Windows Never Released

Windows Never Released (abbreviated to WNR) is a cult started by jhj22 in 2008. It is where people make fictional Windows bootscreens and (rarely) desktop using programs such as Photoshop or Paint.NET and often compile then into videos.

Windows Mockups (WM) is the same as WNR, and was popular in 2017, while people here doing bootscreens frequently. During 2017 there was an increase in «cringy» WNRs. This lead to Aero Community members starting to consider WNR dead, leading to Twiglets1888 starting the Windows Mockups cult, where each idea would usually have accompanying desktops, logon screens or programs too. This would give people a deeper understanding of how the idea may have looked and worked. However, in July 2017 following a drama everyone agreed to end the elitism and return to doing WNRs instead of WMs.

WNR is worstened in 2018-19, after several aeroians and minderians quits making WNR videos. However, Spyonclear, TLakituGamingTV, ChromaticTM are creating quality WNR content, while being new at it, so there is not always something bad happening.

NROS seems like WNR too, but it is non-Windows mockups.

Etymology [ edit | edit source ]

Originally, fictional versions of Windows we’re called Never Released Windows Versions by jhj22, but it was believed the name got distorted by aqwert22, naming the mockups videos as Windows Never Released. It took longer to blame the Windows Never Released name for it’s english language being broken, which leading some peoples to create Windows Mockups videos.

Pre-History [ edit | edit source ]

• August 1998 — Created Windows Titanic 98, which likely inspired present-day WNRs.
• 2001 — Released Windows RG on Newgrounds.
• 2005 — Released Windows XXP on Newgrounds.
• 2008 — Released Windows Doors on Newgrounds.

Reception [ edit | edit source ]

Redeeming quality [ edit | edit source ]

Nermal Cat, Neptune98, fean, Glosswired, and a few more WNRers is praised by high-quality Windows arts (Bootscreens, desktops, etc).

Criticism [ edit | edit source ]

While the cult is little known, it has gained some infamy outside of the community for the low quality and unrealisticness of many of the bootscreens, as the cult is mostly associated with works by Minderia and his followers. The term «Windows Never Released» has also been criticised for being broken English, along with it being misleading. People who are unaware of what WNR is think that it means «unreleased Windows versions» and may start accusing the creator of that video of lying.

The community also has a bad reputation for its toxicity and immaturity. Since 2017, the community has split into two sides — «Minderians» and «non-Minderians». This resulted from many people using assets created by Minderia, which is frowned upon by the older part of the community for being lazy and low effort. The splitting has gotten even worse, with some people being referred to as terms such as «Arsenians», «Cheat Manians», «Tartarians» and «Fitians». The community overall has been labelled by some as a «kindergarten», especially from people who are unaware of the more mature part of the community.

Even further WNR being criticised thanks by Arsen54800 and Mockup Man (former), while still using Update 5 and it’s modifications.
