Windows However old, Windows 3.x is still being used. Calmira XP 4.0 beta gives the Windows 3.x desktop the WinXP look-and-feel. In this new version an XP taskbar has been added, and even experimental support for long file names. Other things Calmira includes is the XP login screen, and more. And here it is, boys and girls, the obligatory screenshot.

>Windows for Workgroups did come with the TCP/IP stack and other networking stuff.

Actually, Windows for Workgroups came with built in network support (3.1 used DOS drivers), but no TCP/IP. A TCP/IP stack for WfW was included on the NT 3.5 CD-ROM and an updated version (with support for DHCP) was released later.

A while back I installed WfW 3.11 on an old Compaq 386 laptop, with Calmira II (the official version, Calmira XP is "fork") and a program called PrWin98 that themed all the titlebars, controls, etc. to look like 95.
That plus Office 4.2 made it a quite useful portable wordproccessing machine for my grandfather.
