I suppose you thought that by now that would all be forgotten; and it was safe

With respect windows in any form was not a workable option on an 8086 or 286.


With respect nothing. This is what you actually posted

odd, I don't recall a windows 286 edition.


Nor do I remember any functional version of win that was any use on a 286 PC.


As it says on the box Microsoft sold it not as an OS but as a presentation
manager sitting on top of DOS, competing with programs like Desqview.

Therefore with all due respect, whether or not it was a pile of crap as you suggest,
as you are undoubtedly aware, is contingent upon the fact, that it must have existed
in then first place.

As is shown in the picture.

QED

Your stone is over that way
