@@syn4x Win10 might be faster and more stable (or is it just faster because it's running on newer, more powerful computers?), but why does Microsoft have to keep changing the interface? That tiles crap is just that: crap. And their use of full screen and poorly defined borders when an app is not full-screen is confusing on the desktop. As if they decided to just throw out all of their User Interface Guidelines and do the opposite. MS' attempts to get you to use online apps instead of locally-installed apps is irritating and misleading. And give me some time and I'll think of a few more things about Win10 I don't like. Better? In what ways?
@@syn4x Oh, I get it. You've mistakenly assumed that I think Windows 98SE is better than Windows 10. Nope, I didn't say that. Try re-reading my original comment.
Yeah it's honestly pretty fun having a secondary dedicated retro computer! I've got it dual booted with Windows 98SE and Windows XP, and inside 98SE itself it's dual booted with MS-DOS. I gave it a CRT and everything with all the old style drives from back in the day. I mainly use it for legacy software that no longer works anymore on modern OS's, as it's difficult getting hardware acceleration on Windows 98 in a VM. Here are the specs I have for it: Motherboard: ASRock 775i65g Sound: Sound Blaster 128 Vibra Video card: GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Case: HPS-9631B Mid Tower (Which included a 620W PSU which was nice) CD drive: DvD/CD drive read/burn Floppy Drive: LS120 SuperDisk drive + 5.25 Floppy Drive MITSUMI/NEWTRONICS Model D509V5 CPU: Pentium 4 3.20GHz 512MB DDR1 Ram (I read that windows 98 can run with 1GB ram but can be buggy with that much ram so got half instead) 200GB Sata Harddrive (With IDE adapter) Iomega 120mb ZIP Disk drive
VMs can be immensely temperamental, and DOS Box isn't perfect. Someday, I may dual boot my XP machine from '04 with 98Te just to have a dedicated DOS machine.
Windows 10: YOUR WINDOWS NEEDS TO UPDATE. UPDATE NOW. NOW. NOW!! NOOOWWW!!!!!!!! FUCK! YOU DONT WANT TO UPDATE??? LET ME FIRE UP SOME BACKGROUND TASKS AND FREEZE YOUR PC UNTIL ITS SLOWER THAN A PENTIUM 3 POTATO!!!
This video just blew my mind. I remember Win 98SE. It was the bomb! I almost forgot about it. I loved XP, and I'm generally happy with Windows 7. It's really sad that such a capable company has created an inferior, privacy-invading OS. I feel trapped and hopeless. I'm clinging on to Windows 7 as long as I can. I tried 8.1 it wasn't so bad. But I just can't get behind Windows 10. I keep scouring the interwebs for some shred of hope, but there seems to be none.
That's why Windows 2000 is my favourite Windows ever: same UI as W98, rock-solid, and can run many games flawlessly (unlike Windows NT 4 which is also cool but too restrictive).
@@fellowkid4762 Yes, Win 2000 was first common NT based Windows so it was much more stable, but in 2000 most of people didn't have hardware for that, it was similar problem like with Win Vista. Win 2000 needs 256 MB ram for reasonable using that, same like later Win XP and NT based Windows can't run old DOS games and even some of Win 95/98 games. But for office Win 2000 was perfect because of stability. We had Win 2000 in school with 866 MHz Pentium and 128 MB ram and CPU is ok, but with 128 MB ram it was useless, even stupid excel was starting few minutes because everything was in virtual memory on HDD.
they werent really thinking when they got rid of all the buttons on EVERYTHING. a lot of time is spent looking for where they put them all IF THEY EVEN INCLUDED THEM.
This computer has performed an illegal operation and the police will have your computer arrested and go to jail! Please backup all important data to external storage media such as floppy disks.
If you put the classic task manager it wouldn't tell you it uses 99 percent CPU. I can't provide a download site, I only can tell it's found on winaero.com
Because its still loading things that your 1999 HDD cant keep up with. It is very mush so an issue with the HDD. Get a faster HDD or an SSD and suddenly its not an issue. If its active and you haven't been doing anything for the last 5 mins then thats probably its memory manager running to make your PC run as smooth as possible on your trash hardware. Look up Windows 10's memory manager and everything about the core of the OS and how it works.
Actually, you can have gif wallpapers if you use PRO and PRO only. It sucks that Microsoft just wants us to spend more money on stuff we don't really need.
