    You forgot Duotronic, Multitronic and LCARS...

    I unfortunately run Windoze 98 SE on both Minerva (my PC) and Athena (my laptop).

    I dual-boot Mac OS 9 or OS X on my 12" iBook laptop. The majority of my software is OS 9 compatible.

    I'm still somewhat scarred by my experience with Windows Millenium Edition - I don't think I've ever seen so many blue screens of death.

    At home I use Windows XP. At work I use a bunch of stuff - I've written device drivers for Solaris and Windows XP Embedded in the past few years.

    2k & XP at work, 98SE at home. Likely switching to 2k at home when I get around to it: Most likely as part of my next HD upgrade.

    Win XP and Knoppix for Linux flavour
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    I still have my dual boot set up for Winblows XP and 98 - it's from the time that I upgraded and promptly realised.. Windows XP did not nor would ever support my modem - oh what a happy time that was - so it was "ahh look at all the magical colours, all the pretty lights and flashing things... Ok back to Windows 98 to run some actual software"

    The answer to the question of "which of these have you used" the answer is .. yes Used pretty much all of them and a few more - Windows NT4 (wretch) isn't even on there or Workbench 3.0 !!!
