Where it all began

I still use win95 on one of my older machines.
It's not bad apart from the limited resolution.
All it does now is host a few networked drives, but it does it well.

Wow. Very cool. My introduction to Windows was Windows 98 which was less than impressive. I liked 2000 and I really like XP. I'm staying away from Vista, and I'll be purchasing a Laptop with 7 as the OS at the end of the year.

My real intro was 98. Love 98 and did not mess with 2000 or ME. I was leary of XP and held on to 98 until the day MS said there was no more support. Bummer. Run Vista now. I like Vista a lot. The game that started it all for me was Janes WWII flight sim.

My first Windows computer had Windows 3.11, followed by Windows 95, then Windows 98 SE, then XP

Now I use Vista 64, which I don't much like and will replace with Windows 7 as soon as it's out and stable, probably
