Red Hat Linux
Did you ever get a chance to use Red Hat Linux back in the day? It was a commercial open source version of Linux with the first stable release was on my fifth birthday ironically enough in 1995 but was discontinued in 2004. The OS was merged with Fedora Linux in 2003....

MSN Messenger
I used to use MSN back when I was a teenager in the mid to late 00's. My best friend and I would hop on chat rooms and get people's screennames and talk to random people on MSN Messenger. Do you have fond memories using this chat client? I thought it was better than AIM and Yahoo...

Windows Classic 7
So this is a mod of Windows 10 LTSC, but since it's meant to act and look like Windows 7 I figured I would place it here. Yes it's not quite an alternative platform since it's Windows, but since it's based on an older version of Windows and functions on a operating system that is...
