Even though it looks kinda horrible, as soon as you get used to it, Windows 2.1 seems surprisingly usable. It's definitely better than just MS-DOS. I just wish I could get it to work with a higher screen resolution. 😟

I remember having used Windows 3.0 and it was pretty terrible. The thing that changed everything for me was the ability of Windows 3.1 to run DOS programs in a window.

I would say the user interface design of modern Windows for me is like looking at a mockup wireframe. Going back a few decades might be an improvement :)
