I've been seeing a lot of stuff about Windows 3.11 lately, did they release it free recently? Like they did early versions of MSDOS? https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS

People uploads a lot of old Microsoft OSes and software on Internet Archive [1], but curiously, no one uploaded Windows 3.11 installer yet (plenty of Windows 3.1 though). I wonder why. Legal reason?

The author mentioned in a reply that they got their copy with a VS subscription.
If anyone else is curious what else you can get, Microsoft publishes this Excel list: https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/5/4/15454442-CF17-...
Yes, and until about a year back Windows 95 and 98 were available also but they have been taken offline. If I recall it correctly it is due to some copyright issue.
Didn't Windows 95 and Windows 98 include Java by default? Probably yet another side-effect of the Oracle-Google thing.
