What was your first operating system?

PC or mac?

What version?

Mine was Windows 95

My Dad once used Windows 1.01 (the first version)

EDIT: Before Windows 1.01, he used a Commodore PET and a Commodore 64, then After Windows 1.01, he switched back to MS-DOS (various versions), Windows 2.0, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.2, then Windows NT, then 95, 98, 98SE, 2000 Pro, ME, back to 2000 Pro, XP Pro, Vista Ultimate.

My chain:

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 pro, Windows ME, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Pro (again, but still have vista)

Windows 95 for me too. Still using Windows.

me probably 95 parents probably like windows 30 or sumthing thats like that.

Windows 95 was the first OS I've used..although I did get Windows 3.1....

3.1 breifly but only really started with '95

We had 2 computers,
so it was Windows 98/95.
Dunno which we got first
Never used mac. (Only once at school)

MS-DOS 3.3.

I had a pretty hard time getting to know stuff though. Then I switched to MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11, then PC-DOS 7.0 along with Windows 98, then Windows ME and XP.

Wtf? You were born in 1985? MS-Dos 3.3 came out in 1987?! 2 year old computer user ? Omg!

My first OS was Windows 3.11.

I know 2 year olds that use the computer. Its just simple stuff like playing games but still.

My first was windows 3.11 then 95.

I'm pretty sure MS-Dos didn't have games

My brother was playing Runescape at 2, albeit not very well but he still got several levels. And He might of used MS-Dos 3.3 when he was 7 or 8.

seriously did he play by himself or did you like tell him to click on where. ya i cant believe i have a windows 98 in my basement lol i never use it... yeah kids can figure out easy computer games or programs like the teletubies.

I taught him what he needs to do, but he could do it by himself.

The earliest operating system we have here is XP SP2,

Windows 95 for me. Dont remember if we had Windows 3.1 though..

Actually, I got it in 1994 along with my 80286. It's not like I kept (or keep) myself updated...

We had an ancient Acer with Windows 95 on it.
Oh, and my dad's job used to be feed the dot matrix thingys with data into the machine. Can you say "old"?

I'm sure you've heard of Doom? Quake? Duke Nukem? Heck there was TONS of games on DOS, text based games, RPGs, lots of platformers, 3d shooters even game creators!

Mine was some obsolete version of DOS. I used to play Reader Rabbit too. The first computer I really "had" was actually Windows 3.1, booted from DOS. The next computer was Windows 95. After that? Windows 98SE. Following that? Windows ME. After that computer died? Windows XP Home 2002.

Probably WIN95. For macs OS 9.2

Windows 95. Or maybe 98...
For Mac it was probably 9.

I used to have something that was probably older than I was. I think it was a Mac, but I couldn't say what version. I have a Mac from 1995 that originally had Mac OS 5 or 6 on it, but currently has 8.6.

I'll say Mac OS 6, I guess.

My first OS was Windows 95. I still have that computer and we upgraded to Windows 98. Then we bought another computer for Windows 2000. It was bad so we got a computer with Windows XP Home Edition a month after XP came out. Then I got a another computer when Service Pack 1 came out.

windows 95 that was all that existed but now i use mac all the way.

They had Mac Os 7.

Anyways, my first computer was an iMac with Mac Os 8.6.

Edit: 8.6 not 8.1

My first computer was a Windows 3.1 OS. Heh, it's in my basement along with my Windows 95, ME, and 3 other computers varying in age, but all sporting XP Pro or Home.

DOS

As far as I can remember Windows 95

win95 for me, DOS something or other for my dad. we even still have a DOS laptop laying around somewhere. WOOT!

My first OS might have been win95.

I think the eldest one I used was at the public library 1.0

When I was 5 I got windows 95 on this really old computer for free, but I hardly ever used it, Then a few years later I got Windows XP..

-Ming

My one was a Windows 98 , it had just come out when i got it and it cost me £1000 .

Windows 95 here

well refering to my post above i didnt know anything abou mac but now mac is taking over windows.

Mac is far from taking over Windows.

ya i remember that when my dad got a windows 98 and like it was $1600 lol cause then the comps were so expensive and they had like bad parts back then very slow btw like intel pentium 3...

Don't know, I was too small and stupid to know that stuff.

Someone I know, paid $600 on a 4mb graphics card. 4mb is useless now.

Some noobcake DOS version -> some linux versions -> win 95 -> 98 -> xp -> os X

I think it was Windows 95. If i can remember back. Moved up through the versions and now stuck with XP. It runs nice when not being a pain sometimes.

Windows 95, I remember it like it was yesterday XD

I believe I started with W95 as well


I hated that system >:(

3.11 here I used to play Pacman on it when i was 3


My Dad used Really old computers, anyone remember BBC Micros?

I was talking to Matt Mecham, and he used them in school.

For me it was Windows 98.

Here's my total chain:

DOS -> Some Mac -> 95 -> 98 -> XP -> Ubuntu -> XP -> Ubuntu -> Vista -> Ubuntu -> XP -> Vista -> Fedora

lol @ ubuntu

I kept going back to it, realizing I missed Windows features, and going back to XP/Vista, only to realize that I missed Ubuntu's features.

Mac > Windows 95 > Windows XP > Linux > Windows XP > (eventually, Vista) > (eventually vienna)

Probably won't use Vista or Vienna for a very long time..

May as well post my chain.

95 -> 98 -> ME -> XP -> XP and Vista

Macintosh --> win95 --> win98 --> XP + Vista

my chain:

win95->win98->win95->winxp->win98->winxp->win95->win98->winxp->xubuntu/winxp->vista/winxp/ubuntu/xubuntu

wewt.

Not many people used ME.
