What have I started?

I have WFWG networked with Win98 and Win2000, but for some reason it cant see XP, and XP cant see WFWG, odd.

I've also installed some retro browsers like versions of Mosaic, Spry, Cello, and IE3.

Windows 1.01 on a Pentium 200MHz boots up too fast to measure, it's less than 1 second!

280471 2004-10-15 09:17:00 Well, I love Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11, great OSs that can run Captain Comic and Crystal Caves with ease. I then put to you a question:

Where did they go wrong? :P

Instead of rectifying some small, at the time, issues releated to security/networking, and the internet.

Theyt tried to rob: apple, netscape, ibm, and take over the net. This lead to 10 + years of litigation and general scrapping, patent wars, and created the generall mess we have today.

Where it all is today, is not what anyone would really have wanted.

M/S may have the money, but they dont have the affinity of the people. This does not bode well for their future.

A point of view.
