You call it a "scam" because you need Windows 3 to run software 
written for Windows 3?

Extending that logic implies the sale of all software is a scam
because you must first purchase a computer.

Nobody is forcing you to buy PageMaker 4.0.  It just so happens it
was written to work under Windows 3 (like a shitload of other
software apps).

I also have my doubts whether you've formed on objective opinion 
of Windows since you obviously don't own it.

see ya,
