Solve : How old is your Windows?

Answer»

Just wondering if 95 or 98 is still in use? In this poll I don't mean that computer that has sat in the basement for 5 years to count it has to be used ad least once a month. I be the first to spill i still run 95 on a laptop.  Staying with good ol', STABLE Win 2K!

Until Win 7 comes out, and see how it does.I do for the most part, I have programs that are OLD enough that I need it to be there.  I am tring to fix a few of the issues but I am using it on ME....Still running 98 on virtual partition..I have- a PC-DOS 7 laptop with windows 3.1 that I usually fire up at least once a month for one reason or another.

Seems to be having issues now, though.

My other laptop isn't fired up near as often- (although around a year and a half ago I used it almost all the time), it has windows 98SE, 144MB of RAM and a 133Mhz Pentium.

the LCD is the crappy passive matrix kind.  works for the most part, hasn't been able to read my burned CDS for the last while, but I believe it's an issue with the brands...


MAYBE the poll should use checkboxes?I had tried vista for a week or two, but it destroyed my new computer, but when I went back to xp, everything worked just fine again!I still have Toshiba desktop with 98 on it, and Compaq with Win2K. Both in working condition, but in the closet, since I find using virtual Windows much more handy to use, if I need some reference.

Mr. paudashlake
This is a bull....LOL...nothing wrong with Vista
BTW, we're talking about OLD OSes here...heheheheI agree, in fact with my laptop it's quite the opposite- neither XP install allows suspend mode to recover- and the 2Ghz Processors stay at 16mhz or some other ridiculously low value.

Works 100% fine in vista though."Still running 98 on virtual partition.."
I guess that counts.
I've got Windows 2000 on my crappy old Dell. I use it every few weeks.
Have got Win 98 on another computer.Yep Win 98 on a computer I just built for someone else.

I have a set of Original Install disks for Windows 98 on 3 1/2 floppy's ..... all 38 of them Hahahaha. I remember windows 95 came on 14 floppies, I think. I think you had to actually request floppies for windows 98, though. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on April 06, 2009, 09:17:12 PM
