@Weegeeisgoingtokillm It did, but it was pretty much identical between Windows 3.1 and Vista inclusive.

@aidenscool09 I thought windows 7- turd changed it all up.

I hated Windows 3.1, as I struggled to use this OS in the 90s. I was so comfortable using MSDOS,Wordstar,Dbase,Foxpro etc but windows3.1,pagemaker etc were nightmare to me in the 90s. When 3.1 died to give away to 95/XP it was breath. Funny GUI should be easier to use than CLIs like DOS but that was my experience in 1994.

..Man, this is older than porn.. Solitaire... so gangsta back then.

You can also run this on VirtualBox, or if you feel awesome enough, install it on a real PC with FreeDOS or DOS ;)

Did anyone else notice that Paint, Minesweeper and Solitaire didn't change until Windows Visturd?

I think it's still debated whether it was an OS unto itself or just a front-end for DOS. The bottom line is that you had to run DOS and then load Windows just like any other application. And though you could set a line in one of the boot files to make it auto-load Windows on startup, you could do that with any other DOS app as well, so it was no different there either.

HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH SUCH A SUCKISH COMPUTER?
