Some of us here might remember the joys of using MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, and OS/2 Warp (with extended attributes) all from the same FAT16 filesystem.

(And actually, that usually worked OK. They didn't fight. The filesystem shims, where necessary, weren't always the most reliable, but the operating systems themselves and the applications associated with them were generally pretty chill together.)
