Unstable releases!
saddlemagic:
Windows 386 was the first Windows I ever bought. I tried running it on my 386DX20/MS-DOS 4.01 and it would just not work, couldn't even start it up.
Thank you, I didn't have to dig that up, I remembered it. I have this horrible problem, I remember everything. I mean "Everything!" It would be nice to forget a few things every now and then.

I have never herad of win386. I have only heard of win 1.X/2.X/3.X/95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
saddlemagic:
Windows 386 was a modified version of 2.x that was optimized to take advantage of the 80386 processor. That way it could crash in record time. I believe it was WinME that broke it's record.
Likewise, Windows 286 was optimized for the 80286. I'm not sure what it was, my best guess is just plain 1.x with a different name.
Master of Reality:
i had win98 crash within 1 second of typing in 'setup' to install it. I am scared of what ME might do.
lazygamer:
So does this all mean that Windows XP has tons of code(more like cold) in it that is over 13-15 years old?
