A Polish developer going by the handle of Marcin-PRV has done what can only be termed as useless, if not for a tiny dose of nostalgic introspection when Windows 3.1 brought us the graphic interface that we are so accustomed to today. Using DOSBox, a freeware DOS emulator, he was able to port over the operating system from the days of yore by Microsoft and work on it too. Not much utility there except for the “It can be done” factor, I guess.
