Microsoft Windows 3.1

Microsoft Windows 3.1 (!)

Windows 3.1 is a series of 16-bit operating systems        
produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers.
 The series began with Windows 3.1, which was
first
 sold during March 1992 as a successor to Windows
3.0. Further editions were released between 1992 and
1994 until the series was superseded by Windows 95.

Windows 3.1 (originally codenamed Janus, of which
two betas were published), released on April 1992,
includes a TrueType font system (and a set of highly
legible fonts already installed), which effectively made
Windows a serious desktop publishing platform for the
first time. Similar functionality was available for Windows
3.0 through the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) font system
from Adobe.



Windows 3.1 was designed to have backward compatibility with older Windows platforms. As with Windows 3.0, version 3.1 had File Manager and Program Manager, but unlike all previous versions, Windows 3.1 and later support 32-bit disk access, cannot run in real mode, and included Minesweeper instead of Reversi (though Reversi was included in some copies).
