I've recently acquired a lot of old Windows discs through very legal means (no joking). First of all, here's makestation on Windows NT 4.0:

And a real ancient version of IE

[Darth-Apple]

Wow, I had no idea it was really that bad. And makestation looks... awful on old versions of windows!

Nice thread.

[Acko]

I'd like to see you even try to make that compatible with the primitive IE (and it still is primitive!)

[Darth-Apple]

I'm not sure if that's really possible within reason. I'm using SMF, and I'd have to rewrite all of the template files to really make that happen.

Maybe we'll get a really nice mobile version of the site at some point though.

Quit making me feel so old... I used the very first version of "Windows" ever, 1.x!



1.x through 3.x were actually just programs for DOS that provided a graphical environment. NT 4.0 was the first one to boot directly into Windows as a separate OS, but believe it or not, 2K was the the first version that actually didn't rely on DOS and have the option to boot into it.

[Acko]

I remember 2k, and it's bastard brother, Millennium Edition D:. The glory of having to put up with this mistake edition.

[Darth-Apple]

Millennium edition? LOL, that was worse than Vista and 8 combined.

[Acko]

There's a pattern of MS releases it seems. ME (bad) -> XP (great) -> Vista (bad) -> 7 (Vista Second Edtion) -> 8 (don't get me started) -> 9 will probably be not good.

[Darth-Apple]

They seem to alternate a bit, so you never know.

[Gmdykfuiygh66476]

they tend to have a larger downfall than an uprise.

it'll be something like...

fantastic > bad > great > very bad > good > horrible > bad > the worst thing to happen to computers anywhere

Windows Red 2020:
IE now ADDS viruses for free! No Downloading Needed!

[SpookyZalost]

I still use old versions of windows for compatibility sake.

currently I use a mix of xp, 8.1, 98SE and MSDOS 7.1 (the last one because it's a microsoft product).

I've got an XP SP2 disk on my desk at work.

[Darth-Apple]

I have XP on a virtual machine. I use it from time to time for various reasons. Not often, usually for experimental purposes.

I need to get me a copy of 3.1 That was my first favorite.

Hy, I have something there, Windows 3.1 and Dos, I can put a copy with you for security, I downloaded it once, if it works .... i dont no

[Darth-Apple]

Oh god... Windows 3.1?

I do have it on a virtual machine somewhere. It’s... something.

How about 3.11 for Workgroups?

(The joke being that apparently these trains - released 2002 - run on Windows 3.11 for Workgroups)
