DOS Games Discussion

Tell me which kind of OS you are using.

Windows 98 SE. A bit old, but good enough. Still had it lieing around here somewhere and didn't feel like buying XP with my new PC.

I use windows Xp

Now you see that's the trubble with such polls.
I am using msdos7.10, win98SE and WinXp, and have W98/W95osr2 on an old HD wich I sometimes plug in when needed.
Usualy (as in now) I'm on W98SE, or WinXP. So tell me : What do I vote ?

Oh yeah: also sometimes in MSDOS6.22 or MSDOS5.................
And still have a sysbackup from W2000 laying around somewhere........
Hmmm....guess I'm most in W98SE, so give that one my vote...........

I have 3 machines with XP, 1 machine with Win98SE and 2 machines with DOS 6.22.

I'm running windows ME on this PIII, windows 98 SE on my daughter's PIII and Dos 6.22 on my pentium. I also have Windows 3.1 and 95 and PC DOS (is anyone fmailiar with that?).

Yeah, I'm familiar with PC DOS. I once had an IBM Thinkpad 80486-SX33 laptop which had PC DOS 6.3, virtually equivalent to MS-DOS 5.0. Which version of PC DOS are you using? Anything special about it?

I use Windows 2000 Professional on my Pentium 200-MMX. On My Celeron 2 GHz I use Windows Xp Pro SP2; On My Celeron 300A I use Windows 95; on my old 286 I use Windows 3.1.

i only have xp i think....i dont know much about computer hmmmm and i took 3 classes in high school, meh

It's 6.3. I've just got the floppies and never used it. I also have Knoppix and Damn Small Linux to add to the OS list. Finally got around to giving Linux a try...With those it's as easy as Windows.

I Do use windows but i hate it..

I am a mac man.
YOu shouldnt have macintosh/other
it should be
Macintosh
Solaris
Linux
Then Dos

I vote for Windows 95 because it work great for your Games and other stuff like that.

Use what works. Hence DOS for my DOS games, Win 98SE for my daughter's Windows stuff, Win ME for my husbands games and once I pertition the HDD on the Win ME machine, Linux for me and my web surfing and other stuff.

There's no perfect OS, only OS's more suited to some things than others.

Except for Win ME of course. It really is just crap.

BTW you can run DOs on a mac natively via an expansion card.

Win XP because this is the OS which came with my comp. I also have a Live CD of Damn Small Linux which you download from the NET & burn to a cd & put it into your computer before you restart & when you restart your comp, the CD boots you into Linux.

i use 98 SE coz its kinda better than 95 in some ways also you dont need to buy windows plus to customize the S*** out of it.

Windows XP SP2.
I use to run Windows 98 and Windows 95 on the machines had I prior to this machine. And before that was running Windows 3.1 on an Amstrad 286...which was some time ago.

No linux?

windows xp home sp2... sooo totally stable and virus free compared to the horrors of winblows 98.

Your'e right franpa! SP2 fails less often but when it FAILS....
Nasty!
