Good times, when you only got, what you chose to install.
I found this tucked away in the back of a drawer, and I thought some of you might find it interesting – this was the very start of windows NT, which 8 years later was to succeed Windows 98 and become the first version of current-day windows.
I remember when that was the hottest stuff around.
That’s the SDK. Windows itself often came on a handful of floppy disks 30 years ago. I remember the little white boxes of 3.5″ disks from Dell.
But I did forget that NT was out in ’92 (edit: NT came out officially in July ’93)
And the disc is face down on a desk. It is now ruined. Lol
That’s still good, you know.
It’s been a while. Does the CD still work?
This is not a Windows operating system CD. It is the development SDK for 32 bit Windows applications, which were fairly new in 1992. Windows 3.1 was 16 bit.
I remember Windows 3.11 would fit on six floppy disks. MS Word for Windows took five.
Several years ago my youngest boy saw an old copy of Windows 98 on my desk. He then said to me I thought they were only up to 8?
Was a Nice Try.
after 30 years, it still feels like the UI is still not there although i like 11 more than anything else before it
Someone didn’t go to math class
