NT/2000 always gets left out of these, I ran 2000 on an old PC for years past XP and Vista even. But all it was doing was running a vinyl and laser cutter.
They forgot 95 and ME as well.
ME would just be a brick wall.
And I would happily go back to using 2000 if I could. I held out all the way up to about 2012, at which point the number of games that wouldn't run out of the box got to an untenable amount. :(
Yeah ME wasn’t worth looking at, we downgraded my GF’s computer after it wouldn’t run well. 95 was a big jump over 3.1, but still more like a beta for 98.
But I switched to 2000 not long after it came out. I did set up my first home built PC with 98, in 98, just got a sudden flashback to the defragging screen. Shudders.
