What was the first OS you've ever used?

OS? Couldn't tell you. Some form of DOS I guess. Someone can tell me, I'm sure. First computer I used was an IBM Tandy 1000.
 
Used a C64 back in the early 80s, not really an operating system existed for the machine, as it was more or less a basic shell when you turned the machine on. But there were powerful disk commands embedded in the floppy drive system, which had its own cpu in it.
 
Whatever OS ran the Atari 600XL, if you can call that an OS. I guess the first true OS was DOS 3. something on my Tandy FD1400 laptop.
 
Ever? OS 6 maybe? On an Apple ][, I don't really remember what it was since it was at school. We also had a lab of 386s that ran DOS, probably 5.x.

Sadly, the first computer that I (i.e. my family) ever owned ran Win95.
 
Windows 3.1 was the first version of Windows I used.

Some old Apple IIe stuff before that, and other Mac stuff (can't remember).
 
Hmmm, either some early DOS (whatever was on my grandma's Tandy) or whatever OS was running on the Apple IIs we had in grade school (late 80s, early 90s - they were behind the times for computers).

Don't know if this comes first, or Mac OS on an Mac Plus.
