3.1 was ace. I did everything in DOS.

I didn't realise they still licenced Win3.11 Does this mean its now abandonware? Not really sure how abandonware works (or if it even exists). Does this mean MS still sell licences for win95 up?

In the good old days of my first 486...I always used DOS

Win 3.11 was on there too I suppose...

Abandonware means nothing. Though for all intents and purposes it's ok to download now as Microsoft won't be remotely interested in it even though it breaks copyright law.
