Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.
Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.
You mean 98se? 3.11 was more than a shell with all the updates. It had a 32bit preemptive subsystem.
95 was 3.11 with a good gui. At release there were better guis for 3.11 than 95’s like Pubtech and Norton Desktop.
Did you know that windows XP had a feature to enable the old progman gui 3.11 had, I used that for a long while till they took it out in an update.
