3.11 was better....
By a factor of about 10. I ran 3.11 on top of DR-DOS (with the best cache on the planet at the time — built-in even!) and thought I was in heaven. Come to think of it, I probably was.
I beta tested 3.0
Buggy as crap. 3.1 was an amazing improvement
Yeah it had networking. Good ole NETBEUI!
“3.11 was better....”
Indeed. Far better. The first computer I bought as a complete system and not put together myself via The Computer Shoppers Guide was the Gateway 2000 Big Kahuna. It came with DOS 3.11.
3.11 was MUCH better.
3.1 was barely usable, horribly buggy and unstable. The best that can be said about 3.1 is that it was better in most respects than 2.x
3.11 (a.k.a. "Windows for Workgroups") introduced usable networking, albeit kinda clunky, but to be fair, everything available for PCs was clunky at that time.
I have a VMware VM of Windows 3.11 that I use to demonstrate that it can be done, but not much else.
Oh hell yes. Then again, 3.1 was vastly better than the disastrous 3.0.
Those were the days when updates really mattered for basic functionality. Now, updates just improve the computer's ability to spy on you.