To be honest, as much as I love legacy Windows and the nostalgia behind it. Windows 10 is just so much better, get rid of the M$ bullshit and you're left with a fast, non-buggy, streamlined version of Windows that looks sleek and sexy. Windows at this point is just streamlined for idiots. And I benefit from that, not being an idiot myself. The overall UI just makes it easy to get around places then it used to be in 98.
I always hated the metro design, I find that the Windows 7 theme is the best looking theme to date. Metro just feels really really lazy, and every company is doing it these days.
Yeah Vista replaced it with dream-scene where you could have MPG's as your wallpaper, and in 7 it's a hidden feature that requires a tool. And in 8+ they finally removed it altogether.
The secret of moving GIF wallpaper is the Active Desktop. The main use of Active Desktop is you can make an html file or just a webpage as a wallpaper and they work as if they were in a internet browser. I think the reason Vista stop the moving GIF wallpaper is because Active Desktop is removed if I'm right.
It seems that Microsoft has favoured it's corporate customers over general computer users and computer enthusiasts when it comes to Windows 10. That's why a lot of it semms and looks boring
RobertCrowther To be honest they shafted corporate users too. I image Windows 10 PCs in work all the time and they still bundle all the Candy Crush crap and even Spotify appeared recently. Not the sort of stuff you want on a business machine. Enterprise LTSB is the only version suitable for business use in my opinion and they make it so hard to obtain (you need a volume licence agreement).
Really, Win 98 and 10 are no different. Win 98 - Forced Internet Explorer integrated crap down your throat. Win 10 - Forces bloatware applications crap down your throat. Same shtick, just 20 years apart.
thanks jk lol you got a whole 20 colors for customizations, not to mention they look dog shit ugly so why you’d want to use them is beyond me, also you’re telling me customizing when 90% of that looks like vomit isn’t tedious? Please! Sure if you want to be crazy about it and paint all your system windows blood red for the sake of it then you’ll need some sort of third party application but for 99.9% of us the options included are more than enough. Why they would cater to your weird and specific niche tastes and bloat their os even more for something only 0.1% of their customer base uses is also beyond them
Wow dude nice review , I kind of like how you showed how Win98 is fully customisable + I was surprised that the GIF files can run on your wallpaper , that's insane ! Nowadays you have to install Wallpaper Engine or some 3rd party software to make them GIFs work + no OneDrive pop-ups , no already installed unecessary apps (Windows Store , Skype , Facebook , Farm Ville 2... WTH...) , No fucking app suggestions on the start menu , and no Microsoft employee spying on you
Well with 98 you can even have web pages as your wallpaper and you can click links etc! People made a lot of interesting active desktop guis at the time
Back when things were more alive , not just... Squares and colors... UIs are now too simple , cuz that's what this hipster generation wants , they only want aesthetics and forgot about how functional and practical things were. :'(
I absolutely hate that simple flat colour design, but they're putting on many applications now. Look at older versions of google chrome compared to the latest, same goes with android os too. it's bOOORING
Third party or not, it's still an option. Try out custom theme drivers for Windows 10, install WinAero Tweaker and/or use Window Blinds (costs money but gives you complete control, while with the other method you kinda rely on pepole doing it for you, unless you know how that stuff works), and of course Wallpaper Engine like you mentioned. This is one way I made Windows 10 look: imgur.com/gallery/2xo7V Oh, and don't forget to opt out of the "spying". SpyBot AntiBeacon is a simple tool that does everything for you. I don't see why Microsoft doesn't just add native customization, but at the same time you're no worse off with the third party tools. You just have to know they exist.
Sanok Maynik lol the last line is so true...................... Mac OS is for lazy or stupid users. 95 and xp give you programming-tips n guides, when you bought DOS, you got a more than 800pages about how to write programs yourself.
At least I got it on my PC again, it's great to play honestly. Very creative. And I use an XPS, not quite sure if it's some kind of upgrade to XP or if it's straight up 7. I am never touching 10. Also, why wasn't there a Windows 9?
Max DragonSoul Microsoft had problems with naming their OS as Windows 9 because there was an issue that Windows 9* programs could malfunction. Every new version of Windows is built on top of older computer code.
