    What's the oldest operating system you have currently active on one of your computers?

    Anyone have 98? 95? Me? 3.1???

    What about at work? Some companies may have wanted to continue running something stable for control purposes in a test environment. Anyone using something old at work?







    How about this old guy?




    My first PC

    Nothing old. I trashed my old Windows 3.1/Slackware 2.0 system about 5 years ago. Had been keeping it around because it had old code on it, but then I thought about the fact that that code was more "evidence" than anything, so I drilled out the HDDs and ditched it. I have one old machine left, which I think is Fedora 5, but it hasn't been plugged in in ages, and that's teh oldest I have.

    XP/Fedora 14 on my desktop and whatever Windows I'm using on my laptop from work.

    I've got a Win2K partition that I keep around just for the rare cases when I bump into software I can't get to work under Linux, but it doesn't get booted very often.

    I have one laptop at work with 2k on it. Several still have XP, but I don't think I have any with 98. We just recently started upgrading to 7.

    The oldest I have now is an old TRS 80 with Dos 3.3 on it. I don't use it for anything because there is nothing to use it for. I keep it as an antique. Sort of like many old school people find and keep the occasional Altaire they found at a yard sale.
