No such individual product; this was part of Windows 95.

No such individual product; this was part of Windows 98.

In addition, I believe MS-DOS 6.21 was offered as an interium update to
address the Stacker lawsuit. That is, only 6.22 was offered for retail
sales. The only way to run 6.21 was to update an existing copy of 6.2.

Looks like you need just about everything...

In the early days, you should be looking for PC-DOS, not MS-DOS.

Anyway, there was no MS-DOS 1.25 or 2.11, but there was a MS-DOS 1.1.
The "Microsoft Windows" listing for 1983 was when Bill Gates originally
announced the development of the product. Same goes for your Windows 386
listing. There was also a Windows 3.0 (probably your Windows 286
listing) and a Windows NT.

And how could you forget Microsoft Bob? Though I'm sure Microsoft would
prefer that everyone forgot about it!
