Now that is something...I almost forgot what Windows 3.1 looked like back in the day oh how it has changed since then

 

havent they just changed the GUI

grim

 

sure looks like it

 

Where can I get the slick Windows 1.0 skin ? This Aero runs like a dog...

Or even better a workbench skin, now there was a proper OS, unlike Windows it was usable in 1985, windows took another five years before they released a decent version...

Also lets not forget OpenStep and BeOS, still few more years and M$ will iron out the wrinkles !

 

Wooooah! If anyone's at work - be careful viewing this one, as there's quite a lot of lady on show at the top of the page!!

 

Thanks Leehaa I missed that the first time around

Oh how I miss the days when all PC's had DOS running on them as a separate entity.

 

Windows/386 2.11 was the first version that was more than just a DOS task switcher. I still have my copy around here somewhere... I remember buying Excel 1.0 shortly afterwards too.

 

Whilst going through some old hard drives I found archive copies of Windows 1.1 upwards.. MS-DOS & PC-DOS (all versions) and even OS/2.. just in case I ever have to reinstall windows on a very old machine...
