What OS is nostalgic to you?

[Vernam]

I have been reliving my childhood using Windows XP on a VM as that is what I grew up on. What OS did you guys grow up on?

Same for XP, although given that most of what I did was browsing the Internet, most websites are either too modern looking or broken.
I should do something like this YouTuber did so I can feel back in the 2000's

This whole era of OS UI design

Another one for XP, though in my case it's a souped-up installation of XP with a shell replacement, custom theme, the works. Was a huge fan of bbLean in those days.

We had Windows 95 very briefly. It came with the first computer we had in the house but we upgraded to 98 not too long after. Therefore technically I used 95 first but I only really remember using 98. I still remember my parents sitting through the tutorials that came with the OS. I remember the Mozart song that came bundled with it. I remember the various educational CD ROMs we had. My favourite was called Planetarium. Very basic by today's standards but phenomenal to me back then. Here's a link to an archive of the software in case you're interested. Pluto's still a planet!

I absolutely adore windows 7. It was the OS when I was in my early stages of school.

A combination of DOS (that I didn't understand at all, though my dad actually taught me how to use it to start programs), Macintosh.... whatever OS was used around 1998 ish and Windows XP.

I actually have more nostalgia for Windows mid 90's iconography and aspects due to how ubiquitous it was at the time.

The "Common Desktop Environment" of 90s commercial UNIXes.

We used Windows 95 for almost six years and then Windows XP all the way until 7 came out. 95 was my childhood and therefore the most nostalgic to me, but I think 7 is Microsoft's greatest operating system.

Windows 2000

WIndows XP and VIsta were really nice to use back in the day.

Windows XP was the first OS when I got my first own PC. It was some old, grey tower dekstop that barely ran Morrowind. Daioblo 1 ran fine though.
That's where I played flash games on, little fighter2, TESIII, Age of Mythology etc.
Before that I used Windows 2000 on the school computers in the elementary school computer lab.

 

[Ticbow2003]

Definitely windows XP for me. I recently built a PC specifically to run xp and it's the greatest. I also have some nostalgia for OSX as my primary school had some of the old translucent blue Apple IMACS

Windows XP without a doubt

The great commodore 64, with a gargantuan memory size of 64k, and no hard disk. Get ready to wait a good 10-15 minutes for a game to load in to memory from a 5.25 inch floppy disk.

Started off on Win98 with some edutainment games. I only really started getting into computers and the internet when my parents got a Windows Vista PC though so that's whats the most nostalgic for me

 

[imnotdeadyet]

XP, Vista and some nostalgia for my first OS Windows 2000. I occasionally fire up a VM with XP or 2000, grab a still compatible browser (unfortunately harder to find with each passing year) with Flash player and browse the archives to relive some of that nostalgia.
