Windows 3.1
1992–1997
Used it sparingly, although never on my computers
Microsoft Windows
1992–
Started with it, now my interactions are limited to "maintenance for third parties"
MS-DOS
1992–1995
Some computers at school had only MS-DOS, back then
Windows 95
1995–1999
Honestly don't remember much of it. Needed a lot of maintenance.
Red Hat Linux
1999–2002
First Linux I had. Was a good way to begin.
Linux
1999–
The everyday OS for me since 2001
Windows 98
1999–2001
A lot slower than W95. And I hated how IE got everywhere.
Windows 2000
2000–2002
Not an extensive usage, mostly work stuff. Used to be quite stable.
Windows Me
2000
It crashed three times while installing it.
BeOS
2000
I installed it, played with it a few days. Then it was gone. But it looked cute.
Debian
2002–2005
Rock stable. Also, initially one of the few linuxes where graphical tools did not overwrite your custom config files.
Slackware
2002–2004
Was so simple. And like most simple designs, quite sturdy.
Windows XP
2003–2007
Been the Office-OS for a long time. For a time I had installed on top of it bash, blackbox, and various ports of GNU tools.
NetBSD
2003
Briefly used it to convert an old computer to "home server".
OpenBSD
2003
I installed it once, then was like "why bother, I have bazillions of packages on other BSD"
Berkeley Software Distribution
2003–2006
On-and-off usage. Never offered any compelling reason to switch away from Linux.
Ubuntu
2004–2007
Daily (home) OS for those years. I did not like the "super patched kernel" policy.
Mac OS X
2006–
Maintenance, etc. Also, nowadays all my technically knowledgeable friends have switched to the dark... migrated to it.
Fedora
2007–
<3. Daily OS.
Windows Vista
2008–
Okay, it's the OS on my sister's PC. And guess who gets called to fix it?
Windows 7
2009–
Because my friends have it, and I sometimes use/fix their PCs.
Cleese
I never really used it, but I wanted to help develop (the technical level however was, and might still be, above my head)
