Jump to PostYou mean BOB? I think thats illegal. I am sure microsoft still has a copyright even on old BOB.
Jump to PostNo, its not legal to download it.
Abandonware != freeware
Its still copyrighted software.
And tiger86, windows 1 is not the same as MS Bob, bob came out in like 95, whereas windows 1 and 2 came out in the period 85-90

They are still copyrighted. Copyright lasts a minimum of 50-70 years after death of the holder, and microsoft is still going.

You might be able to buy a copy of Win1.0
I saw Win98se available for $55 :) (Very good price)
I would rather buy a copy myself! (I love 98se so much)

I have seen that commercial... isn't it great
When i was looking around my house a few months ago i found a copy of windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, plus i have XP and vista so i have all of there (or not so) resent OS. So i wanted all of them that is why i wanted windows 1.0 and all the rest.
The weird thing is i never had windows me or 2000 and i never talenteded them...

This could be possible, but they're certainly not from one package :)
Windows 95 has existed in Floppy Disk version AND in CD version (though, the CD version offered some extra features) ...
