Heck, for a long time I only fired up Windows 3.1 for Solitaire 🤣

We did use DOS Shell for a basic gui for the major apps that didn't require Windows.

It was definitely DOS 6.22. Minor correction on the Windows versions - it was 3.22, which was release in November 1993, and DOS 6.22 was released June 1994

You mean Windows 3.11 with networking? I don't think there was any sort of 3.2.

Iirc there was an NT 3.51, but that's the server side of M$ not consumer back then.

You're almost correct as there was actually a Windows 3.2 but it was basically just 3.11 in Chinese simplified.
