I would’ve stopped at Monkey Island and played it lol
I want my Windows 98 computer back. Oh the nostalgia!
@tommyjones1978 Yes, they do. In fact, Microsoft’s saving grace is the plethora of programs that are still compatible. Unfortunately, that compatibility is waning because they’re spending much less effort on ancillary updates for popular programs that don’t use the Windows API properly.
this clip was posted on a swedish famous pc sheet
@tommyjones1978 don’t be such an idiot. Do you really think this video recommends starting with MS DOS 5 to install Windows 7?
WOW
Excelent!!
@xover76 Don´t get me wrong but i dont believe that MS enable that kind of compatibility for purpose… I dont believe they left on purpose the “calendar” and the “reversi”…
@tommyjones1978 the way i see it, it’s mostly a proof of concept video that shows how MS was able to keep some compatibility between different versions of it’s O/S over ~20 years.
Awesome!
whats the point of this video?? When i need an installation of windows i pick the version i want, and install it… even Microsoft say to users avoid the upgrade from early versions… so, in my opinion this video is useless in all senses…
ah the good old days of windows 98.
That was amazing!
this is a pretty damn good video! i enjoyed every second of it:)
Very cool. Can you believe, reversi!
great work, I have found this very interesting, thank you
@Mandse when ubuntu gets to the same level as windows 2000 I will use it
Very interesting. Well done.
Ah, memories! I still have a tower that runs Win 98.
you talk funny lol
XP 64 bit, Vista 64 bit, and 7 64-bit lose some of the compatibility because they remove the ability to run 16-bit applications. IIRC Windows 8 is supposed to be 64-bit only (on the desktop anyways).
@mattthepie Windows 2000 was an NT version of Windows, and was marketed towards businesses. ME was in the DOS path (the last one in that line), which is why 2000 couldn’t upgrade to it (even though ME came out a few months later) and was marketed towards home users. XP was the successor to both (and ME was not the successor to 2000).
@Freeisme We can with emulators. I’ll admit that Apple’s compatibility through versions is atrocious, but come on, Apple switched processor architectures! It’s not like Apple completely through program compatibility down the toilet, though; when they switched to Intel they developed Rosetta, which allows us to run quite a few PowerPC applications without issue. It’s not perfect though.
Still, though I know what you’re getting at, your argument is flawed.
you kinddaaa sound like sean connery
@dosse91 Well, in that case: USER ERROR! Replace user, then try again.
@shamaniac80 Well, I learned from experience, that pre-installed OS’s are usually faulty. Thus when I bought my new laptop, I immediately put the W7 disc in, and formatted the bastard. That was a good year ago, and so since it’s been working like a charm.
