Another operating system bites the dust, leaving the thousands of hours of time you spent playing Minesweeper just a memory. After ending the sale of Windows XP to consumers last month Microsoft is completely killing off another operating system, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (WFW).
WFW has been unavailable to consumers for many years but certain software is licensed for use in embedded devices for much longer. Now, according to a Microsoft employee, it will be discontinued from November 1st.
“For those that were not aware, we recently announced that effective November 1st, 2008, OEM's will no longer be able to license Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in the embedded channel,” said John Coyne, who is with Microsoft’s OEM Embedded devices group, in his blog.
