No, I haven't. I have zero nostalgia for Windows 3.x and no desire to ever run it again.

I did write about ArcaOS 5.1 recently:

That runs WinOS2 and that was interesting, but it's inside a grown-up OS. That's different.

This isn't from the mid-1990s. It's from the early '90s and that was a time of huge rapid change. Mid to late '90s stuff is fun. Early '90s stuff is painful.

Windows 3.0 and 3.1 can multitask DOS stuff quite well in their own right; it's Win16 binaries that they can only cooperatively multitask.
