Windows 3.1 Discontinued. Seriously.



We all know it. Or at least I assume we do. And I loved it. I went right from DOS to this, and man was it cool. It had graphics, and windows, and a file manager, and PAINT!!! It was the coolest damn thing. And until 1/11/2008, Microsoft was still selling it.

Yes.

I am not lying.

Really.

I promise.

No i wont pinkie promise, look it up, they sold it till this weekend.

Mostly it was actually for thinks like cash registers and the almost-as-awesome-as-paint Virgin Entertainment system in Virgin Atlantic planes, which brought about the personalized in-flight entertainment revolution.

But on Nov 1st, Microsoft decided enough was enough and stopped selling licenses.

A sad, sad time. But a legendary OS which will always soldier on in our hearts. And in the fact that modern windows looks pretty damn similar.
