Although it required bit of OS hacking, real mode DOS was used all the way to the often forgotten Windows Me.

Mistake edition. I had a very underpowered celeron running ME, and I got another two years of life out of that laptop by switching to vector Linux, which was incredibly fast. Only issue was that I think the migration from Oss to alsa was happening at the time, so had quite a bit of issues with Skype.
