Linux version 0.01 was released by mid September 1991...

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.1x#Windows_3.2
Windows is a line of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on
personal computers. The line began with Windows 3.1, which was released
in March 1992...

So, as you can see, Windows 3.1 was released /after/ Linux.
Of course, Linux wasn't the giant killer we all know and love today but
it /was/ released /before/ Win 3.1.
