That's because 7 to Vista is something like 8.1 to 8 or XP to ME. It was technically the same OS, but completely fixed, or as some would say it "As it should be released". (Also, Vista's original idea development was a complete living hell for MS.)
Is it just me, or did the logins get progressively slower for most of the newer versions of Windows (not counting server editions)? I've used most of these and it feels like my my suspicions over that have now been confirmed after seeing them lined one up after the other like this with what looks to be default settings. For all the controversy around Windows 11, at least it looks like it logs in faster than Windows 10. lol
I feel like I've heard or read an explanation for this, that claimed that startup times indeed got slower to speed up the shutdown times. Win95 and 98 took AGES to shutdown (And you had to sit there and wait till it told you to push a button to actually turn off power). Win2k being first and foremost aimed at the office worker, startup times were deemed less important than shutdown times; When shutting down at 5 pm you just want to leave, while at 9 am you don't care if bootup takes 5 mins as you'll just go get yourself some coffee. _(edit to add: I remember now, this explanation came from one of my professors, an old dog who used to work for MS. I have an degree in Information Sciences )_
Well, these are all being done on VMWare on what I'd guess is an SSD, so the load times won't be accurate to period hardware in any event. Newer Windows do tend to load up more things (or more complex things), but the older Windows are being assisted by *absurdly* more powerful hardware than they were designed for. Remember that Windows 1 and 2 were built with *single-digit megahertz*, single-core processor speeds in mind!
Windows 8.1 never used the Windows Vista/Windows 7 startup sound also Windows 10 never had a startup sound BUT the reason why it does play the Windws Vista/Win7 startup sound because they never had idea or intensions for a start up sound so it was disabled but people enabled it through the settings
@@ThatRandomToast i'm meaning that Windows 8 8.1 and Windows 10 Dont have a Startup sound there never had one but in the file you can Active a startup sound and it will be the Windows Vista/7 Startup sound because within the Files there is a startup sound but 8 8.1 and Win10 never had intentions of having a startup sound but yeah if you want to active a startup sound on ur Windows 8 8.1 or Windows 10 PC you can but it uses the Windows Vista/7 Startup but Win11 has a startup chime
@@hedgieoffline Saying "don't have" in this case is pretty loose. In Windows Vista and later, the startup sound can no longer be changed in the registry nor Control Panel, but rather embedded in imageres.dll (imageres.dll.mun in Windows 10 version 1903 and later including Windows 11). Unlike Windows XP and earlier where it can be changed in Control Panel.
Amazing that you got all of these all loaded up in VM Ware! Can't have been easy with the older Windows iterations. I lived through almost all these from Win 3.11 onwards, including NT but not the servers. Only, I never did see Windows Whistler - what was that? I used Win NT4 because it was so much more stable than Win95, but I never saw NT5. Was that widely distributed? Epic effort - thanks!
3:19 en el caso de Windows NT 4.0 hubiera quedado genial de que se mostrara la imagen de Windows NT 4.0 en pantalla completa y mostrando la barra de iniciando Windows,así como lo hicieron con Windows 95, Windows 98 y Windows 2000; en vez de dejar la imagen de esa misma versión de Windows como margen
im 13 and i use win10, but weve had two pcs that run win7 theres a desktop at my house that runs win7 ultimate. im not sure what happened to it but i had to switch to the acer laptop at some point, and now that one is at my dads house since i have a laptop of my own. he still uses the acer one, though it is broken, to an extent and by that i mean that its usable, BUT the screen doesnt work so it needs to have a monitor, it has to be plugged in at all times and it bluescreens inconveniently often
The Windows 11 startup looks funnily similar to the Fedora Plymouth startup. Guess they stole the taskbar from MacOS and UI design from KDE, it only makes sense to rip off Plymouth next.
@@amongusisdeadstopjokingabo1484 it is true but Microsoft didn't steal the UI they asked MacOS and Apple to make the ui MacOS was the first OS to make the computer UI
XP and 7 were my childhood, and I feel honoured as someone who used these versions religiously when I was younger, looking back now, I wish Dad hadn't upgraded our home computer or thrown out the old Windows XP laptop that broke down but he's a computer engineer and he wants us to use the latest because apparently, Microsoft ended their support in these versions (sad I know) so I have to stick with Windows 10 now, also my school had to upgrade their Windows 7 computers to Windows 10 due to a trojan horse 😭
Windows XP was my childhood but funnily enough, it took years for my dad to upgrade our computer to Windows 7 and then Windows 10 before downgrading to Windows 8 and then upgrading back to Windows 10. My school on the other hand followed, they used Windows XP for years before upgrading to Windows 7 and after a trojan horse, we upgraded to Windows 10.
