I haven't used any truly ancient versions of Windows for a while now; however, I do have an amusing story about them from my youth.
The first computer I used was my dad's Windows 95 desktop, when I was five years old. I immediately figured out that the '95' in the operating system's name related to the fact that the year was 1995.
This all made sense to me, until about a year later, when I first saw a computer at school. Now, my school were a bit behind the times compared to my family, so they were still using Windows 3.1. Extrapolating from what I already knew about Windows 95, I figured out that this computer must have been made in the year 3. Not 1993, not 1903, not even 1003: just plain old AD 3. As for the '1' after the decimal point, I figured that this must have meant it was released in January.
"Wow, a computer from when Jesus was alive !" I thought to myself. "I wonder whether he ever used it?"
Yep... taking "Ancient Windows versions" to a whole new level !!!!
