Notable operating systems in this family include [[Windows 3.0]] and [[Windows 3.1]]. This Windows could run in either Standard or 386 Enhanced memory modes. Both of the modes used a [[Graphical User Interface]] (or picture-based), and supported a mouse, but 386 Enhanced Mode was faster and was better at [[multitasking]] (or doing many things at once). Windows NT 3.x was released in 1993-1996. It also had many features from versions of Windows before it. These included a calculator, a notepad, and more. It also brought in many new features, like the Program Manager (which is still in Windows XP today - Start>Run>progman.exe), and the icons and programs looked better. Windows 3.x was made better in 1992, with Windows for Workgroups 3.1x (1992-1993), that added networking support. {{Microsoft Windows operating systems}} {{start box}} {{succession box | title=Windows Versions | before=[[Windows 2.x]] | after=[[Windows 9x]] |years= 1989-2000}} {{end box}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Microsoft operating systems]]
