Did you run a pirate version of MS DOS and Win 3.xx?

I should add that some people would have booted to a directory manager or menu system.

Windows was really the inferior of GUIs available, but at that time I was never critical of something that did what it was suppose to do. The problem nowadays is that you have to deal with Windows at some point no getting around it.

there's plenty of corporate environments where you might not need to use windows. Google for one.

Depends if you ever used those I'm actually a bit shocked how many amigans in this thread have owned PC on those MS DOS and Win 3.x times :-) I was in practise totally virgin for M$ stuff until some friends started to switch to PC after Win95... until then we all had only Amigas.

If its any consolation, when I finally moved to a peecee, it was win 98. Hated it like rats. Got ME later, which was even worse.

Now, Im on linux and back on my amiga
