(contracted; show full)ducts will always promote greater distribution over commercial shells like Talisman and rival [[Aston shell|Aston Shell]].  Despite this obstacle, Talisman has maintained a userbase adequate to support continuous development since the software's introduction.  Its limitation to the Windows [[Operating system|OS]] is sometimes seen as another obstacle, but it is the only Windows shell replacement that is fully compatible with all versions of Windows from [[Windows 95]] onward.  The current version, 2.9
89 (build 29890) was released in AprilMarch 20067.
