I miss the MSDN Ultimate subscription that used to give you access to all Microsoft applications period, all the way back to Windows 1.0 too.

Sadly there's a lot of "subscriber only" articles and it constantly bugs you for your email too. They're not that well written either especially for something they're asking one to subscribe to.

I uh. Don't know how I thought this. But I just realised I thought the first windows was 3.11

I thought this for the longest time. My family’s first computer was a Compaq Presario 850 which ran Xerox TabWorks software. I had a completely different view of windows 3.1 than most people, and had no idea.
