Well i had windows 3.1 first but mostly still used DOS and the great DOS Shell(anyone know where i can get that it only came with 3.1 they took it out in 95), then i went to 95 skipped 98 but i used it in school, went to 2000 for a while and ended up with XP home on the family PRO on mine.

Macintosh.

DOS had some GUI's before Windows, and 3.0 was not the first version of Windows. In fact, I still have a copy of Windows 1.0 new in the box (and original shrinkwrap).

3.0 was the first version I used regularly, and I remember being mostly disappointed.

I don't remember what kind of computer it was...but a "mouse" hadn't been invented yet, and the "programming" was done by punching holes in cards following a flow chart of yes/no questions. Sigh.

I was in England then, something like Sinclare, same guy who brought out a little plasic vehical which worked on electricity powered by an engine of a washing machine, anyway perhaps someone here can remember both the name of his computer and the name of his vehical, about 25 years ago now.

Sinclair Zx was the computer and the motorised bathtub was a C5 i think, a complete deathtrap!

The first version of windows I ever used was 3.1/DOS 6.22

[thenotch]

I used, like others here, MS-DOS way before Windows was a blip on the screen. I think my first system (around 1985) was running MS-DOS 3.0 on a IBM-XT with a green monochrome monitor, no hard drive, two 5 1/4" floppy drives and a whopping 64k (not MB, but KB) of memory.

I used Windows 3.11 for quite some time before I decided to move up to Windows 95 and it really took me a while to switch to 95 because to honest, I was VERY comfortable with DOS and Win95 seemed too odd to use.

I eventually got past all that once the GUI OS pretty much bcame the standard.

Yeah its really interesting how people are starting to move back to the less GUI dependant OSs like LINUX although i must say i was planning on switching over to LINUX for a while but im not so keen about it after seeing some a friend being driven to near insanity trying to figure it out for his informatics course at uni.

Im suprised people arent goinf straight back to DOS because it is still very simple and easy to use after all these years, you use it you know its going to work none of this farting around with yank and kill commands and installing software completely manually(I for one never want to go back to having to do that again).

First was windows 95, then 98, then windows ME, and now XP Home.

I had seen windows 3.1, but that was when I was very young (some thing like 5 years old) don't remember it.
