from youtube: “One night i had this idea to install dos 6.22+windows 3.11. I’ve put some patches to windows 3.11, make 32bit tcp/ip working, install some new drivers for network, video card etc. and… it works. 16 bit windows 3.11 system can really work in 32/64 bits world. Check this video and say: we don’t need vista ;-)”
I haven’t used Windows 3.11 in such a long time. When I see a video of people still using such old software in today’s environment it really shows the longevity of well put together software. This should be something that developers should really focus on, not the fact people will use your software in the short term, but also, people using your software in the long term. By creating software that is stable, efficient, and adaptable; future systems should be able to maintain the functionality of the software and allow for a usable environment.
