[edit] Configuration question
Someone in the know: Did INI files, specifically SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI, exist and matter in the pre 3.x world of Windows? If so, did sysedit.exe exist at that time? Much appreciated, MrZaiustalk 22:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
WIN.INI existed for Windows 2.xx and served all the functions that were split between WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI for Win 3.
SYSEDIT.EXE did not ship with Win 2. I don't know if a version of the Multipad sample program with default loading of system files was offered for free download back then. SYSEDIT was a modified version of multipad. 12.76.139.232 22:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC) krebiz

[edit] Windows 2.x

[edit] Release date

I remember walking into a Computerland in Canada in the Summer of 1987 (July) and seeing Aldus PageMaker running Windows 2.0. So I doubt the date of November 1987 as the release date, unless they were just Beta testing it. --Jimj wpg 04:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Screen shot?
There used to be a screen shot in this article. Where did it go? All the other Windows versions DO have screenshots! --Krawunsel (talk) 19:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
