I have spent a week writing a massive article about Windows 2. It has sexy screenshots and is full of incredible trivia. Why not spend the New Year's Eve reading it? ;)

Regarding the article above...

* 96 illustrations, from screenshots of Windows 2 you never have seen, to rare historic images of vintage systems,
* A recap of early graphical interfaces for personal computers,
* In-depth investigation of the reasons why Windows 2 should have been the final Windows version,
* An explanation of differences between Windows/286 2.1, Windows/386 2.1 and Windows Standard Mode, and the major reasons for their respective design,
* Links to some awesome memoirs of people directly involved with Windows 2 development,
* About 10,000 words (~30 to 60 minutes of reading)

p.s. last minute #dosember entry

A screenshot of Windows 2 running a graphics editor PC Paintbrush. There is a colourful image open in it - a promotional poster of an anime called Dan Da Dan. The poster shows a close-up of a girl's face
