    I chose WfW 3.11. All the good stuff from 3.1/3.11 with integrated networking.
    I still have the original disks!

    Probably NT 4.0 Workstation, which is probably my favorite OS in general.

    Which I never can seem to get to install... :(

    NT 4 is an OK OS, but it's an NT OS, not classic. For me, anything but 3.0 is OK. Although 3.0 has a beautifl startscreen.

    PS. Fish, I cleaned up your posting.
  • DuffDuff
    3.0 does have a beautiful start screen as does NT 4.0. My favorite classic Windows is WFW 3.11, as it has intergrated networking.

    I had to choose WFW3.11... networking integrated into a nice 3.1 interface :D
  • Ka0sKa0s
    Out of these options, I'd choose WFW 3.11... Since I used to love using my 66MHz / 16MB with that...

    Id have to say Windows For Workgroups v3.11.

    Basically becuase...its the newest of all and runs on a 386 smoothly.

    My own personal fayourite is windows 3.0 which i run on the pc emulator on the amiga with calmira on top. 98se is wht i use most and as far as i`m concerned is just about perfect the GUI is just about what i like, tho a 2 window file manager built in would be helpful like the one i hve for the amiga but hey! i can always just open 2 directory windows :) I just wish it was more stable.X{ looks absoulutely awful before its cusomised and the classic look restored but the search tool is a step backwards

    Carried out an experiment on a p120 with 128mb ram

    copied all setup filed tpo the hrd drive 13t then ran setup for some versions of windows time to boot to a usable desktop from typing the setup commnd are as foollows:

    95b takes approx 25 minutes to boot to desktop (without instlling extraa drivers)
    3.1 takes about a minute to set up
    3.0 takes bout 10 seconds to set up and boot to desktop


    Woof

  • rubenerdrubenerd
    I have fond memories of Windows 3.0... we had that on our home machine when I was really small. I really liked the default teal colour scheme so when we upgraded tp 3.1 I changed the colours to match 3.0 :wink:
  • Mr. CleanMr. Clean
    lol, the thing i remeber the most was that the program folders were on the desktop

    the nt 4.0 startscreen (the one in back of the logon dialog) is some of the best image work ms has done!

    WFW 3.11

    NT 3.51 is bitchen for Classic. NT4 is just the best of them all, but the begining of a new time period for Windows NT.

    hey Q, what exactly happened when you COMPLETELY removed IE?
  • QQ
    Weird things happened (in 2000P). Scheduled tasks (In the control panel) became a folder with 3 boxes for a name (In the start menu), but not named when opened normally. Add/Remove programs crashed MSHTA.EXE, and logging into a router with Windows Explorer crashed EXPLORER.EXE. That'll all I remember.

    Damned microsoft, bet they did that on purpose :roll:

    Have to think about it, they built it with IE, its not like they built the OS and added IE to it.
