What is WinWorld?
Home to one of the largest public repositories of abandonware and pre-release software on the web, as well as a small online community.
About WinWorld
WinWorld was created with one purpose in mind: to share and preserve abandonware and pre-release software that has long since fallen out of common use for the public good. Many of us grew up experimenting with old computers and software, and we wish to continue providing the opportunity to learn and experiment with old software for the next generation of geeks. In addition to aiding young geeks like us, we also aim to help people in less fortunate circumstances, who may not have the resources or means to acquire modern hardware and software.
Without a doubt the most popular feature of WinWorld is our freely accessible software library. Currently our collection is around 200GB, consisting of alpha, beta and abandonware operating systems and applications, as well as other miscellaneous software and documentation which may be of interest.
Our forum community which has existed since 2003, WinBoards, is our second most popular feature. Guests are encouraged to stop by and post, or better yet, register! It's quick and easy. Our members and staff are generally friendly and here to help.