Excellent video. If you enjoy removal of features for no reason, the lack of customization, poor UWP/Win32 implementation, a broken update system that gives you NO CONTROL, unwanted ads in the file explorer and other places (such as the lock screen), an operating system that is a CONSTANT work in progress, and to top it all off: a shitty, lazy, substance-lacking piece of GARBAGE of a user interface (that looks like it was designed in MS Paint), then Windows 10 is for you. As for those of us SANE people who actually use their computer as a WORK TOOL and not just a TOY, we shall stick to Windows 7 indefinitely (I personally prefer Vista SP2 to this day but probably won't be using it much longer due to lack of third party support). Due to the above, Windows 10 is killing the PC market and if you're really incompetent and unintelligent enough to overlook its hundreds of deal-breaking flaws to somehow come to the conclusion that it's even SOMEWHAT of a good OS, then you must be a Microsoft fanboy and will just take whatever is given to you, no matter what... Or you're just 12 years old and have no frame of reference to begin with.
It's actually such a shame that Vista is being forcefully discontinued, it shares like the majority of the same kernel functions as Windows 7. But the day Windows 7 gets discontinued is probably when I'll have dual boot Ubuntu or something. Never using 10 as my main OS.
YourTechGuy- Stop trying to undermine my criticism of Windows 10 by saying I take things "too seriously". I'm not really responding to the video, more so to the dozens of comments made by butthurt Windows 10 fanboys (who are the ones who DID take this video, as you put it, "too serious"). Being passionate about something and taking something way too seriously aren't the same thing. I get that this video is a joke, but it does, whether the author intended it to or not, point out some ways that Windows 10 is (both objectively and subjectively) a worse operating system than Windows 98. I get that architecturally speaking, Windows 10 is a "better" operating system by default since it's based on the rock solid Windows NT foundation, with Windows 98 being based on the far inferior MS-DOS kernel. The point of my original comment was to point out the various flaws of Windows 10 that people somehow either overlook or believe that these flaws make it "better" than its predecessors, when in reality these are flaws that make it an atrocious operating system for anyone who actually uses their computer for serious business, not Minecraft. This was in response to various comments that blindly praise Windows 10 without giving any actual reason as to why it's a good operating system, because it isn't. Calling me "vistafan" only shows that you're trying to make a mockery of me since my opinion on Windows Vista doesn't necessarily align with the majority, so there's no room to enlighten.
just fuck off.... Why the hell you need to be hyper-rude to people who uses 10? Dont be jelly that you use MLPdows 8, Have you even tried FCP? I think you only used the RTM, Also why choose style over work? i dont give a fuck on these stupid customizations.... except u who is stuck on winlag vislag.... A version who is crappier than 7, And imo 10 isnt ugly... at least compared to 8.1 aeroish taskbar,btw im starting to think u are a apple fanboy, Do u use a fucking ipad or iPhone?
Oh wow, lemme know how you go with that! My normal setup is just 2 computers right beside each other. The first one dual boots 98/XP and I mainly for older software/games. Then the 2nd PC is used for the majority of things and runs Windows 7. I'll tell ya a quick story, a while back my main PC's PSU blew up and I had to use the Windows 98SE PC as my main PC (before I dual booted it with XP) and it got really difficult to use the internet and to just do day to day things on it. Only thing it was good at was playing games so that's what I did for 2 weeks until the PSU arrived. But it was a fun experience
Using mobile sites, several unofficial patches, and extenders I haven't had to much trouble so far. I was surprised youtube did load and play no problems. The patch that has helped the most is kernelex it patches newer windows 2000/xp apps run on 98se, or rather it adds the missing system apis/calls to the 98SE kernel so the newer apps run. Its like reverse of the compatability tab in XP
98 was good but it can’t be used due to no compatibility with most programs and websites and with low security , personally I really like windows 10 although it’s far from perfect.
I'm having the opposite problem with Windows 10 where pretty much any game made before 2005 has some kind of issue on 10. I thought the backwards compatibility on Windows 7 was bad at the time yet that's what I'm personally using as my main OS hahaha
With KernelEx, you can have win9x systems run some modern apps, like modern browsers and some games. It also fixes quite a few other problems & bugs under the hood. security on 9x is laughable, i'll give you that... simply pressing "cancel" on the log-in box still grants you full access to the system, for example.
