I kinda relived parts of my own childhood with the story. Funnily written for childhood memoirs :)
In my case the magical Windows version was Windows 95 Final Beta (AKA Chicago), which I managed to get through my fathers connections. Oh boy it was exciting for a fouth-grader to install it and figure out what went wrong etc.
(Although I strongly was in the OS/2 and Mac camps at the time;-)

Windows was far more common in our household than Mac and Linux. I think I saw a Mac laptop once when I was a kid. I had no clue what that thing was! Bit of a learning curve coming from Windows.
