Windows 11 won't install those 25 year old programs anymore. Wine will.

Windows sucks, but I made some tools 20 yrs ago and they still just run in win11. As they did on all other windows before since...I dunno, 95? Or 3.11?

But anyhow: Windows sucks.

you're right, but Windows 7 had a space in our hearts, after that it's all a load of garbage

3.11, 98, 8.1 and 10 were okay too. I was there....3000 years ago.

I'm still on Windows 3.11 because I demand an edition for Workgroups and nothing else has it in the name!

Fair point. And it REALLY would be time for a new one to support those. Screw domains!
