China DOS Union

The most valuable operating systems in my opinion:
Windows 1.01 previous beta versions: Windows 1.01 is definitely a collectible, and its beta versions are even more valuable collectibles.

Windows 1.03 Japanese version: The first double-byte character Windows operating system, elder yksoft1 once introduced it, and the commemorative significance is可想而知!

Windows For WorkGroup 3.11 Chinese version: Yulu Banban once had a discussion, saying whether Windows 3.2 is the first Chinese version operating system or Windows 3.2 is the first Chinese version operating system. Now I find that it is the Windows For WorkGroup 3.11 Chinese version, the first Chinese version Windows operating system, and the commemorative significance is可想而知!

Windows Whistler (beta version of Windows XP): No matter how practical the Windows 9x/2000 interface is, it will get tired of looking at. This is the interface transition from Windows 9x/2000 to Windows XP interface, which is worth seeing.

Microsoft Windows Longhorn 4074: Same as Windows Chicago, this is the transition between the Windows XP era and the Vista era, worth seeing!

The Windows 1.03 Japanese version is currently only demonstrable with the installed PC98 version. How to install the X86 one?

Is there an installable version for X86?

The繁体中文版 of Windows 3.0 is very valuable, but this only exists in legend.

The beta version of NT 3.1 is also very valuable, which is the initial beta version of the NT kernel. It would be even more amazing if OS/2 NT could be found.

As for Longhorn, not only version 4074 is meaningful, but other versions of 4xxx and 3xxx are also very valuable, which contain a lot of Microsoft experimental things. For example, there is WinFS and more dazzling effects than Vista/Win7 (but the graphics card requirements are much lower). These Longhorns are all improved based on XP SP1. Later, Microsoft completely pushed them down. After Longhorn 5xxx, it all started over based on 2003 SP1, until the current NT 6.x.

Whistler is not so valuable. The earliest Whistler is not much different from 2000. After WinME was released, Whistler is equivalent to the interface of WinME + the core of 2000, and then further developed into XP. The WinPE based on Whistler has great collection value. This is the initial WinPE beta version. The final WinPE 1.0 is based on XP SP0.

This Windows 1.03 Japanese version is an hdi (virtual hard disk of Vitrualbox). Just load it into Vitrualbox to use it.

The virtual hard disk format of vbox is vdi, not hdi

Use an emulator for PC-98. You can download it from http://www.chinaemu.org/emu/html/37/soft_692.html. In the "MAIN" section, select "DISK", under "HD DRIVE" there is a small red bar and the bar between "EDIT", click on it to bring up a dialog box. Select the HDI file and then click the "Power" icon. The "SAVE" section supports instant saving/loading of game states.

Truly worthy of an enthusiast.

It turns out there was only an XP beta version

I haven't seen many versions

Suddenly I don't want to play this anymore. It's all made by others, and we're just playing around. The most important thing is to see how others write it, that is, the source code. That's the technology, that's meaningful!!! Of course, we can't get these source codes, but there are more excellent unix system source codes for us to learn. I want to do something really meaningful...

The great people in the forum all have profound technologies themselves, and occasionally engage in these things in their spare time. We little guys are just passing-by foot soldiers. Hope great people can share their technologies...
