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.

so to be clear I did not say there was no such version. I correctly stated that I did not recall such a version. I thought that was the case, but since this is so utterly trivial did not go and check.

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.

all versions of windows ran like that at least as far as Me.


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

and?

Your stone is over that way

You sure do get excited about remembering a trivial fact once in a blue moon.
