How Many Operating Systems Do You Own......Legally

[asim]

DOS 3.31 (came with 286)
Windows 95 (came with new computer)
Windows 98 (came with new computer)
Redhat Linux 6.0 (book)
Redhat Linux 6.1 (bought)
Redhat Linux 6.2 (downloaded)
Redhat Linux 7.0 (got from a friend)
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r2 (downloaded)
BeOS 5.0 PE (downloaded)

those are all the ones I've used and installed; turbolinux came with an ethernet card I bought, but I've been converted to the debian side, so I don't need it. 🙂

Legal:
Caldera DOS
Win95
Win ME upgrade
Whistler Beta 1

Otherwise:
I don't feel like typing them all out.

Currently used:

Win2K Pro: won in a drawing, still in shrinkwrap. Oddly my home and work machines are running Win2K 🙂
WinME: I was a beta tester, so I received the official release free of charge
Linux Mandrake 7.2: I love high-speed 'net access
BeOS 5.0.3 Personal Edition: More high-speed goodness

My work PC shipped with NT4, but I took it off. I have Win98SE on here as well ... not sure where that came from 🙂

Also on my work PC, I *host* the install files/ISOs for Win95C, Win98, Win98SE, RedHat 6.2 & 7.0 (LAN links), Debian 2.2, Mandrake 7.2, QNX, BeOS 5.0 PE, FreeBSD 4.2, and NetBSD 1.5.

So, at the very least I could be legit at home. 🙂

The following are legal:

Windows 3.11 for workgroups, came with my first computer, seller forgot DOS disks though.
Windows 95 Upgrade
Windows 2000 Upgrade. That's all I use now.

The following have been borrowed from family members. We call it the "family licence."

DOS 6.22
Windows 95 OSR2.1
Windows 98
Win ME, but I couldn't get it running. Now it's a coaster.

 

[Wedesdo]

the only ones I own legally are:

Dos 6.12 (still on 5.5 inch disks - no working disk drive though)
Windows 3.1

Just call me BlackBeard!

HAHAHAHA....He said "Legal."

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Win95
Win95B
NT3.1
NT4
QNX
BeOS
a few distributions of Linux
ARC port of free and net BSD that I haven't gotten working


...okay, so the last 4 are all freeware for personal use 🙂


...and I have an educational Win2k disk that's never been used (probably stay that way)

Edit: it appears that I might be the only person on earth with NT 3.1 (no, it's not 3.51 nor Win3.1)

Windows 98
