well I remember playing with Windows 3.11 as a kid. I actually learned to spell my name on a keyboard and i've been using Windows every since. I'm 19 now and still playing with it. We also had 95,98,me,xp,vista...you know, all the goodies.
I'm just eager to try out 7!

i lost the IMA file (the ones on the servers doesnt work) and made no screenshots, so imagine thats MS DOS 1.00:

Same as Namronia, but I've booted it up from a floppy on my physical PC Tried to use edlin, but it was a fruitless attempt Wonder how people could write ASCII documents using this "editor" O_o

I've owned older, but this would probably be the first Windows Edition I bought close to when it came out, WFWG 3.11, when I moved the last time, let's just say that I left boxes on top of boxes of old software behind.

The oldest one I've got is a German version of MS-DOS 5.0.
My dad bought it 1990 if I remember right...

Unfortunately I cannot test the floppies if they are still okay;
I don't have a floppy drive anymore >.<

Oh yes those were the days, a computer booting into DOS practically by the time your finger was off the power button, then just type in Win and get that wonderful Windows 3.1 Interface. I adored that interface so much I was outraged at that newfangled Start Menu thingy when Windows 95 came out.
