I'm looking for OEM Windows boot screens, especially from Windows 1.X-3.X. I've already seen some (e.g. 3.1 IBM), but I'd like to see more.

I might put Windows 2.11 386 PC98 someday.

Another interesting thing is that OEMs didn't customize the boot screens of versions 2.X, only 1.X and 3.X...

but I think, Windows 2.03 HP Vectra's boot screen was customized, if we only had the complete set of it.

I think you saw this one.

I ever saw Windows (something, possibly 1.x or 2.x) bootscreen that has the Tulip logo in the middle. I forget the website where I see it, because it has been years after I see the bootscreen.

Does the Gateway 2000 version of Microsoft Bob interests you?

Tulip as in Tulip System ? Do you happen to remember on which models it ran ?

Yes, I've seen that one.

In fact, I saw most of them now, as TC1988's site has a lot of nice screenshots...

Too bad they don't offer downloads, lots of nice stuff there that should be archived

Well, that 1.03 Tulip OEM sure sounds nice

. Though I may be able to provide you 1.03 from Tandon...

TheCollector1988 · **Post subject:** Re: OEM boot screens **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:45 pm

We have 1.03 Tulip, it's mislabeled as Windows 1.03 French.

DeFacto · **Post subject:** Re: OEM boot screens **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:49 pm

Oh, thanks for letting us know.

because, in the hardware installation, it says there's support for Tulip mice and, in the bootscreen, it says "TC-Version 1.03". TC stands for Tulip Computers.

Some famous alternatives, such as the DEAD_WIN (on the hobbes site, under \windows, Windows NT (3.1), and windows / windows for workgroups / pen / warehouses 3.0 3.1 are in this collection.

Well, here's bootscreen from what seems to be an alternate release of Widows with Multimedia Extensions 1.0 (the boot screen is opened in some image editor, EMEdit or something like that...):
