At first, I thought you meant this a bit differently. In late 1995/early '96, I had some friends who were Windows 3.11 users, quite happy with it, had a huge collection of games and other software for it. No, I didn't understand this happiness either.
They started complaining about feeling forced to move to Windows 95 because the anti-virus software wasn't getting Windows 3.11 updates. but new Windows 3.11-specific viruses kept appearing. In these folks' eyes, malware was giving Windows 3.11 users a massive, unwanted push into buying and using Windows 95, providing Microsoft with job security.
