    Could you still edit a windows explorer folder with HTML/JavaScript in Windows 95? I'm sure I remember doing that when I was younger, to the great annoyance of my family lol.

    I can't remember what the menu option was called, it might have just been right-click->edit, but it's been a long time.

    Not actually using, but an old Toshiba laptop of mine that refuses to die, still has it installed. It's actually ironic...

    I use Wndows 7 and Ubuntu for main programming, and use XP for bits n bobs like Bochs. If it crashes n burns, no big deal!

    Still using XP at work. Though finally there are plans to upgrade "soon" (it's a very small company). We also rely on a few pieces of software from the 90's, so upgrading should prove interesting.

    Well I have XP loaded in a VM but I can't really say when the last time I actually used it. But I still have a Windows 2000 machine that I still use semi regularly.

    I know my stepdad still uses XP. The thing seems to be a virus magnet though, the highest IE version is 8, and that is what he uses to browse with. Still, XP and 7 were my favorite versions. I think XP was the first version I had that did actual multitasking, so it was a pretty big improvement.
