The answer is...all of them. I took the test in January of last year and saw questions for 95, 98, 2000, XP, NT 4.0, and even ME.
Any 95 questions that I saw on the test also pertained to 98. Mostly 2000/XP type questions.

Gravyjoe is correct: All OS 95, 98, NT 4.0, ME, 2000 and XP. The best advice I could give you is make shure you know all of the Material. I used 6 differant exam practices and still saw things on the exam I didn't see in any of the practices. Only knowing how things worked and how to get to them pulled me thru the exam.

Yes you will see questions on all OS's.
Mine were mainly how to get to utilities and there names, and boot files of 9x and NT Os's.
Which isnt too hard if you know the name differences between the OS's and where they are situated.
