Don't include NT in that series; different product line completely. And
it's in version 4; there were _many_ versions of NT before Windows 95.
And there have also been Windows for Workgroups products. No, Windows
3.1.1 was not Windows for Workgroups, but there may have been a similar
product with that version number, since MS made several changes.

I don't remember exactly, but I'd be really surprised if it came out on
time, let alone early.

Well, it's no surprise. Few retailers will sell the previous version of
any product, and few publishers will allow them to do so anyway.
