At the end of the month, Microsoft will no longer sell Windows 3.x licenses.

Wait, seriously? Microsoft was still profitably selling Windows 3.x? Wow. Now I feel strangely vindicated about refusing to upgrade to Windows Vista.

As the author notes though, most of us probably have some very fond memories from Windows 3.x. Windows 3.1 was the very first operating system I ever used, and I have many cherished memories of tinkering around with it, from staring at the splendor of program manager, to getting a cheap thrill out of sound recorder (admit it, you recorded waves and played them backwards and changed the speed too). And let’s not forget that it’s impossible to say too many good things about DOS.

Yep, those were the days.
