Some supremely rare footage of various websites browsed under a beta version of IE 1.0 under a late pre-release build of Windows 95!
Because this is from 1995, the assets for these sites shown here are probably lost forever or otherwise locked away in Microsoft's archive - as for one; the Wayback Machine did not exist yet, and the Internet had a smaller number of users compared to even the following year.
From what's shown here, there's a revision of Microsoft's website that hasn't been seen since then, as well as a forgotten online variant of Microsoft Encarta known as the "Intro Edition" hosted on the Microsoft Network!
These clips were taken from the sixth segment of the Windows 95 Traincast series. The title is an homage to DiamondGB's video of the Internet on April 4th, 1998.
