Mine will be Windows 98, because it really runs better than 95 as it should be.




Virtualbox runs better with Windows 98. Well, slightly better. ;D

NT 3.51, as it's a pain to set up properly (and sometimes to even install it), but when installed it's... interesting.

I'll just say that when installed the right way (proper 1020p+ True color resolution, sound, Ethernet), it can run a surprising amount of software.

(also, I never managed to install NT 3.51 on a VM, so I always started from an existing VMDK which didn't have sound, but that was easy to fix)

Next after NT 3.51, also try OS/2 Warp 4, MorphOS, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Ubuntu, ReactOS, and the list goes on and on ;)

Edit: Sadly MorphOS is PowerPC only so won't work in VirtualBox :S

Which may be one, because Windows Server 2008 doesn't supports most windows of applications.

OpenIndiana, which is a fork of the continuation of OpenSolaris.

It's not Linux. As I said, it's a fork of OpenSolaris, which was the open-source version of Sun's UNIX System V Release 4-based OS. That said, I think it has a GNU userland, and thus would have a lot of the same programs as Linux.

It looks Linux to me, but I like how everything style like Mac. I don't know if .exe can be able to run that version, but I know it can't because its for windows. So, it has to be some programs that runs with .exe.
