Judging by the amount of screenshots and users on the site, Windows 3.1 still appears to be the operating environment of choice for many people. Some of its users have even gone so far as to attempt to replicate Windows XP and one developer has even tried to replicate Longhorn, though it is not nearly as successful as the XP or 95 attempts. The laptop barely runs Windows 98, but it ran DOS/Windows 3.11 just fine.Ĭalmira does a halfway decent job of replicating the Windows 95 shell. I had two hard disks for it: one with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 and another drive with Windows 98 installed. I remember trying this several year ago on an old Toshiba laptop that I had around the house. It tries to make you think you are really using Windows 95. One of the links takes you to Calmira is a replacement shell for Windows 3.1. And this where I discovered that there is still a decent amount of people who are clinging to Windows 3.1. Finally, there is really nice links page.

The author made a decent attempt to chronicle GUIs of yesteryear, like GEM, Visi-On, Mac OS, Lisa and Windows. Indeed, there is an anti-Internet Explorer section on the site. In actuality, it is mostly just a site that takes every chance it gets to trash Microsoft. This site is, supposedly, dedicated to the history of the GUI. I was going through some links and came across a link to something called ToastyTech.
