 My start with Windows was with the release of Windows 286 / Windows 386
(Windows 2).  I worked at IBM at the time as a young intern and we were
experimenting with Windows on early PS/2 models.  Later after I graduated I
found myself in a Win 3.0 environment and it worked well for what we were
doing.  Windows ME was by far the worst, stability-wise.
