hey - it's the same company now
they haven't advanced

"remember in the 90s when we had to defrag our disks?" "remember when we had to do multiple reboots for 'upgrades' all the time'.. remember when it actually stopped you working while it updated their shit*

parallel universe where microsoft is competent

It clearly is for color-blind people

Totally forgot about this

based MS-DOS

After all these years I'm still wondering why it was necessary to explicitly mark line numbers in fortran, logo and basic.

they regressed it

I remember using a theme like this in both Winamp and win98. Also that tray mp3 player... forgot the name.

Holy shit. I forgot all about the autoexec.bat. I remember always having to fuck around with mine back in the 90's.

Moving right along!

Back when Windows 10 was tolerable before it was ruined to satisfy all the noobs.

I loved Windows 10 back in the early Tech Preview days.

How's this any different from Windows 10 with a light blue colorscheme?
After the Anniversary Update it looks mostly like this.

and CONFIG.SYS
memory expanders of all kinds
hacks and quirks
interrupts and screen modes management
a whole zoo of mutually incompatible drivers for exotic one-of-a kind devices

Norton commander would like a word with you. Also there's a Linux clone called midnight commander.

Smarter than you think. You don't need blue blockers.

Makes me want to open up Lazarus and actually use a productive language/environment instead of all of this rust/go/haskell/memelang crap.

according to some programming langauge poll, obj. pascal/delphi/lazarus are still more popular than the latest hottest meme '''''''''coding languages""""""""""""""""""

Proof that somewhere in the world there are people getting shit done.

Oh, Delphi. I loved that shit cause it used pascal. But the build we had were bugged as hell, a single wrong move could mean all your work lost, had to restart the machine.

>Proof that somewhere in the world there are people creating technical debt.

>technical debt
what?

By the rate of "Why we switched from Memelang1 to Memelang2" posts, I don't think many of these people are concerned with technical debt at all...

They just start over for the faintest of reasons.

Because when you were coding on teletype machines, you couldn't just move the cursor in between lines and add a new line. If you wanted to add a line to your code then you could go from:

10 PRINT "YOU'RE A FLAMING"
20 GOTO 10

And you want it to actually print YOU'RE A FLAMING FAGGOT, you can just add

15 PRINT "FAGGOT "

to the end, to make

10 PRINT "YOU'RE A FLAMING"
20 GOTO 10
15 PRINT "FAGGOT "


and it will run it in the order 10,15,20.

So? Maybe you want to see the first command initializing properly.

please OP search before making a new thread
there already is a luddite shit thread, don't spam the board with this crap

I had an Amiga so I never had to fuck with MS-DOS and their shitty game ports.

Right because you only had one game to worry about, golden axe.

Had thousands of cracked games.
All SEGA game ports looked better on Amigas.

It really was different. I had it installed and it felt like Windows 7 with a flat theme and the good parts of 8.1.

>the good parts of 8.1

For one it had a consistent look all over, not a hundred different visual styles copypasted from desktop, tablet, phone and braille paradigms.

That is a hardware thread. This is software.

You are welcome to kill yourself if you don't like it, you little faggot.

and now...
