Comment Re:Windows 1.0 was barely usable (Score 1) 384

8086 with VGA were rare, but they did exist. In the late '80s, when 386's were common, I got a (cheap) Okidata 8086 with onboard Paradise VGA and 1MB RAM. It ran Windows 3.0 in real mode with 256 colours at 640x480, barely. For those who only had black&white on VGA's, all I can suggest is that you didn't actually have the VGA driver installed. Windows Setup was a DOS-based program back then - outside of Windows 3.0, run c:\windows\setup.exe, and change the video adapter to VGA.
