- Windows 3.x
Windows 3.x can refer to either an individual or all of the following versions of
Microsoft Windows :
*Windows 3.0
*Windows 3.1x
*Windows 3.2These should not be confused with the first three releases of
Windows NT , which were also given "3.x" version numbers, i.e.*
Windows NT 3.1
*Windows NT 3.5
*Windows NT 3.51 Note: Since the first Windows NT's version was derived from the consumer Windows 3.1, it served as a
double entendre as it was also one number up fromOS/2 2.1 since OS/2 spun off into Windows NT afterMicrosoft 's relationship withIBM split.
