Lisa Version 2.90 is the culmination of everything learned in the Version 2 lifecycle.

For enterprise clients and stability-focused developers, this makes Version 2.90 an incredibly attractive option. Lisa Version 2.90

Net Protocol Suite™ 2.90 – Release Notes - Teledyne LeCroy Net Protocol Suite™ 2
By late 1984, the Macintosh was winning the public's heart. Lisa 2.90 borrowed heavily from its younger sibling. The file manager received a cleaner, icon-based navigation system, including the ability to drag icons directly to the trash. The confusing "Stationery Pad" feature was replaced with a simpler "Duplicate" command.
Why does 2.90 matter? Because it was the last pure-Lisa OS. Immediately after 2.90's release, Apple launched the program, allowing Lisa owners to emulate the Macintosh. By mid-1985, Apple rebranded the Lisa 2/10 as the Macintosh XL and killed the Lisa Office System entirely.
