Previous versions had limited support at best with most applications preferring to remain in DOS, APIs like WinG paved the way for modern counterparts such as DirectX and some, such as Video for Windows, are even still used today with only minimal changes. Windows 3.11 was the first Windows to really hit home, quite literally. Then there's the massive variety of applications available for it.
Even the quirks that don't make sense have a charm to them, such as how you use the "Disk" menu to share a directory.

My favorite? Windows 3.11 or, more specifically, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, why? The interface just feels right to me, I like the utilitarian looks it has the plain colors, the lack of pointless animations and trim, the sheer simplicity of making it do what you want and, at the same time, the complete headaches caused when trying to install certain hardware or networks, the light footprint which means it will even run on a slow 386 (Or even a 286 for the non-Workgroups version ) fairly well. So, what's your favorite operating system and why? I imagine any responses will be predominantly Windows and DOS versions, but hey, if you like Linux or your masochistic and like running ZX Spectrum BASIC that's just as valid. This seems like a good one to start with for anyone who comes over here, though you should be able to post your own topics if you want to. Posted 4:21 AM (#11) Subject: Favorite Operating System?
