Windows 1?

[gimpy530]

I know there is a Windows 1, 2, and 3 but has anyone here ever used any of them? I installed Windows 2.03 Earlier this year at vo-tech....amazing how far operating systems have come.

[Nick Grana]

Windows 1.0 (1985) and Windows 2.0 (1987)
I really only got into 3. Microsoft Windows 3.0 was released May, 22 1990.
I'd be hard pressed to set up a work group in 3.12 right now.
I always loved dos but it's almost out.:cool:

I barely used windows 3.1, never really liked it - was more of a dos person at that time.

[Snurfen]

3.1 and it's nightmare sibling 3.11 were absolute dogs. Only surpassed in awfulnes by 3.5.1 (or three and a half as it was known over here).
O/S2, now that was a beauty.

[smurfy]

1 and 2 - never had a look at them let alone used.
Always used DOS in those days.
Can't say I minded using 3.1 that much. 95 was really the quantum leap forward.

Still have install media for:
DOS 6.21
Win 3.1
Win NT3.51
Win 95 (+"a" patch)
Win 95b*
Win NT4.0 (+ SP5)
Win 98SE*
Win 2k Pro*
Win 2k Server*
(*=currently installed and running)

I can beat that smurfy. I've got DOS 5.0 and PCDOS 6.3. IBM originals, still in their boxes, unopened. That's right, the shrink wrap is still on them. I saved them from the dumpster at my old workplace, a year or two a go. Why they were only just then throwing out unused DOS packaging is beyond me.

I have

Mandrake 2006 64 bit (linux)
DOS 5.0
DOS 6.22
Win 1.00
Win 1.01
Win 1.03
Win 2.03
Win 3.11
Win 95
Win NT 4.0
Win 98SE
Win ME
Win 2000
Win Xp (Home/Pro/MCE/Pro x64)
Windows 2003 Server

In the process of getting Vista beta 2 x64 and kubunto 6.06 x64 (linux)

And I got them all "legally" :naughty:

u can get the old windows 1 and 2 clipboard, calc, etc.. from one site (I am using the windows 1 calc on my USB Flash drive as a portable application), i will post here when I have that site found (I think i have it bookmarked).. :0)

[sofaking]

I've got an ancient computer in my room with Windows 3.1 on it. 486DX processor, 8 mb of ram & 120 MB harddrive. Having used Windows 98 and up for so long, I still can't get over the "Exit Windows" option!

[Mr Bean]

I have two lappies. One running 3.1 and one running Win98.

The difference in the 2 operating systems isn't really much to go by

Oh and by the way...

I have given them both to my 4 yr old along with a multimeter. ;)
