Windows 3.1 Is Officially 30 Years Old
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Windows Central: Windows 11 may be the latest operating system from Microsoft, but [Wednesday was] about Windows 3.1. It's the birthday of the classic OS, marking 30 years since its launch on April 6, 1992. Windows 3.1 introduced several key components, many of which have digital descendants on Windows 11 and imitators on other operating systems. Windows 3.1 ... ⌘ Read more

@prologic That screenshot is from a VM. I have a real installation of Win 3.11 on my other machine (like https://movq.de/v/6d901477b2/IMG_2869.JPG – I think I posted these a while back), but I was too lazy to boot it just for that screenshot. 🀣

@carsten There’s Opera, too, if you prefer: https://movq.de/v/e652e37023/IMG_2872.JPG πŸ˜…

@prologic Yeah, quite a bit nostalgic over here. πŸ₯΄ But it’s not like I have a museum of old PCs, it’s just that one machine. And if it dies some day, then it’s over.

@prologic Speaking about networking: I think we did not yet have internet access back then. πŸ€” There were local mailboxes / BBS systems, but I only really remember browsing the web with Windows 95. πŸ€” Memories are pretty fuzzy, though.

That machine you see in the photos is not the original setup. I re-installed this around 2007, I think.

@movq we certainly did have networking back with windows 3.11. but it was just local NetBEUI and early versions of what is now known as SMB
