I'm pretty sure I started in 1995. Used it for work and games until Win98 came out.

Never bought a single copy of this. Used a copy from work on my home PC for about a week before throwing it in the trash in disgust.

I remember spending a fair amount of time playing Myst and Freddi Fish on this OS. Those were good times.

I remember being astounded by the desktop the first time it booted after installing from the million floppy disks. Nothing quite made the same impression on me as the difference between 3.1 and 95.

This was the OS installed on the first PC I ever bought myself (used many others earlier) and the OS I used to discover the internet.

Was the first OS on my parents' first PC, a Dell of some kind in the late 90s that was eventually upgraded to Win98.
