Bluestron Explore (codenamed Jacksonville) is an operating system by Dantastic Inc, released to manufacturing on March 12th 2021. It is the first operating system in the Bluestron operating system line. Development began on March 10th 2021 and was completed on March 12th 2021.

Development
Development was started on March 10th 2021, initially known as "New custom OS (not Windows)". The idea for Bluestron began with a thought that Daniel Lawson had a week prior. Later that day, it was revealed to be Bluestron. It was originally planned to be built alongside Windows Longhorn, be a single OS that will recieve updates, and it's initial release date would by on May 1st 2021. On March 11th, Windows Longhorn was cancelled since no one wanted to be a developer which made Bluestron the only OS in development. Later that day, it was revealed the codename was "Jacksonville" and the release date would be changed to April 2nd 2021. The first build was confirmed to be compiled that day. While the Beta was being developed, some people received pre-Beta builds through "Development Preview". It was later renamed to the Insider Preview and was made more available. Later that day, the Beta build was released. Minutes before, it was announced that the final name for Bluestron Jacksonville was Bluestron Explore. Shortly after Beta was released, a post-Beta build was released to a few people and that it would be in Release Candidate. However, the Release Candidate build never happened. At 11:20pm, the RTM build was uploaded to Discord for early access. Windows Explore will be released publicly on April 2nd 2021.
