This was corrected for 98SE. I guess versions older than 3.1 were not very widely used. I used to have Windows 3.0 on 5.25" floppies, installed it just for kicks but never really used it. I just remembered there were several versions of NT as well, XP basically being one of them released a few years too late. Considering what just happened to 10, I'm glad I'm still on 7 Pro.
You both missed WIN Me - Millenium Edition, 98 with "media center" and messenger enabled all the freaking time. Shipped with minimum memory, they bogged down with anything beyond Adobe Acrobat reader installed. Even at 512MB, the OS bogged down. Blue screens were common as well - I never had it, but a dear friend (who's husband WON the computer and WinME) had it, and I was their guru. Wipe the IE and AOL cache for them and it worked okay for a while....
