Windows 3.x has come to the closing moments of its long life.

The various versions of Windows 3.x (including 3.11) released in the early 1990s, were the first of Microsoft's graphical user interfaces to win huge worldwide success.
They helped Microsoft establish itself and set the trend for how it makes its revenues, and what drives the company until the present day.

It was certainly the first Windows OS I used, of course I have dabbled in 2.0 and the like since, but 3.1 was my first experience with a non-BBC and non-Acorn PC.

I remember using it for IT in year 7.

Think it came on 8 floppy disks.

I downloaded and installed it a while back, but got bored of it straight away.


Doom - what a classic game

I still have a laptop with Win 3.1 on it as the operating system. Nice Compaq machine complete with a base station. Up in the loft somewhere along with a lot of other junk