Win 10 have an atrocious UI although the damage had started happening slowly from 98. 98 introduced html onto the gui. It wasn't bad though but you could see some clickable text links in the sides of folders instead of using buttons for everything clickable like in 95. Then on XP we got a few more of these html links. Then in 7 we had parts of the control panel being almost fully driven by html links, like the network manager. And then, in 8, metro happened which flattened everything, independently of whether it was using buttons or html links. And win 10 kept going in removing all the old buttons and turning everything into long vertically scrolling webpages with clickable links and some metro buttons. So 10 is better than 8 because it has windows at least and while they don't hold a handle to older GUIs, they do have a lot of improvements. Most importantly the kernel is just the best ever, by far. They work better than 7 in my experience on low spec'ed computers as long as you have the disk space to handle them and their humongous updates. But it's an os that phones back home on every chance it gets. I'm not kidding, the number of system apps that keep accessing the internet all day long is a three digit number. I have netlimiter installed so I get to see every one of them when it first tries to get online and they keep adding more and more with every update.
I'm kind of regretting half arsing this video, there was so much more to talk about. I also wanted to compare program compatibility between the two OS's.
Sadly, Windows 7 is the last GOOD Windows ever... After that, Windows went downhill when they released Windows 8... ...And those OS'es make look Windows ME [Which i hate the most from Classic Windows Era] and Vista [They were some problems with RTM and SP1 of it.] look like masterpieces... BTW.This video actually makes me want a Windows 98SE and XP machine. [I know that the better idea is the VM's, but i dunno, i want this kind of machine anyway.]
that kind of boi True, but still. My order is: Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows ME/2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 8, Windows 3, Windows 2, Windows 1.
People really used to go all out customizing windows back in the day but now people are very minimalist and just want to get the OS out of the way so they can do their instagram or facebook or what ever. Windows has gotten so boring they don't even have startup or shutdown sounds anymore. Heck many of my friends don't even own desktop or laptop computers anymore they just use their phones for everything
You totally have a point. I grew up on 98, and then XP, but when we upgraded to Windows 10 I regretted it. It was slow and buggy on my 14 year old machine and it came filled with a bunch of bloatware (Candy Crush was the worst, who with a brain even plays that anymore?) but at the same time lacked features and software that were present and also very dear to me in Windows XP. And the worst part was the Metro UI. I hate it. It feels really cheap and it looks like something that was mashed up in Paint in around 10 minutes (come to think of it, that could be why it is called 10). It also lacked customization features that were present on 98 and XP, and since I am a customization maniac, I felt the loss of that the most. Sure, I could solve some of these issues with Classic Shell or StartIsBack, but not all of them. I really miss the carefully crafted realistic-kind of design from Windows XP. It had more depth, more colors, more of that something that gave it a character. It was a lot more vibrant, and a lot more capable of letting you make it your own, the way YOU liked it. Heck, even the 95 and 98 style is better than Metro. Talk about Luna or Aero. Earlier versions were easy to use as well, and sure Windows 10 is simple enough for new users, but to people who upgraded from Windows 7, XP or even earlier versions, the new Start and Settings and Explorer layouts are just confusing. And don't let me start about the bugs. They're all over the place. Just take as an example all of the Start menu bugs (google them if you don't know what I'm talking about). All in all, Vista was more stable than Windows 10. I just don't realize what's the point of giving more money than before for a product you're gonna hate. It's the same deal with iOS if you ask me. When Steve Jobs was alive, iPhones, coupled with their OSs, had much more character. Like the loss of features with each passing Windows version, we're losing more headphone jacks with each new smartphone.
Now I have a toshiba pc that used to run windows 8. It was made in 2012 (hence why it ran it) though it has been a long time since and in 2015 was when I decided to install windows 10 on it. It ran fine, until the updates rolled around. My pc eventually started getting slower and slower. It was never designed for windows 10 and that’s why. Maybe that’s why your 14 year old pc couldn’t run it well? Since windows 10 release it has become a lot better and I found that customisation has improved slightly. I personally like the OS, but it’s up to you whether you like it.
There was an update in the early stages of Windows 10 that made my uhh... 2005 PC, run EXTREMELY slow. In the first update it was snappy, god fucking *F A S T*, but since that update, it started to run 99% slower.
