This knowledge* must not die with me:

One of the Windows 3.x setup.exe files contains [EDIT: a reference to] Wassily Kandinsky and the Bauhaus movement.

*[EDIT: Many thanks to @nina_kali_nina for confirming!]

Great.

This reminded me of "Killer Crayon", anyone else?

Yes, I'm showing my age again.

Currently in the progress of creating my own bootleg version of Windows 3.1. Its gonna be based off Windows 97.

It even has the windows 9x style mini windows 3.1 installer, but this time it uses InnoSetup.

Couldn’t resist assembling this Windows 3.11 sticker sheet 😅

Small #retrocomputing bugbear/nitpick/PSA:

#Windows 3.11 was not otherwise known as "Windows for workgroups". The product was named "Windows for workgroups 3.11", the reason being that there's also a regular ass Windows 3.11!

There's also Windows for workgroups 3.1! It was just super buggy, especially for networking which was a bit of an issue. So there were free upgrades to 3.11

Also, you could buy an upgrade for 3.1 to "for workgroups".

All information I could find online suggests that running Wabi on #solaris 8 should be impossible.

The Oracle docs suggest that, there are newsgroup posts about people saying it doesn't work, or that complex workarounds are required.

But it all... just seems to work? Very odd!

If you have OCD, dont look at the Windows 3.1 Arrow cursor.
