    First real OS I used was VAX/VMS, late 90's when studying. Those days we learned coding using languages most of todays coders have never seen like Fortran and Cobol.

    A bit later CP/M. Since 1983 various DOS versions parallel with different AmigaOS versions, then each and every Windows version. Most Linux distros although I only feel familiar today with Novell SUSE. Solaris UNIX is also something I know quite well.

    MacOSX sucks!

    1976 - used HP 3000 Minicomputer, don't remember OS.
    1984 - DOS 2.1 - This was the first OS I purchased.
    1985 - DOS 3.1
    Eventually also used DOS 4.x, DOS 5.x but don't remember dates
    1985-present - Tried Windows 1.0, thought it was useless but eventually used every version of Windows including NT and Server editions.
    1986-1996 - IBM VM and MVS on IBM mainframes
    1989 - AmigaDOS 2.x?
    1987-1999 used various versions of OS/2. Started as a Beta tester pre 1.0, used thru Warp 4
    1996 - IBM i on AS/400
    2003 - Sun Solaris
    2009 - Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard
    Present - I have machines running XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8 as well as several running Linux distros

    I'm sure there's others I've forgotten. I've been a programmer/software engineer for almost 30 years so had to use/learn many OSes.
