior. On demand for space, System Restore will remove older restore points to make room for new restore points. File change and registry copies are stored on the Windows partition in an access protected data store. System Restore monitors the entire disk.As part of the operating system, System Restore is installed enabled with Millennium. System Restore requires a minimum of 200MB free space on the Windows partition. System Restore can be turned on or off .
