Episode Guide

Mum tries out Windows 3.11 (1993) is the fourth episode of Season 1 in the OSFirstTimer series.

Description[edit | edit source]

She said Windows 8 was the worst OS ever! She changed her mind after using Windows 1.0 (1985) to thinking all newer versions of windows were better than windows 8... Well, I decided to put her theory to the test once again and get her to try out Windows 3.11 released in 1993.

One thing she learned the hard way.... DON'T OPEN QBASIC EVER! IT'S A RECURRING NIGHTMARE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAUNT YOU AND STRICK AGAIN JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE!!!

OS Info[edit | edit source]

Diana's Review[edit | edit source]

  • She says Windows 3.11 looks better than Windows 1.0.
  • She didn't have a good experience using it, especially after she kept opening Microsoft QBasic accidentally. In both times she opened it, Diana (and Phil) didn't know how to quit the program and struggled to use the program in general, making her have a bad first impression of the desktop environment overall.
