It doesn't look like he used 1.0 in the video. Did I miss something?


Are you sure? What's that at the 1:30 mark?

Serious question, I thought it was IE 1, but now I feel like I missed something.

Edit: I'm sure he does, he explicitly mentions various performance issues with IE 1.0 several times, starting with a screenshot at about 1:30


My memory is that IE v1 was never widely released to the public.

The only place I ever saw it was on a MS documentation CD, and then only because a coworker was pointing at it and laughing about how terrible it was.

I notice it's up on oldversion.com though. I suspect he skipped it because setting up a IP-enabled Windows 3.11 system was more trouble than it would be worth.


1.0 came built into windows 3.01.
