Raymond Chen has got you covered. These three are my favorite technical articles on Windows 3.1:
- If Windows 3.11 required a 32-bit processor, why was it called a 16-bit operating system? [0]
- What did Windows 3.1 do when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del? [1]
- How did Windows 3.1’s virtual machine manager get the information to show in the text-mode Alt+Tab switcher? [2]

I keep coming back for those three articles.
- phibz 3y agoYou keep coming back to them? Really? Why? They're interesting articles but they just scratch the surface and I don't see how further readings would change that.
- Hackbraten 3y agoFor me, re-reading triggers a trip down Memory Lane. I have fond memories of the 90s so I just love to revisit to feed my nostalgia. Plus, I really enjoy Raymond Chen’s writing style. Lastly, I want to remember the technical details, and re-reading helps with that.
