If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.

It says "Win 3.x" had NetBIOS support in "November 1993". Windows 3.1 came out in March 1992 (a month before OS/2 2.0). It didn't have NetBIOS support built-in. Windows for Workgroups 3.1 was the version of Win3 that had NetBIOS support, IIRC. It came out [link\|http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q126746\|in October 1992]. 3.11 added additional features and came out in November 1993. But "Windows 3.x" never had IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, SMB/CIFS networking features in the standard Windows package from Microsoft, unless I'm mistaken. Otherwise, Trumpet Winsock, Crynwar packet drivers and the like wouldn't have had a market. I'm sure there are similar distortions in the rest of the paper. Cheers, Scott.

There was a Windows for Workgroups 3.1, but it wasn't promoted much because very soon afterwards there was a Windows for Workgroups 3.11. There was also a Windows 3.11 which just had the networking removed. Neither of the two "... for Workgroups" versions had native TCP/IP. Wade.
