I still have Windows 98SE running as a virtual PC on my Windows Vista laptop.

It runs an old game that, for some reason, only worked if the DVD drive was mapped to D. Any other letter, and the game wouldn't see it.

Cool! I got Windows 3.1 to run as a virtual machine on my Windows 7 computer. I play DooM on it once in a while! That was my very first video game. Played it when I was maybe five or six and it is still a fun game.

...my oldest computer is a PIII...

Gotcha beat ! My oldest running computer is a twin processor PII server, running Windows NT Server.

My oldest dead one is a PC XT clone - but I have a new motherboard. It has an 8087 math coprocessaor, a 4 MB EMS board, and a 1X CD drive !

It had the switchable 4.77 / 8 Mhz clock speed. Woo hoo !