Windows 7 should honestly last forever and discontinue 8, 8.1, 10. Poor 7, it's the next to di--- well hell no! those updates are just security updates! ,,-but waitttttt11!1 new softwaer isn;t goin to suport ur beloved 7!11!!1" Well yes, and.. no, just like XP, 7 WILL and still has, MORE software support compared to 10. The only reason i have a hard disk with 7 and one with 10, it's because, for some reason, RTC (Real-time Corrupter) doesn't launch! at all!
It is not for technical reasons. I cant be bothered to write them down for about the 10th time here, but just note that Windows 98 is only better at customization.
When that was a new OS I thought it would be something that would require good enough hardware to even be powered due to how windows back then and now would be something of a monster OS that needs the best to run.
There's an annoying glitch in modern windows versions were if you use a custom cursor then the mouse will disappear randomly and won't cme back. This will always happen right away if a touch screen is used, but can happen anytime. that's why I nolonger use my own self-made custom cursors.
swiftlydoge27 《Dragonite Wolves》{Leader} Im still using custom-crusors without any problems, but that may be caused by my modifications(deleting cortana and so on). If you know how, you can easily use your computer without cursor.
My list of Windows Operating Systems Windows 95-present from my favorite to my least favorite *(I respect your opinion if you disagree):* 1. XP 2. 7 3. 2000 4. 98 5. 95 6. 10 7. 8.1 8. NT 9. Vista 10. 8 11. ME
i have windows 10 and i have a folder with thousands of jpeg pictures and i incidentally pasted there a wav file wich i did not remember the exact name....i tried to sort by date sort by type etc and i could not find the damn file plus explorer kept crashing because the folder has so many files...i was about to throw the pc out the window when i realized the solution... i used command line, switched to the folder i wanted and just typed dir *.wav... it took me 5 seconds.... but windows 10 sometimes even hides directory paths from you so you dont know were you are storing your shit...thats fuckin dumb WHY CANT WE TYPE COMMANDS IN THE WINDOWS EXPLORER ADRESS BAR MICROSOFT????WHY???? why there are those gay folders like documents, users etc, who needs that???people now cannot create their folders??? why the my computer icon is not on the desktop??? knowing your harddrive letters and commonly used folder paths is too complicated for the new generation??????? why do we disable updates and they enable themselves again? why theres is always stupid shit appearing in my start menu that i never asked for to be there? why does it take 2+ seconds to pop the start menu open if i have a 10 times faster pc than i had winth windows xp and it was damm faster? why the file search is dumb and stupidified and doesnt allow to use wildcards, select the folders to include in the search, etc directly? why the programs list is kind of "hidden" and we have to scroll through it in a tiny space? , sometimes it takes minutes to find that newly installed program and eve worst if you dont remember its name or the name doesnt match the start menu entry...for example "office" appearing as "microsoft office" and being inside the letter M etc and you be searching in the wrong place wasting time... THE LIST OF COMPLAINS IS ENDLESS.most of this could be minimized by customizing and adding 3rd party apps but i just dont want to waste my time...98 and xp came ready with all the goodies we need. the only downside to 98 being lack of ntfs support and lack of usb drivers preventing you from directly connecting a usb pendrive and being ready to go withou installing any software..the downside of xp i really cant tell...i think it was the peak of operating systems..cannot find a single fault to it... its sad that companies are stupidifying users and this new generation even likes that..thats called GASLIGHTING
not sure if trolling or just stupid Wanna know downsides of XP and 98? Lack of security updates, limited support for modern hardware, outdated solutions (especially in operating system architecture) just to name a few. You miss My Computer icon on the Desktop? It's disabled by default, but enabling it is just few click away. And whining about cosmetic differences is just lame. The same goes for "gay folders". You don't have to use them, you can make them disappear from you sight. Or you can do some customization and make good use out of them. Sure they make things easy for casual computer users, but such a tech guru like yourself should have no problem taming them. Wanna quickly run a command? Just press Windows button + R. That's why you can't type commands in the Windows Explorer address bar, BECAUSE THERE'S A FASTER WAY. And yes, you can use wildcards in search boxes in Windows Explorer, so finding that WAV file didn't require bringing up command promt at all, you power user. Last but not least, if your Start Menu doesn't pop up instantly then you have a shit computer. I'm not gonna address all of your complains because I wasted here enough time.
