Windows 98SE and Fedora Core 3 (linux), on the same computer. They both work, though I'm starting to run into stuff that refuses to run under Win98.

Which is ironic and humorous to me.

On the plus side, most viruses give up in disgust. :P

Seriously, though, I've run Neverwinter Nights, Diablo 2, and a few other games with some level of graphical intensity, and they worked fine. Or did, at least. At the moment, 98 has no idea what my graphics card is. I actually reinstalled Windows, and it still has no idea what it's doing. It thinks my Geforce 2 MX has 2080 MB of video memory. I have the latest drivers and everything, so it's annoying.

It also means that anything that tries to use hardware acceleration tries to use this phantom 2048 MB of memory, and I get memory protection errors.

It isn't the card - it works perfectly under Linux.

Software that is designed to run on Windows fails to run on Windows, but runs in an emulated architecture set-up in an alternate, non-Windows environment.

I see. Yes, that would be ironic, if Jp had mentioned emulation anywhere in his post. =)

Oh I thought he said he was running Windows apps in Linux because they wouldn't run in Windows 98... I misread.

Used:
DOS
Mac 9.1 and X
Windows 3.1
Windows 95
Windows 98

Now:
Windows XP (for teh games!)
Feb 8 2006, 1:44 am
Now:

Windows XP. It runs most things I need and it's one of the more stable Windows releases.

In the past:

OS/2 (on a 386!)
Windows 3.1 running inside OS/2 (I used it for Paint, which was even crappier back then than it is now)
Windows 98 (old school goodness)
Windows ME (UGH - I only tolerated it because I was too cheap to get a router. Vanilla Windows 98 doesn't support Internet Connection Sharing, and I didn't have 98SE or 2000 - XP wasn't out then and NT 4.0 was bad for games)
Windows 98 again (once I got a router)
Linux (Mandrake, Debian)

You mean by stable, not showing the blue-screen of death? All they do is take a screenshot of your dekstop and plaster it on your screen so you can't click anything. Aka, "Freezing".

Same with me - I've had very few problems with XP, most of which could be solved by patching the game I was trying to play (Startopia).

I've used
Whatever the hell was on old Acorns (MAN that was ages ago. 9 years, back to my lower school days!)
Amiga Workbench 1.3 (I think)
Whatever ran a Commodore 64 :-)
Apple OS Something or other (I played MOO2 on it)

And now for specific OSs.
Windows 3.11
Windows 95
Windows 98SE
Windows ME
Windows XP
