Orion OS 1.1.4

Orion OS 1.1.4 is one of the first releases of Aurora's Orion OS. Released back in 1991 in Europe for enterprise applications.
The OS had some advanced features for the time, like 64 colors for rendering pictures, support for background images and a better window management than Windows 2.1. Unfortunately the OS didn't had a lot of advanced configurations which enterprise customers were looking for.