@@rzygopierdolec I think his point was that AT THE TIME, those operating systems were sort of good in a way. I agree that Windows 10 is a much better operating system and much more secure and all that, but I'd also agree with the fact that companies do try to stupidify their users. It seems to me that they try to make things look fancy more than they try to make them good. There's tons of dumb features that can be useful in certain situations but NOT most of the time, and are stupidly enabled be default. Also, as far as I know, since Windows Vista and up, Microsoft decided for whatever reason to include programs that the OS do not need to function, and they can not be uninstalled. Things like Paint 3D, Microsoft News, Microsoft Store, OneDrive etc, sure they're all kinda nice *IF* you're interested in using them. But you are not given a choice on whether you want them or not, and you don't get to uninstall them either. They sit in your corner, taking up resources and end up never getting used. It would be nice if during the installation, you'd get to choose to install ONLY the requirements for the system to work, and then later, you could choose whatever else you'd want as well.
WinXP is actually glorified AF while It's almost useless nowdays, sooo don't be suprised Wooden PC will never handle Win10. You can only check for BIOS updates with Windows 10 support, got that in my old ass PC
Well, for one thing, Edge is miles better than IE, the paint he should've used is Paint 3D as that is the most recent version of Paint. Pretty much this dude was grasping at straws
You know Windows 10 is bad when it forces me to enter a PIN in the setup, and then after I remove it after, bugs me for the next 10 restarts on if I want to make a pin
@@PetetheNorwegian Holy shit I always wanted to play Magic Ball 1 back in 2009 but never found a copy online at the time (hell it was hard finding Magic Ball 2, in the end I found an italian build and dragged the demo's english.txt language file into it)
I obtained the game via GameHouse Games Collection ISO 2005.12! But sadly, Magic Ball 2 does not work on my laptop! Everytime I try to run the game, it suddenly exits.
I tought Windows 10 was bad, but now that "Windows 11" has been launched, which is like 10 but even worse customization, it takes the crown of the worst OS to ever exist.
It is not an issue that W10 is less customizable, i think you might customize it anyway with some tricks or third party software. It is not an issue that modern browsers choose to not clutter the interface with unnecessary buttons, they just move them in the options menu, if you need them they let you add them etc. Most computer users don't care about customization, they just want things to work. If you want to customize move to Linux and keep an older windows installation for games since i heard that W10 can't run every old game, even in compatibility mode (?). Last time I was on a W10 machine I didn't try that. Now come on, GIF wallpapers aren't a problem. Who in their sane mind keep a gif on their backgrounds. Another thing i wanted to tell you regarding the new MS Paint. You clearly can't use this software. All you had to do was select the pencil tool to not have the desired effect. The brush tool was designed, so if you draw something on a photo the lines will be more smooth. If the taskbar gives you issues, you can unpin the shortcuts. I did the same. Although I like the search shortcut, I find it handy. The window's 10 cmd actually is great, because they finally made it possible to resize it beyond half of the screen width. The start menu is an issue, yeah, I don't like it too. The old 98, XP, Win 7 were the peak of design, everything was clear back then. Win 10 start menu is at least "forgivable" I'd say. Next, yeah, now we get to the serious things and one of the reasons why I moved to Linux. Basically, all the telemetry, services and who knows what slow down the whole system and if you don't upgrade your machine often then you are going to feel significant performance decrease in your computing. I'd be glad if someone of you guys with windows 10 installed it on an older machine and tried to search for memory and cpu intensive services via the task manager program and tried to disable them via services ( services.msc ), then told me if it is possible to make it faster without compromising vital system processes. Last time i checked in Win 7 it was possible to disable the Windows Update Service in the services program permanently which many of you guys are pissed about. Although, you won't be notified about new updates and will need to remember to update the machine manually, but i guess many of you aren't idiots who need to be babysitted by their os. Well, overall win10 is a good os and i think that normal users are quite happy having it.
