Windows 3.x was the first truly popular release of Windows. The 3.0 release was the first popular release of Windows and was bundled on a wide range of computers unlike OS/2, which was mainly on IBM hardware. The Multimedia Extensions 1.0 were released for Windows 3.00a on October 1991 (along with the Comdex 1991 beta of NT) and was an OEM only release (mainly CD-ROM and sound card manufacturers), comprising of a sound card (Sound Blaster for instance), a CD-ROM drive (initially SCSI only) and basic multimedia support for audio input and output and a CD player. The Multimedia Extensions were not available in Real Mode. Windows 3.1 (and later 3.11) incorporated many of the multimedia features of 3.00a.
