I've made another Virtual PC! And It's the Classic Version of Windows! (Windows 3.11)
It was long before the start menu was introduced in Windows 95.
I'm Running it now on my Windows 7 PC using my Windows Virtual PC Software from Microsoft.
Here is the link to the demo video: http://www.viewletcentral.com/vc/viewlet/387121128/

P.S. I made the video using ViewletBuilder7!

It's a Virtual PC I made which is Windows 3.11 and I made a video of it to show you the applications. I'm not going to upload it right now for security reasons. Uploading Virtual PCs and putting them on the Scratch Forums is not legal! But anyways, you can check out the video I made about the Virtual PC I did.

I run windows 1.0, windows 95 plus, windows 95, XP Vista and os warp on virtual PC too! smile

jvvg · 2012-07-03 00:18:53

I ran everything Daniel did except for OS/2 Warp and Vista (although I did run Windows 7 beta).

Wow, that's cool! And old.

I am running MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 in VirtualBox but I can't get IE to install.

veggieman001 · 2012-07-03 01:19:30

I've gotten in working in VirtualBox, which I find to be a superior virtualisation software.

I've considered it but haven't done it.

Yeah, me too. When I said I ran the above systems, I meant I used VBox.

Not surprising... Internet didn't really exist in the days of MS-DOS.

The virtual HDD file I downloaded had a really ancient IE installer on it.

Why would you want to run something so old and outdated? Nothing would be compatible with it.

Historical reasons, and it's just cool

It can be entertaining seeing what old versions of Windows look like. smile

It's more fun if you get to try them hands-on, though.

I once played minesweeper on a windows computer that was made before internet. They had touchscreen back then also. I'm not sure what number windows it ran, but it was pretty old (80's I think).

stevetheipad · 2012-07-03 19:07:05

Back in the day of an OS without a trash, that was patented by Apple. tongue

jji7skyline · 2012-07-03 19:19:48

Yes, it came with the Lisa.

nathanprocks · 2012-07-03 21:25:11

If anyone here has an R4 cart for Nintendo DS, you should try DSx86... It lets you run MS-DOS programs on your DS. Some programs I have successfully run on it are:
- Commander Keen (With custom button configuration)
- Mario
- Visual Basic for DOS
- QBasic
- QuickBASIC

That is not all, but if you search on Google, you will find downloads for all of those and many other MS-DOS games!
