What's the oldest operating system you currently use? (laptop, Linux, games)

[Charles]

Anybody still using ME? 98? 95? 3.1?

Side question, just for fun, is there some sort of theme or overlay or packaging a person could use to make Win 7 or XP look like 3.1?

Solaris 8 is the oldest I have installed on a computer that I use regularly.

I have DOS 3.1, Windows 3.11 and Windows 98 on computers that I never really boot up.

I have Windows XP on my file server (in the process of phasing this out).

I still have a system in the garage with CP/M booting off of a hard sectored 5.25 floppy...

Have another with Solaris x86 2.5.1. (Solaris was a sweet OS)

I own 4 PCs, including the wife's. The oldest is an ultraportable laptop still running XP because that's all its really capable of. Two others run Win7. The last is a workbench machine that triple boots XP/Win7/Server08. I still have copies of everything going back to DOS so I could always load one of them into a VM if needed.

Mac System 7.5

Windows 95.

I guess I'm one of the 1/2 of one percent still on windows 98 first edition.

I still have a working Apple //e if that counts with LQP Daisey wheel and double Floppy

[TurcoLoco]

Still in use (though rarely) Win98SE. I also have DOS6, WinNT, Win2K and eLinux2000 on a multi-boot drive but hell if I can locate the drive! I have Win 3.11 and up as well as various Linux Distros but they are not in use so I guess they don't count? So Win98se tweaked to ying-yang running on a 6-7yo hardware with 2x 512 SDRAM . It runs super sweet and stable but

I am keeping it bit just for nostalgic reasons but for old school games that won't run on newer DirectX versions.

Sweet! I still wish I had access to 9.2 sometimes, and if I still had my old MDD G4 that I got rid of about three months ago, I would.

I am sure you can find this somewhere.

That 3.1 look would also include the VGA resolutions to look real.
