GEOS 2.0 for the Commodore 128.

Like this? That's pretty old school.

That's the Commodore 64 version. The 128 version has somewhat better graphics, but is otherwise almost identical.

It has a perfectly usable, for most things, word processor app, and a good spreadsheet among other things. I'm a musician with a band, and I use my Commodore 128 to manage that -- set lists, contacts, calendar, etc...

Not because it's practical, but because it's fun.
 
I use Windows, largely because it does what I need perfectly well and I can't be bothered looking for an alternative when I'm fine with what I have.

I can't really call it "favourite" though since I've never put in any significant time using alternatives to compare (barring using a Mac a little bit at one workplace about 7 or so years ago).
 
Atari DOS, several versions on the Atari 800XL and 65XE, MSX basic on my MSX machines, Atari TOS and GEM on the Atari ST machines, Commodore BASIC on my Commodore 64's on the XT machines DOS 5.1 on my 386 I use DOS 5.1 and Windows 3.0 on my 486 machine IBM DOS 2000 and Windows 3.11 for workgroups, on my Pentium 133 I use Puppy Linux which is installed on HDD, on my Pentium 233 MMX and P-II 333 I use Windows 98SE then I have some Pentium II, III and older AMD machines running Windows 2000 Pro, Suse Linux, or Xubuntu Linux my modern machines run either Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP I do NOT use Vista...
