Windows for Workgroups 3.11 dropped in 1993 and was basically Microsoft saying, “Yeah, we can make networking easy for normal people.” It was an upgrade to Windows 3.1 that bundled in built‑in peer‑to‑peer networking, 32‑bit file access, and better support for faster 486 processors. For the first time, you could share files and printers across a small office without extra software, which was a big deal back then. It also added support for TrueType fonts and ran on top of DOS, so you still had to boot into DOS first—classic. If you were around back then, this was the version that quietly made Windows feel like it was moving from a single‑PC setup into something that actually played nice in a networked world.
