Was XP your first OS, by any chance? I really like the 98 UI, but that was my first and it evokes really nice memories.

XP was my favorite as well, at least among the Windows. Not the first OS I used (that would be DOS 3). But it was the last MS OS I used.

Oh it was my favorite OS as well, it crashed way way less and did its job admirably, I just prefer the Windows 98 UI.

So basically windows server 2003. Peak desktop productivity UX.

Yep, exactly.

XP x64 was a lovely desktop, and was essentially 2k3 desktop. Last Windows system I enjoyed using.

For me that was KDE 3. In fact, KDE 3 had such a fan base that even until today there is still an active port.

Windows 98 was my first, but I loved XP UI the most, especially in the later years when Microsoft launched the ZUNE XP theme.
