Talk:Windows 2.1/Archive 1

new screenshot needed
If anybody can get a screenshot of Windows 2.1x running in a virtual machine much like the Windows 2.0 one, I think it would look much better. You can clearly see the curved glass of the CRT monitor and the refresh lag. The color is also a bit dim. However this may be a challenge as there would be very few people who actually still have a copy of Windows 2.1! Da rulz07 08:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If someone would like to do this, has a copy of an older version of DOS, but does not have a copy of Windows, go to www.vetusware.com and download a copy, and destroy it after use. Douglas C (talk) 08:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

"Windows 2.10 was the first version of Windows to provide the option of installing third-party mice, and also the first to require a hard disk."

Not true - I have a Windows 2.03 setup program that one of the choices of which drive to install on was a hard disk.

 * I don't understand how that makes it not true. It says Windows 2.1 is the first one to require (need) a hard disk. You're saying Windows 2.0 can also use a hard disk. It's not the same thing as needing one. Josh the Nerd 14:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Josh

GA nominations of Windows 2.0x, Windows 2.1x, and Windows 3.1x
I would like to review your three GA nominations of Windows 2.0x, Windows 2.1x, and Windows 3.1x. But first, I am hoping to understand some context on the articles, since 26 previous reviews are mentioned. I posted a message at Talk:Windows 2.0x to ask about where to find these.

Did these 3 articles used to be part of the same article? Thanks, Caleb Stanford (talk) 18:11, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

GA Review
Hello, I am Vifvuv, who is reviewing this article.

The article has good information, but is lacking in pictures. I can't download this or anything as I have a M1 Macbook, but if someone could get pictures I think the article would be better. Article meets all other criteria. Vifvuv (talk) 14:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: editor will not be reviewing nomination after all; the nomination has been put back into the pool of those nominations awaiting review with no loss of seniority. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
