Default oldest platform you are still running?

My boss has got to be the cheapest... we bought a couple of machines at auction.. still running Windows 98. Not really upgradeable. Then as I started to use them (sparingly), I began to remember how much less intrusive, and more stable they were.. Kinda like an old 50's car with like twelve wires under the hood..

We have a computer with ME on it. It is my husband's "toy" that he likes to tinker with. We also had an old laptop that the kids used to play games and write stories on, it was a 95 but it recently just quit working. We don't know what is the matter with it, and honestly it really isn't worth fixing.

Default 98se - sort of

I have Vista on my new desktop but my last one still has 98se on it. That one needs complete reformatting as it was given to me when my computer died, just to tide me over until getting this one. Since I only needed it for about a month, I didn't do much besides clean up and defrag. I'm setting it up for the kids to play games on so I'm going to reformat it later this week.

I have a desktop that runs 3.1 in the basement. I've been thinking of giving it to the neighbors kids to play on but can't seem to part with it. It was so reliable an somehow turning it into a toy/game machine for solitaire seems wrong.

Wow! 3.1! I haven't had a computer with that old a version of windows on it in years! The oldest version of windows I have right now is xp. I like it much better than the vista on my new machine.

We still have a mid 1990's Pre-Imac Macintosh that is running OS8. That machine only has 75 MHZ, and less than a GB of HD space for that matter. A friend of mine has a computer he's running Windows 3.1 on however.