I might make a part 2 where I compare program compatibility between the two, as it's gotten to the point where WINE is more compatible with old applications than Windows 10 itself. I was originally gonna do a comparison between games/software in this video but lmao I couldn't be fucked putting effort in as I didn't think it would get more than 100 views and I already spent the full day doing the video. Hence the magic ball 2 icon on the desktop on W10 as it's incompatible. Also fuck I completely forgot about the pencil in modern mspaint, goes to show how much I've used it. But as for the Windows 10 disabling updates method in services, that doesn't work as it gets re-enabled after like a week so you actually have to use an obscure registry key or if you have Pro, you can use group policy to make the key. I liked how in Windows 7 you can just flat out disable it in control panel and it will never re-enable itself. I agree the Windows 10's CMD is way better than the ones in previous OS's, however Windows 98 allows you to do so much more including the resize, but then again that's probably because Windows 98 literally runs on top of DOS so that's no surprise. Oh yeah I have installed 10 on a potato before, that being my GPD-Win but half of the CPU usage goes to things I can't disable/stop the process like system and compressed memory and svchost.exe like at 3:22 (this was on a i5-3570 in the video!). However Windows Defender used WAY too much CPU usage and I had to use a 3rd party tool to disable just so I could make the OS even usable at all on the GPD-Win. Maybe I should make a video on how to optimise Windows 10 on potatoes! Anyway, the actual reason I dislike Windows 10 is not for the customisation, I just thought it would be a funny comparison in this video. The reason I hate it is like I said at the top of this comment, the backwards compatibility isn't very good, at least with the games I love to play and the performance isn't good either. I wouldn't actually mind switching to a Linux distro myself if the WINE compatibility was a lot better with modern applications. Maybe next time I'll put more effort in the video instead of minor comparisons that not many people care about. Appreciate the criticism and hopefully I can improve in the future.
Wine is the bomb, it's gotten miles better since the 2.0 release. But unfortunately Adobe stuff and such still doesn't run well on it, but that's life.
Kippykip Kippykip So you're running 1.66GB RAM and you are complaining about some 'useless compressed memory' *stealing* your resources? You need a good shell/terminal? Use PowerShell. Need to disable WU? sc.exe config wuauserv start=disabled WINE being more compatible? Well no shit, that's exposing XP-era APIs that MS had marked as obsolete long before Vista. That's why it won't ever work well with 'modern apps' you've mentioned. Nothing is impossible if you're an actual 'power user'. Same with people calling out MS for spying on them after specifically enabling all of these in the OOBE configuration. People will always find something to complain about, but W10 *is* objectively better (although more complex as a whole ecosystem). Get over it.
Win98 tenía mucha innovación que fue descartada con el tiempo para mí 98 y luego XP fueron de los mejores . Lastima en compatibilidad a la actualidad es poca
Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8. Normally, 8 is useless. But 10 is pull down your performance. Altought, I liked Vista. And another bad thing is, it's very simple.
The 98 computer in this video was from a real machine, however it's not the one from my childhood. I built it with old cheap parts on ebay back in 2014 and ever since it's been slowly getting more upgrades like a 5.25" floppy drive etc. I'm trying to give it an old aesthetic and be a potato at the same time. I never had Toy Story 2 on PC though, only PS1. The game I was talking about was Magic Ball 2 which is my favourite breakout game from my childhood. But it doesn't work properly on Windows 10. The 2004 release just doesn't work and the screen just freezes white, and the 2005+ releases just don't have any sound whatsoever. Ironically they work both fine in WINE (Run Windows programs in Linux)
Windows 10 does execute quadronoid - whitescreen, background-music and freeze up. When xp executes the game on a not even 1/40 that strong pc it works just fine.
+Xasmanius Völk Yeah from my topic text file i used for the video, I had written a list of games broken on 10 Red alert 2 Doom95 Age Of Empires Magic Ball 2 Rainbow Six Blip and Blop Unreal Death worm Half Life 1 - cd ver But I never got around actually testing them in the video
It's just that people have been convinced like a herd of sheep that the old flat 2D design is modern, and the 3D modern skeuomorphic design is old and outdated, and people believe this nonsense.
@@defender3285 I liked the skeuomorphic design of 98 or 2000, but I always disabled shadows and other fancy stuff. The only thing I prefer in win10+ are the new taskbar icons for the speaker etc. But otherwise w2k is way more pleasing, especially since it allowed customization. you can't call the minimum of customization allowed in w11 or w12 customization.
The startup does not say 10 maybe because now Windows is considered software as a Service, only an evolving Windows. I believe you can't have animated GIF in background because in 98 IE was used to render background (you could set a web page as background and who remember the channel bar? IE it was also used to render emaila in Outlook Express), now it is not used for desktop background for security reason.
Windows XP Professional x64 is a bit unstable than XP itself and lacks of drivers, so the XP 32-bit was much more popular, however its was able to read GPT drives unlike 32-bit XP.
