      This makes so much sense hahaha.

      Probably giving away my years, but in my brain’s personal experience, Windows starts being an IT OS around the XP era. :p

        Nobody was going to stay on 3.11

        NT really lacked drivers and was super expensive.

        We used 95, skipped 98 until se came out. We did a fair amount of Win2k, XP was pretty rough until service pack 2. When Serviceback 3 hit, we eradicated everything else on the desktop.
