Improved to Good Article status by Vacant0 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:52, 16 September 2022 (UTC).

Just noting that ALT0 is suggested by me. Thank you for the nomination :) 0xDeadbeef 16:50, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 can run on a single floppy disk! Albeit a modified version of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on an uncommon 2.88 MB disk and very, very slowly. :) DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:35, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Great hooks (I think either could work, and don't have much of a preference between them), and everything that needs to be checked checks out. One suggestion I'd make is to specify in the article what is meant by the "x" at the end of the page title, as this is not made clear. But overall, good to go! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

The "x" indicates that there are multiple versions of Windows 2.0. That can be seen in the article (Windows 2.01 and Windows 2.03). This also goes for Windows 1.0x, Windows 2.1x, and Windows 3.1x, while Windows 3.0 does not have an "x" because one version of it exists. Vacant0 (talk) 10:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

I have a preference for ALT0, so I'd choose that one to appear instead of ALT1. Vacant0 (talk) 10:34, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
