Software Spotlight: 30 Years of Windows 95 With less than two weeks before the 30th anniversary of the first retail release of Windows 95, it's the perfect time to read our look back and review of what it brought to the table, courtesy of SomeGuy. forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/159…
Hey everyone, I've been made aware of the current slowdowns and issues with the website, it appears we're being hit with surge in bot traffic. Currently working to resolve. Thank you for your patience as always.
From everyone at WinWorld, wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! For a retro geek stocking stuffer, read on about Jingle Disk: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/157…
Hey everyone, we're still here! Our server provider is currently doing emergency maintenance and we hope to be back online shortly. Apologies for any inconvenience.

From everyone at WinWorld, wishing everyone a Happy New Year. We celebrated our 20th anniversary this year and look forward to the many more to come. Thanks for flying WinWorld all these years, cheers to 2024!
20 years. It's been over 20 years since I created the first iteration of WinWorld, poorly made with Print Shop and hosted on Bravenet complete with a guestbook and hit counter. How far we have come. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. Here's to another 20.
@VincenzoSparami I'm admittedly not always on top of Twitter, but if you're looking to read more well-written, in-depth dives into obscure, unique software, check out the Software Spotlight section of our forums, written by our resident library curator SomeGuy. forum.winworldpc.com/categories/sof…
Software Spotlight: T/Maker T/Maker is an integrated word processor, spreadsheet, and database. It is historically significant as it was among the first "integrated" office program for personal computers. Read more: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/143…
@DrScriptt I had a copy of Eight in One on 5.25" floppies years and years ago. Don't think I ever used it though and sadly it's not in our archive.
@coldgooseberry The hashes shown on the site are SHA-256, hence the mismatch. As for the detection, I just ran it through several AV tools and wasn't able to detect anything, and I've used that copy myself on a few occasions without any issues, so I believe it's a false positive.
Hey everyone, server and site are back online as of 11am ET. Outage was caused by a network driver glitch following a server update, due to me not automating the fix last time. Thanks to everyone who reported it.
Thank you to everyone who reported the server outage. I recently upgraded the server to PVE7, and that revealed a couple issues relating to Intel network drivers. The issue is now resolved (tx/rx offload disabled) however please report any further outages or issues. Cheers.
Software Spotlight: LANLink LANLink is a low cost networking program that is optimized for, and exclusively uses, common serial and parallel port connections. Read more: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/131…
Software Spotlight: QNX 1.2 QNX is a small and fast Unix-like real time operating system that was originally designed specifically for the IBM PC. QNX 1.2 was released in 1983. Read more: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/130…
A slightly late happy birthday to WinWorld, hard to believe it's been 18 years. It's been a wild ride so far, let's see what the future holds. Thank you to all our members and staff who continue to make WinWorld the great resource and community that it is.
Update: TLS is now enabled on the library mirrors, so Chrome should now work properly without any workarounds.
Software Spotlight: Wired For Sound Wired for Sound is a hilariously obnoxious program who's entire purpose is to do /something/ with brand new "multimedia" PCs or sound cards. Read more: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/126…
As our community grows, it's creating new things. We now have a Minecraft server, with more game servers and community events in the works. Join our Discord to stay in the loop if you're interested! discord.gg/HepVSYH
Software Spotlight: Ability The buzzword of the mid-1980s was "office integration". Ability was a DOS based office suite that delivered on this promise. Read more: forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/125…
