NetShow was Microsoft's framework for network broadcasting, intended to compete with RealNetworks RealMedia.[1] It is now renamed and marketed under the Windows Media umbrella.
NetShow 1.0 came out in 1996.[2] A newer version, 2.0, was included in Windows NT 4.0 SP3 in 1997.[3] Version 3.0 came out mid-1998.[2] The whole product line was renamed to Windows Media in October, 1999, four months before Windows 2000 appeared.[2]
