Oldest OS I've used would probably be BASIC, rewritten for RedPower2

BASIC is a language, not on OS, isn't it? An OS written for RP2 wouldn't be more than a few years old.

[Symmetryc]

RP2's is called MineOS AFAIK

[Alice]

I think it is called MineOS, but there's a way to get BASIC on there. and sorry for the derp

[sploders101]

I don't remember what mine was, I thinkit was Windows XP but my favorite OS is kind of a tie between chromium os and ubuntu, but for gaming? DEFINEATLY ubuntu

[Jim]

Hehe. Windows 7 FTW.

[Agoldfish]

My first was XP. But the latest I've used was 95 or 98.

[robhol]

My first was probably Win95, but I've also used Win3.1. And a bunch of later (but still old) versions like 98/SE, 2000, ME and of course, XP...

[Pingu Rares]

windows xp. The copmuters came late in my coutry :/

[Csstform]

W95. Then XP, then Vista corrupted my laptop, now 7.

[TheOddByte]

Hang on...let me put my cane down... FIrst OS I remember playing with was on a Tandy TRS-80 (cassette tape based storage - endlessly adjust speed and volume until it worked). First OS I remember seriously using was on my Apple ][+. It had timing based instead of interrupt based events, built in assembler and BASIC, and you could run Apple DOS, CP/M, and 1 or 2 other OSes if memory serves - so much fun. You could also use a hole punch on cheap floppies to get access to both sides of the media and double the storage. Good times

Ah good old bluescreens of death...

Apple seems to have caught on to those too, the icon for a Windows PC in the Network file page on a Mac is this:





However, saying that, Macs do run in to kernel panics, but I've seen far more BSODs than kernel panics.

I imagine working specimens would be rather pricey considering their age alone. Somewhere in a box in my garage I still have my ][+, a //c (semi-portable), and my friend's old //e - can't imagine selling them, though. Making the switch to PC was a shocker - DOS was weak, basic wasn't 'built-in', nor was an assembler interface, and 8.3 file-names were restrictive...but Windows was interesting, the machine had more than 40x the amount of RAM of my ][+, and gaming at 1024x768 in 256 color at 15+ fps was pretty awesome

switching away from unix to dos-based is a really painful direction though. such a bad development philosophy.
