Windows 3.0 Anniversary - but you can't beat the Windows 386 (2.1) video

Nice Reg article about the 20th anniversary of the launch of Windows 3.0 and it's impact on computing and the industry (and notes the importance of Solitaire!).

Us Unix Workstation people sneared at the time of course - and (as linux users) still do ;-)

Any Windows anniversary is an excuse to watch this stunning promo-video for an earlier 386/2.1 version. If you've never seen this you MUST watch (if you don't have time for it all - jump to around 7 mins) . What were they thinking!?
