Windows 95. My dad used to pirate all our Windows editions until he realized the company he worked for at the time could just give him a free legit copy.

 

Let's just say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ;)

What was the Microsoft Windows version of your first computer? Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP service pack 2 :P, Vista, 7, 8... 10? Any Windows NT?

 

In my case it's Windows 2000, not bad ;)

Before that DOS 4.2 and 6.0

derailing a bit but I've just received a notification saying "Your post has been marked as the best answer" but I don't see it on top like on the old forums 

I think that's a bug? happened twice today. I went into my tests posts and made a demo thread and a comment, then marked that comment as "solution" and it did showed up, I can't react with a heart though but I believe that triggered the notification.-

Possible it was marked then removed, then again maybe not. You should bring this up in the forum update topic so Mortis is aware.

MS-DOS both at work and at home.  Moved to Win 3 when it came out and progressed through about all the other versions.  We were on Win NT at work for a long time as it was a very stable build.
