I now run Win 2K because my 30 gig with XP died and my brother couldn't find the XP CD.
 
Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux are the ones I mostly use. When it comes to school and/or work, I have to use MacOS 9.
 
I use Windows XP (Home edition) on my computer. It's okay, I guess. *shrug*
I've never tried any other OS except Windows (I've seen 95, ME, I think, and 2000). I'd like to though. It'd be a new expirence. ^^
 
My first computer was a 286 with Windows 3.1 . Hehe...anyone remember those old DOS games that said they wouldn't run in Windows because it took up too much memory? I used 3.1 for years...during that time I upgraded my CPU to a 386, then 486, and increased HD space from 100 to 200 MB.
I refused to upgrade to 95, and only upgraded to it when 98 was already out. (The reason for the upgrade? Later "The Magic Schoolbus" games required it. Lol).
I used 95 for a few years on my 133 MHz computer. I don't know why I got 98SE, but I'm glad I did. It was around this time that I got a HD upgrade to 6 GB, and though..."How would anyone ever use that much space?". Hah!
98SE held me through the releases of ME, 2000 and XP. By that time, I had an 80 GB hard drive and 766 MHz processor. Finally, my powersupply failed, taking everything with it: Hard drive, CPU, Motherboard, CD-RW...everything inside. Crushed, I went out and bought a new computer the next day.
This computer had XP Home SP1. I used that for 1.5 years, then did some upgrades on it. It's currently the computer I use the most, and has an AMD 3200+, and 690 GB HD space.

Wow...didn't intend to write a history of my computing, but anyway...oops.
