MS-DOS
1989–1991
Fond memories of playing Ultima VI from half a dozen 3.5 inch floppies and messing around with automation using batch files.
Windows 3.1
1994
Fond memories of my favourite arcade game Street Fighter 2 actually running on it as well as being mezmerised by the installed tiled wallpapers.
Windows 95
1996–1998
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.
Windows 98
1998–2000
Somewhat of a buggy blur.
BeOS
1999
Tried this out briefly when I was exploring a lot of different OSes.
Red Hat Linux
1999
Was the first Linux distro I ever installed. Didn't stick with it for long.
OS/2
1999
Tried this out briefly when I was exploring a lot of different OSes.
Windows NT 3.5
1999–2001
The first server I had to admin - running Netscape web/mail servers and Radius dialup servers.
Windows 2000
2000–2005
Was my main OS for quite some time. Most stable and fast Windows OS I ever used.
Windows XP
2004–2009
Was my main OS for quite a while. Did a lot of development on it. Stopped using once Linux became viable for full-time use.
Slackware
2005–2007
The first Linux distro I stuck with for regular use.
Ubuntu
2006–
Most polished desktop Linux. I use it on all my machines.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
2008–
I admin a handful of RHEL servers.
