I have used windows 3.11 when I was 6 (2000). We had the computer forever, we threw it away when I was 7 (which was in 2001) and got a new windows 2000 computer.

Lots of folks are fans of command prompt or CLI (Command Line Interface).  It's the reason I stayed with regular DOS on my home computer until I finally gave in to Windows 95.  I felt like I had more control, and as I half-jokingly told people, if something goes wrong with the computer, I pretty much know it was my fault.

Windows does offer some plausible deniability, though...   ;)

I began in 1982 with a Kaypro II using a CPM operating system.  Ten years later going to a PC with Windows 3.1 was quite a leap.  I didn't really appreciate Windows until 95 when several of the early headaches had been corrected.

Before having Windows XP, my dad had Windows 98 on his computer until 2003 and I didn't really use a computer much. I got my first computer in 2004-2005 it was a used desktop computer that ran Windows ME and I had that for about a year then I got my first laptop (Dell Inspirion 2200) ever since then, I have been using Windows XP.

In 1996 we were using in our office Win95. we used that for years but things changed and all of the jargons the people are talking is about computer world with windows 2000 etc. until we tried windows XP but the computer didn't hold enough memory for that O/s so we changed to more higher in specs. Now we stuck with windows XP SP2 because when we tried to reformat to Vista, seemed problems will come. So we're back to XP2. Haven't used Linux or any other O/S to compare with this Microsoft Windows.

The first Windows that I ran was Windows 1.01.
The first computer that I worked on was an old AT, I don't remember what the architecture was, but the floppy was about nine inches across and might have held 18k.

I'm really feeling my age now  :)

Windows 3.1 on an AST Advantage PC (I still wonder whatever happened to that company)...

480 MB hard drive
4 MB RAM
14.4 modem
486 DX-2 50 MHz.

This was around 1994...

Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.
