List the Windows OSes used, and rate them best>worst

Well, yes. But it was quite accidental.
I had a big clean-out some time ago, and found a lot of old OSes that I'd used over 20+ years or more, and realised that they
were worth keeping, for fun if for nothing else.
So, since then, I've picked a few others up, and do try to have at least some of them running on a regular basis (which ones I
have running does change from time to time).
My brother and friends think I'm mad for persisting in using and playing with them.
But someone has to, or they will be lost or forgotten.
Wenda.

Edit: - Hmm, just thinking...I don't have any versions of OS2 yet. (Slinks off to the nearest car-boot sale).

At least don't put it on the bottom, it doesn't deserved on the bottom (put it somewhere below 7 if you want to).

My statement just happened to be at the bottom of my post, you'll notice I left a space. That doesn't mean I ranked it last.
