>they fell for the vista sucks meme
7 is just Vista with updates and some default options changed to be less intrusive
>>60337344
Vista was a shitty launch, it became usable later on. That is why people hate it.
>>60337329
Shit was sleek
>>60337491
Would you say the same about windows 8 and 8.1?
>>60337491
with SP1 i couldn't even enter the control panel or desktop background settings
It felt like an alpha release tbqh

I had all the cool shit, with windows and menus bursting into flames on close, and tornado of windows screensaver. Sometimes I left videos and cmatrix open just to make it look cooler.
Netscape

Also rain effect and wiper effect. Had a to-do list item to have rain effect activate when there's rain outside, but I never got around to it.

fucking flock holy shit, I was super into that at the time. Terrible idea for a browser, and opera are repeating it too.
they'll never make it look and feel this good, and they only achieved this because of the community designers lel, canonical is worthless
I'm 22 and remember all of these. You need to step your game up or stop fucking pretending you're old enough to be making these kind of threads.
>>60341872

Why though?

Ouch that'll take you back.

Kicked me in the nuts.
Anyone go back this far? Interesting bit of history, scream tracker was created by future crew, creators of the famous second reality asm demo, who then when on to create 3dmark.

feels bad desu. I never experienced the internet as a frontier, participating in chat rooms/forums/etc, before normalfags took it over :(
>>60339878
Yeah, which is why barely fucking anyone uses Windows 8/8.1 compared to 7 and 10.
Vista was not far from being completely unusable upon launch, primarily with its god awful driver support.
All of the time you spend jerking off trying to lie to yourself that the "good ol days" weren't shit, multiplied by minimum wage of 7.25 an hour, invested at 4%, over how many years you've been doing this, equals?
>>60342697
I remember RealPlayer.
In particular, I remember I had the original Hellsing TV Series and each episode was like 40 MB in the Real Player format.
At the time I was just happy to be able to watch the show, but now I look back and remember what a compressed mess it was.
>>60342976
I had an amiga too broseph, for playing golden axe. I sold it to some guy on a bbs, should have kept it.
>>60342981
They weren't any more shit then the shit we have now.
Problem with buttpain much?
not many will remember; also habitat and club caribe
>>60343017
>golden axe
Why did we love it? Literary no variation
>>60342977
It was just as shit then as it is now, just a slightly different flavour of shit. You're not missing out on anything.
>>60343060
Pretty much. It was smaller for sure, but still contained as much autism for it's size as it does today.
>>60342612
Lost.

I don't know back in the late 90s and early 2000s I made real friends on the internet, mainly irc. Pirating was a lot more personal on irc sharing ftp servers and such. Everything was more personal.
Now I only talk to you fags anonymously here on /g/.
>>60341663
I was.
Oh, I still am. Probably because I don't suck cock.
>>60343155
At least some people suck cock, you only have your hand to play with
>>60342948
That is a really cool UI. I don't remember it though. I was probably a baby at the time.
>>60341663
Plenty of non freetards installed Linux in those days because the cubes were cool

So why did M$ kill MSN when it had a larger userbase than fucking Skype??
what the actual fuck were they thinking?
>>60348791
The same they were thinking when they crippled pen messages and then removed the feature because no one used it anymore.
>>60342770
shit, that hit me hard
>>60342682
Jesus, its been like at least 15 years since I've seen that. Jesus fuck, 15 years sounds like a lot.

i was actually 11 in 2006, yet it seems enough to trigger your insecurities
best 4 pr0n
Started using this back in the day because my IE6 was broken and I was like 11 at the time, also it has fucking tabs which IE6 didn't. I still kinda miss it, or probably just the simpler times.
>>60348656
there was a hub setup at my school for while. was pretty legit until it got shut down.
>>60353722
still is best for picture viewing. how the fuck did windows become so fucking bloated that it takes it longer to load pictures than your pic related ever did.
>>60337227
I'm on a 2008 Dell PC running Vista right now. Had mine for 5 years and it still runs fine and it still runs its OEM install.
>>60353935
>I'm on a 2008 Dell PC running Vista right now. Had mine for 5 years
nothing wrong or impressive about that
>and it still runs fine and it still runs its OEM install.
dear god are you a fucking idiot??
>>60337200
>>60353964
And if you're curious about the bloatware, none of it is running.
>>60354237
>And if you're curious about the bloatware
>>60354428
What are you implying?
>>60354557
A typical Windows install has a short life, maybe six months before it gets infected with god knows what getting god knows what out of your computer either information through keylogger or who knows, and you can't clean that shit for the life of you. You're claiming to have a install running for the last ten years.
>>60354698
Proof?
>>60342682
Right in the nostalgia
>>60342743
Lol you dumb cuck, you'll never get over your paranoid delusion that no one knows what a millennial is. Keep cucking it up, cuckio.
>>60354851
>Proof?
Are you not online with that computer? What more proof do you want? download a firewall or wireshark and then watch the traffic logs.
>>60342697

thats the sad thing of having the high bandwith we got today, whats the point when we can't accomplish more than what we used to. basic web browsing can consume gigabytes of data.
>>60355056
i think thats why having access to broadband around the new millennium was so magical. i was actually useful from napster to ps1/dreamcast disks full rom sets, whatever we used the bandwidth then everyone got it and now its wasted just so some shit coder can call in third party libs for a function he should be able to write natively within a light framework
>>60353090
I got to know a lot of NES games through that.
