Finally, while I'm not a fan of M$ (as you all know), here is the biggy(?) of the set...all 5 installation floppies of Windows 3.0 that came with my KLH PC. Must admit, I'm a little anxious to make images and see if I can get it installed on either FreeDOS or a VM with the KLH DOS 4.01 disks I showed. (BTW, not photo'd is a...borrowed...copy of DOS 5.0. I didn't stick with 4.01 for too long.)
Next up, Windows 3.1 Secrets, The Best in Windows Shareware from IDG books. Sorry, haven't looked at the contents yet to see what's on it.
Great.
This reminded me of "Killer Crayon", anyone else?
Yes, I'm showing my age again.
Very tempted to write any complaint letter in Microsoft Bob Writer from now on:

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.
