What’s the oldest OS you’ve used?

Fun fact: the one U.S. departent store chain uses Windows 7 for a kiosk. The Home Depot paint kiosk ui is html-based and runs from a server on localhost. MS-DOS crashes with ACPI on v86.

This is just tangential, but the composer of that song (Stan LePard) uploaded a high quality version of it to SoundCloud (as compared to the mono 64 kbps WMA file you get in Windows XP), but I'm not going to link to it because I'm assuming that SoundCloud links are not allowed here.

Fun fact, the song was originally composed in 1996 for Microsoft's Internet Starter Kit, and there was also a remixed version made (apparently for Windows 98's Out Of Box Experience, although that never came to fruition).

I actually already knew that from watching YouTube, where everyone was trying to find the composer of the song and it was found. I'm not gonna mention the name but you might know it anyway.

and before you get mad at me, yes, it is a graphical shell for MS-DOS, not an actual os, Windows 3.0 (2.0?) was the first actual os, i used it online.
