Where it all began

I love the reference to Windows 95 users......Did that OS really exist? I thought it was a figment of my imagination.

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.

Fast Attack for me

Though I am sure I played some old Atari Sub Game when I was a kid

I never could get SH1 to work so I shelved it

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
