Windows 2.0x

  • 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
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
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)
