I like 95 because it had a MS/DOS prompt.

So did 98, but 3.11 was best for DOS games for me.

I had an old setup where I had OS/2 Warp, DOS 6.22, Win 3.11, and Win 95. The DOS stuff was activated from a 3d Menu. I still have the '95 OS and the 3d Menu on the system in Victoria, even though it's 10 years old. That's the one with the dialup.

OS/2 was sort of fun. Ah, those were the days...

Nah, it's grand.

I was obsessed with OSes/GUIs in general. Still kinda am.

Best GUI i've used so far was KDE during the old Red Hat days. I hate the "glossy" look of most GUIs now.

Hi Horrorvren.

I wouldn't mind having Win95 or even XP on my current laptop but FTM I'm stuck w/Vista. If Win7 isn't any better I'm switching to Linux.

The old KDE was nice. IMO, KDE4 is overworked and buggy, and I'm still considering a move back to 3.5.

yep me too.
But from the "new" GUIs I still prefer KDE. (I am using 3.5)

Hi Punkdrew. I've heard that Win7 is better than Vista, but I haven't tried it myself. I prefer Linux to everything from Win2000 on anyway.

I haven't used the later versions of KDE, mostly GNOME. Used to think GNOME was alright, but I dislike it in it's later forms. They try too hard to look somewhat OSX-like these days.

BeOS is another one I really like. Shame it went bust.

The old Red Hat days were, well, just old. My first Red Hat install was back in 1996, with a GUI that looked like Solaris, and while I liked that look on a SunSparc, Red Hat could never do it justice.
