Windows 3.1
<operating system> A version of Microsoft Windows with many improvements
over Windows 3.0, including True Type Fonts, Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
and Mouse Trails for use with LCD Devices. It also saw the loss of Real Mode,
which meant it would no longer run on Intel 8086 processors (did anyone ever do
this anyway?).
Sometimes described as "stand-alone Windows", in contrast to Windows for
Workgroups 3.1. Windows 3.11 is a free bug-fix update. 3.1's successors are
Windows 95 and Windows NT.
