It鈥檚 just a fad. It鈥檒l pass.
I remember installing windows from a stack of about 30 or more 3,5 inch diskettes. When ms office came out the stack was of similar height. Took about an hour of disk jockeying, and after that another 60 minutes (or more?) of installation.
One was very happy when that ordeal went without troubles 馃槄
Don鈥檛 know who downvoted you but that was absolutely how it was and woe if you had a damaged disk. I remember when it came out on CD how much of a night and day difference it was.
That鈥檚 how it was for Win 95. Windows 3.1 was like 5 720k floppies, one of which was DOS.
Edit: 6 floppies

Meanwhile, I made a custom version of Windows 3.11 that boots from a single floppy disk into RAM.
Link?
TY
Maybe one day MS will patch 1.0 to actually make it release ready. It put me off MS GUIs so hard that I avoided 3.1 until '94 (when I got my first CD drive and it came with a windows only game).
I have a copy of 1.1 somewhere
