Favourite OS Windows Developer Preview - 8102
I think my oldest OS I used was Windows 98, on my Nan's computer I can always remember that boot sound. Also my old desktop, I can't remember what OS it was but I'm sure it was one of the Pre-XP ones.

I used a Tandy 100 for research and I had a Timex Sinclair, but I am not sure that the Tandy used a MS OS. My Tandy 1000 ran under DOS 3. My oldest computer was a kit I got for Christmas when I was an undergraduate, in 1967 I think. It worked by plugging bits of wire into slots.

Favourite OS Neptune 5111, Whistler 2430
Amstrad 6128+ with Locomotive BASIC OS. I think it was £399 when first released in 1985 but I got it in 1992 or 1993. learned a lot of coding using BASIC. Then it was Win 95 on a huge block of a Packard Bell desktop PC that had a Pentium MMX 9the tower was large). I liked the Packard bell wallpapers it came with (packard bell face)
