[Gene C]

I have used windows since ver 1.03,
dos since 3.0
nt's since ntws 4.0,server 4.0 "never used or loaded"
2k adv. server "never used or loaded!!
have linux, but, never took the time to load or learn it!!

now I run a dual book 2k & 98se

[Mntsnow]

In the house currently

Win98se
WinMe
Win2K pro
Win2k Advanced Server
WinXP


Have dual booted my Win9se box with Mandrake 8 but wiped linux and loaded the XP up ...Need to break backdown and build a dedicated Linux box..Then I would have to learn it instead of booting into what I already somewhat know ;)

[Jig-Miester]

I have win 3.1 to win2k pro. I guess I didn't get windows me

[SalaTar]

used me for 10 min...that count?
:D

For all my systems at home, I'm running Windows 2000 Professional Edition... Win2k/NT is definetly the best OS from Microsoft in my opnion. I can't stand MS OS's that use Win9x kernel!

[hirschY]

I ran ME for about 4 months, as my server at home a while back.
Acctually, I never had a problem with it, other than no sound on my cheap PC chips board.

BUT, I blew it away and ran Win2K pro for like 8 months.
ME had to be rebooted once a month, but win2K, I think I rebooted once.

Just changed up PC's around the house, so I have to get win2KAS loaded:eek:

Not sure if I really need that, but I want to play:rolleyes:

I also need to start getting ready for my MCSE tests.


Oh, yeah, the topic
I have used PC's going all the way back to the Atari 2600 (I think that was it)
Still cant program anything, but I like to play games:D

[Gene C]

I can't comment on the ME version. I haven't even saw a pic of it or much less saw it loaded on a system. heard some4 bad things about it!!

as for the xp. if they didn't have uncle bill babysiting you on your number oof system installs. I would like to try it. I have done a lot of reading and love the new features it has to offer !!

[Hickman]

I've been running Win ME for over a year. The only thing is that I am not happy that MS is not putting out service packs for it like they did Win 2k and 98. If MS supported this os with updates like a second edition in the case of Win 98, I'd keep right on using it for years. This os isn't as bad as some people say.

[edwelly]

I am running Windows98, Win2000 Professional and Adv. Server, NT and Xp (after this weekend).
At some point I am going to attemp Linux...
Nice avatar hirschY

[RampageIII]

Like most others I've collected a few. I've pretty well settled for Win98SE. At least til I upgrade my equipment. :D

[maface]

Main PC has WinME,Win2000 Adv Server, XP preview. Mostly use ME(I know should use 2000 more). Have a PC with Solaris7(haven't done much with). At one time or another have had Netware 4.1 installed and Redhat Linux. Someday plan on installing on a server Netware5, RH Linux7 and Solaris8

[otheos]

Win2K is indeed the best MS OS to day!

Wife's system runs it and looks good to me, I have unix-ize it a bit so that I can work on it as well :)

I grew up with unix so I still use the darn thing. RH7.1 on my two home systems + the server. I dual boot to FreeBSD trying to make the switch from linux someday as it's sweet but I have to take time to recompile all my software :(

I have used all versions of Windows since 3.1 Really the 9x kernel was embarassingly unstable, and Me made things worse (personally I didn't like the fact that it wouldn't let me copy from my Digital camera but not to and this digital controll is what makes me reluctant with XP).

[flinder]

My Kapro came with Dos 3
Dos 4
Dos 5
Dos 6
Win 3
Win95
Win95B
Win98
Win2000
Now using WinXP
XP $10.00 download try me version.
Plan to buy the full version of WinXP Pro.
Gotta have some fun in life. LOL
My best liked OS is Win2000.

[linux_guru]

I have all version of windoze from 3.1 to Win2K, and about 10 different Linux distros.

I run Mandrake 8.1 (95% of the time) / Win2K (5% of the time).
My wife's system runs Win2K.

[Sundog]

I have used (and still have copies) of everything from DOS 5 and Windows 3.1 to XP.

Just scrubbed everything and loaded up XP on my SCSI based system last night. I must say that my boot-up time has dropped a lot. :)

I've used Windows from 3.11-Win2k/Me

Currently, I'm using WinMe...I'm not content.:o
I've also used the following versions of Linux: Linux Mandrake 8, Red Hat Linux 7.x, and WinLinux 2000 (boots up in Windows).

My main box is dual-booted w/Linux Mandrake 8.0 and WinMe.
I'm now debating on whether or not I should change OS to Win2k, or WinXP. Any suggestions that anyone has, please post 'em.
