hey guys, simple question: which operating system do you use?
i had the idea of this thread because i'll switch from windows xp to windows 7 tomorrow and i'm very sad about it. 9 years ago i started using pc's, and i started with win xp, and i never used anything else.

now you. what do you use? what was your first OS?

I think my first OS was Windows 95 or 98, and I'm currently using 32bit XP.
Edit: no, actually I now vaguely remember using DOS (back when you had to type in commands) and after that, a visual-looking version of DOS where your mouse cursor was a massive red rectangle.

Lol..windows is the most popular OS in the world...Also you will love the switch to Win7.

I warn you it will seem strange and take about a few days getting used to but I would NEVER go back to xp ever..i see XP at school and grimace at it..thats how much better 7 is.

Currently using XP still. Used to use DOS and Windows 3 and such back in the day. Windows ME for a while before XP, that was a crappy experience.

Here you go. Scroll to the bottom for download of a zip of the game.
Won't work if you're using 64 bit windows though I believe.

You will be very happy with the change to 7. I have been XP for most of my life, the only OS that I used heavily was windows 98 on a computer with a broken sound card that broke optical drives. 7 removed all of those little stability and speed issues that niggled at my brain over the XP period.
