I prefer to Stick with Windows 3.11 than all of the other Operating Systems that Have those Crappy Error messages like XPs Send Error Reports

Im using Windows 3.11 to write this right now, fun stuff, lol. Netscape 4.08 works pretty decent although it doesnt display some web pages properly and doesnt have the ability to
use the latest versions of Flash, Silverlight, or alot of other things. However, its simple, fast, and reliable. Im going to see how long I can hold out using this OS.
I dont know how much longer this OS will be useable but unless TCP/IP standards change it has at least a few years left of its life…

I use windows 3.11 just for hardware testing. I have never had a problem with it booting from one hardware config to another. Cant say that about vista or xp or even 2000

I’ll consider windows a real operating system when it gets perfectly integrated package and credential management with application repositories and system wide updates.

Good riddance. Another abomination bites the dust.

Ahhh, Microsoft Bob. What a great idea that was. I don’t know how I could get through the workday without it.

Thanks for the memories. I lived through the Golden Age of Windows for WorkGroups using a 80386 system. Both went the way of the Dodo.

I can beat that – 286 here with Win 3.1 (before workgroups) hehe.
