Windows Microsoft recently announced that effective November 1st, 2008, OEMs will no longer be able to license Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in the embedded channel. It's the end of an era.

The first major Windows I used was Windows 2.0. I even found the original floppy disks two days ago, from 1988, and they still work!

Why is it 20 year old single density disks last longer than than 20 day old double sensity disks??!

I then upgraded to Windows 3.0, but couldn't go to Windows 3.11 because I didn't have a 286 or higher - it was an Amstrad 80286, 8Mhz, 640k, vga.

Ah the memories.

Haha, 8Mhz, yeah I can remember those times. Today, even mobile phones have up to 600MHz!! I can remember that it wasn't long ago where Intel announced the 1Ghz-breakthrough for desktop computers! Now it won't be long until mobile phones run at 1GHz or more! This is just breathtaking.
