# QPAC II – Optimal Configuration

In today’s world, QPAC II is the QL’s “de facto” version of Windows 3, and has been since QRAM, (QPAC’s predecessor) first appeared.

QPAC II’s history has been a little like Windows 1 and 2, for PC’s and compatibles. First of all, a revolutionary program was released, and a few people started using it on a daily basis. Slowly it gained acceptance among expert users. Programmers started writing according to the new rules/concepts, and finally, a new version with all the bells and whistles was launched. In the twinkle of and eye, it became widely accepted, even by beginners.
