This knowledge* must not die with me:
One of the Windows 3.x setup.exe files contains [EDIT: a reference to] Wassily Kandinsky and the Bauhaus movement.
*[EDIT: Many thanks to @nina_kali_nina for confirming!]

Great.
This reminded me of "Killer Crayon", anyone else?
Yes, I'm showing my age again.

Currently in the progress of creating my own bootleg version of Windows 3.1. Its gonna be based off Windows 97.
It even has the windows 9x style mini windows 3.1 installer, but this time it uses InnoSetup.

Small #retrocomputing bugbear/nitpick/PSA:
#Windows 3.11 was not otherwise known as "Windows for workgroups". The product was named "Windows for workgroups 3.11", the reason being that there's also a regular ass Windows 3.11!
There's also Windows for workgroups 3.1! It was just super buggy, especially for networking which was a bit of an issue. So there were free upgrades to 3.11
Also, you could buy an upgrade for 3.1 to "for workgroups".

All information I could find online suggests that running Wabi on #solaris 8 should be impossible.
The Oracle docs suggest that, there are newsgroup posts about people saying it doesn't work, or that complex workarounds are required.
But it all... just seems to work? Very odd!

If you have OCD, dont look at the Windows 3.1 Arrow cursor.

You'd be surprised how aggressively these old educational games are protected by their rights holders. I had to buy a physical copy. Weird for something that came out in 1995. Surely they aren't still making money on this Windows 3.1 game, right?

Installing Windows 3.1 in 2025 on my 486. It was not without challenges ^^ Debugging skills were critical.
The video is timestamped for convenience if you want to skip specifically to the Windows bits.

Awesome! Got everything working correctly under Windows 3.1. Turns out the S3 driver set I got was the correct one after all and I got glorious 1024x768 with 32k colors mode working! 🎉
It actually ran way smoother than I expected especially compared to the generic SVGA driver, though I eventually had to drop back down to 640x480 @ 256 colors for Myst.
After some trial and error I was able to get AWE64 sound working also, though I had to fool S64basic.exe installer that I already had a controller manager installed. Blasted canyon.mid with the creative soft synth before I tried installing Roland MPU-401 support - which my PCMidi card to my surprise was completely happy to be driven by, so I followed it up with the SC-55 MkII ^^
I find it exceedingly cool how the Win 3.1 midi mapper allows you to divide midi channels between different midi devices if you so desire. So you could have drums from one and the rest from another for example.
To top it all off we installed Quicktime 2.03 😂 and did our first foray into Myst, the goal of the whole exercise to explore its various mysteries 💕 Will be returning to it a little later!
