Okay, I came across a copy of old Windows/386 (Windows 2.1)

Just for the heck of it, i installed it onto my old pentium... now... besides going into DOS and typing "deltree c:\win386", what can I do with it?

Windows/386 is just a simple GUI for DOS. You can do some very basic things with it. Not very useful though.

I have better:

It's called "Run-Time Windows", essentially Win 2.1/286 designed to run only a single proprietary Windows application (in this case, Massteck PCB Router).

Totally worthless...

Or you could take that nice little floppy disk, and place it in the back of a cupboard where it belongs. Windows 2.1 is ancient! Why anyone would still be using it is a mystery to me!
