MS takes Windows 3.11 out of embed to put to bed
,----[ Quote ]
| First question: which electronics manufacturers embed Windows 3.11 for
| Workgroups in their products? Second question, and much more pressing: why?
|
| We ask merely because Microsoft has told world+dog it’s withdrawing the
| ancient operating system from the embedded market. In November 2008. So this
| gives manufacturers plenty of time to move onto something more modern… like
| Windows 95, maybe.
