Title: Windows 1.0
Post by: hot dog on April 21, 2009, 02:01:44 AM

Most likely this will sound silly, but does anyone ever use Windows 1.0 or 3.x anymore?  If so can they be downloaded or purchased anywhere? (|

I didn't know Microsoft were offering Windows 3.1 and Windows 1 for free!

They still hold the copyright claim. It is illegal to download them for free.

They can still be purchased through Ebay.

If they aren't available on the MS website, they're not legally free.

Yes, just like Lucas did with Star Wars starting with Episode 4, Gates jumped straight to Windows 3. In a few years, they'll go back and release the prequels Windows 1 and Windows 2, which will be all hyped up, but will really suck.
