Check out Guru Guy's range of Vintage Retail-Boxed Windows 3.1, 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups software! Windows 3.0 was a major step-change compared to Windows 286/386 (aka Windows 2.0) but it wasn't until Windows 3.1 (which brought thousands of improvements on 3.0) that the OS was clear it would become the dominant consumer Operating System.

Windows 95 was the most successful and popular consumer operating system, selling millions in its first year alone.
Windows 98 built on the success of Windows 95 including USB support, the FAT32 filesystem - a more efficient way to store and utilise large hard drives, and internet explorer integration which led to the most famous US Anti-Trust case in history!

Windows NT 4 Workstation, Server and Enterprise Editions! NT 3 and 4 are great OS's and are the root to Windows 2000 in which NT was eventually brought to consumers in Windows XP.
