Why not open source old stuff?
SameBrian:
My suggestion would be to email individual companites who have obsolete software and simply ask them about it...maybe they don't because no one has ever expressed an interest in it...I mean...in reality..if someone were to fix up the program than the company could buy it right back and sell it again...

Apologising for lurking wouldn't help, but where's the source to 3.0, anphanax?

Why only Windows?
How about OS X...
Or even QT's first versions...

Well, in philosiphy, Windows 3.11 and down works just like Linux - a graphical front-end for a command prompt. That's exactly why Linux is so damn fast, and Windows XP is so slow. XP is just a giant flash program with good hardware detection, while Linux/Unix/Mac OS runs just as good on half the speed. With the source to 3.1 and DOS you could increase the hardware detection, hack the kernel, make prettier GUIs, and BAM. You'd have yourself the next version of ReactOS.

You'd have so much to do if you started with MS DOS and Win3x
