Segataritensoftii Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Mac OS 9.2. It's fast on my Sawtooth G4 in a way Mac OS X Leopard on a Core Duo Macbook Pro just isn't. The X86 DOS family is probably second place in that it leaves nearly the entire computer free when running programs, even when a lot of extensions are loaded.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 AMIGA WORKBENCH 3.1 as far as I am concerned it totally prepared me for MS Windows and I mean that in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 BeOS rocked. I got into it when the stores started carrying BeOS 5 and the office suite. Driver installation involved dragging the driver into a folder. Multitasking and multimedia were a silky smooth breeze. Hopefully Haiku brings all that goodness back. DOS never died for me. I still boot to it for motherboard BIOs flashes. Many of my hard drive tools still run under DOS. Heck, I remove file and folder permissions multiple times a day using a command line tool. I suppose it's the same for Linux shell people - once you know the commands it just works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikkarr Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I've always enjoyed good old DOS. I also like Windows 95, because of the nostalgia factor (had a Win95 AST growing up). That startup chime brings back a LOT of memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
