Windows 1.0

[Summo]

Microsoft have been dredging up the past but they've released an interestic pic of Windows 1.0.

Excuse the warped view - photo is from an old concaved monitor.

Grooveh to see that Windows 2000 reverted back to that same blue background. Kind of. And that the overall file structure has hardly changed at all since 1985.

Discuss.

Dunno. I still do most of my work in Command Prompts and DOS text editors

 

[Summo]

Then you're a weedy little nerd.

Win1.0 probably crashed a lot less often than win95/98/me

 

[Summo]

That's because it didn't run anything.

Welcome to the forums, BTW.

Thanks m8,

I've posted a lot more here in the last three days, than I did on wireplay in over a year, maybe it was because wireplay forums were so so, even on ADSL

Maybe it's becasue we're all charismatic groovsters, commenting intelligently on the issues of the day.

Cuppa?

 

[Wij]

Try running a 3.11 and you'll see the fastest OS

 

[old.technostorm]

I've actually used windows 3.1, it is fast, and very stable!

...are you sure it was made by microsoft?

For all of you that are yearning to savour Microsoft offerings of the past, click here. .

The main page is in german, but click the top link (operating systems) to see some 'nice' goodies.

Thanks, m8eh! Time for a rummage...

And Technostorm... Win 3.1 was the first OS I ever used and supported. It was as stable as a fart in a bath and was never fast.

Windows 3.11 isn't even technically an O/S ... it's a GUI running "on top of" DOS.

But i'm not picky on these things, no sir, not me.

*PICK*

Wazzerphuk! You have a virus!

CALC.EXE in the Disk4 folder is infected with the W32/Hybris.gen@MM (Snowhite) virus. Go here for more info.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

it's a good job I've never opened that .rar then

I'll take it down from the webspace and delete it. Thanks for the information. Apologies to anyone out there.
