Bummed he did it in VMWare. That takes the challenge out of it.

 

[Atheist]

Yeah, he should have gradually upgraded the hardware along the way.

I love the fact that I've been alive for all these releases and used them all Makes me feel like a relic.

Yeah no kidding. With the exception of Win 1 I have installed every single one of those

I actually started out with some MacOS on an old Apple PowerPC that my dad had (why did bungie forsake Marathon for that piece of shit Halo?). Then I finally got an old computer somewhere that could barely surf the web via Windows 3.1. It was amazin. I liked the car wallpaper, looked like a wal-mart parking lot. lol

I started with DOS, then got a Win 3.1 PC, later on I had to upgrade to Win 95 because the windows version of Command & Conquer Red Alert and some other games required it. Afterwards came 98 and I may have skipped 2000, then XP, skipping Vista and thinking about Win 7 sometime soon.

 

[MaellaJohn]

I've only used from 98 and onwards. The older operating systems are so.. grotesque. :S

 

[Harry Hughes]

Haha I remember everything from 3.1 onwards. Remember seeing 3.1 back in like, '93 when I was 4-5 years old.
And fuck yeah, Doom II

 

[FIXXXER]

he left out fucking millenium, WTF!?

 

[sprack]

He says in the blog that ME wasn't a supported upgrade to 2000 so he skipped it. ME was a POS, without a doubt. Worst OS they did. He also skipped NT3/3.5/4 and service packs.

I remember when I installed ME, not only did it looked exactly the same as 98 it BSOD'd me like 5 times a day, everything crashed, it was simply unworkable, right down POS.

been there from the 3.1 and on, even though I have seen the 1.1 in the 80's on some classroom's computer at school I think
