What the hell are these?
I get so tired of people just uploading stuff with no description at all. Sure, sometimes it is obvious, and often I will want to look it up anyway. But I don't always magically know what everything is.
So what the hell are these?
You can't just poop in the upload folder and expect me to post it. And people wonder why Idiotville has such strict upload guidelines.
Well, at least it was not another copy of Windows XP :P
Oh, and with a user name of "a2438320" signed up with a disposable e-mail services, I'm just assuming these will blow up in my face.

Why no CD ISO dumps? Weren't these either freely redistributable or part of some other product (I don't know, never did any DirectX programming). Why are these historically important? Why should these be on Winworld? What benefit would these serve the community? Why should I care about these?

As for WW's interest? If it can still be obtained from Microsoft, I don't see why to keep these.
