What's the oldest operating system you have currently active on one of your computers?
Anyone have 98? 95? Me?
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?

I had used ME.
I still have Windows XP and 98 at some PCs in office.

Did not realize that someone can come up with that... good one! Sure, that counts - but then that seems to be the winner...

I had 95 on my Thinkpad but wanted OS/2. Screwed up that installation so I re-installed 95 and upgraded to 98. Now I have gone back to PCDOS 7 with win 3.1 for some of my software that does not run on Win8 and some hardware that does not come with USB and new machines don't come with the connectors (serial/parallel ports) that I also require.

What software you still need which require you to have PCDOS7 and win 3.1?
