No. Windows 99 was a nick name used for developer's versions of Win 98SE,
and Win Me too I believe. No OS by that name has ever been released for sale
by MS.

Well, around that time, the home version of Windows 2000 was cancelled, so
you might be getting a little confused by that.

OK, there was no such OS as windows 99


here is the chronology

win98se was released in 1999 so maybe that's what you were thinking

No. The only Windows versions with names consisting of years were 95,
98, 98SE, and 2000.

Well, I'd stretch that list by one....Windows ME meant Millenium Edition in
reference to the year 2000.
