I think the first version of DOS I used was 3.2 or 3.3. My first PC came with Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Windows XP may have ultimately been the best version of Windows (with an honorable mention to Windows 7), it was Windows 95 I remember most looking forward to and I still think 3.1 to 95 was the single most impressive upgrade they ever did.

No doubt about it. 95 was a huge event 30 years ago. It seems the optimism and enthusiasm for technological advances started to fade around 2005.

EDIT: cross-referencing the DOS release timeline, I might have started with DOS 3.x, but it was probably 4. And when I was briefly incarcerated in government school, there were a couple dozen Apple ][ computers in the computer lab. They probably ran ProDOS, but all we cared about was Oregon Trail.
