@@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.
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.
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.
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.

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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Fun fact about Win 98: You can use a web page, or HTML code as your wallpaper AND as the background of files in File Explorer. It doesn't stop there, you can also interact with the HTML links and code when it's set as your wallpaper or File Explorer background. Learned that one from browsing my Windows 98 startup guide. Remember when Microsoft used to be FUN.
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.
SidedVirus Art & Animation cuz Linux is shit. Like if you had disabled all fun-bringing components from your xp. No games from the store work and so on. Thats why. On my new pc with hdd 10 takes 2secs and xp is like waking my phone from standby(not even a quarter of a second).
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!
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
Windows 98 was the best year for pc. I wish they made a Windows 98 theme update for windows 10 with all the features of windows 98 but still windows 10 underneath.
in windows 10, you have to get an external program just for animated wallpapers. bless the people that provide these programs and for cheap too, but do i really have to use an external program for an animated wallpaper, something that should be a default feature?
Windows XP has all those Windows 98 features and even more things that can be customized. XP visual styles let you customize the look and feel of Windows better than in any other version, before or after. Also you get to choose between different visual effects like Windows 9x style effects of things moving in and out and Windows 2000 style effects of things fading in or out. Windows XP is customizable as hell and has all of the features in this video shown for Windows 98 SE. The Windows XP PowerToys make it even more customizable, with Tweak UI and the rest of them. Oh yeah and the built-in DOS box in Windows XP can be upgraded using something called VDMSound so that it supports more features including sound for DOS games. And there is a POSReady hack that lets you get loads more security updates for Windows XP after official support ended. Windows has been total shit since Vista came out, Windows 7 didn’t fix it, then Windows 8 made it even worse with Metro, and Windows 10 didn’t fix that, as your video demonstrates the crappy Metro interface of Windows 8 thru 10 so well.
I've still found XP's DOS support not too great, but hey it's probably the most stable and compatible OS I've used in my life. Hence why I have my retro machine dual booted with 98 (mainly for DOS) and XP. By the way there's something cool for Windows 98 called "Revolutions Pack" that adds visual styles to 98SE and other stuff like desktop icon shadows and show window contents while dragging.
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
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
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.
Here's mine: 1 - Windows 7 (duh, it's great) 2 - Windows Vista 3 - Windows 8 (shocker) 4 - Windows XP 5 - Windows 98/98SE 6 - Windows 10 7 - Windows 2000 8 - Windows NT 4 9 - Windows 95 10 - Windows NT 3.x 11 - Windows ME (it's pretty bad) I know I left out 1.0, 2.x, and 3.x, but I don't really classify those as true Windows operating systems, seeing as they were simply graphical shells for MS-DOS.
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.
I'm talking about in Windows 7 (and earlier) you got everything in the box and in Windows 8 onwards you have to download third party programs to make it behave like earlier versions. And a regular consumer probably isn't that aware you can do that.

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.

I liked how you have actual hardware for windows 98 instead of a vm
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.

@@Kippykip I wonder if someone is gonna make a remake of win98 someday
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).
mine too
You could set Win 2000 GUI even in XP and Win 2000 had very long boot time compared to Win 98 or Win ME.
@@Pidalin yeah but XP and 2000 are the best because they had much features for their time
@@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.

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.
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.
Wait... you can have animated wallpapers?
WAIT... YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE THE ENTIRE OS?
The older, the better

@Some Dude with pencils YES.
You can also customize window colours and customize cmd.exe via right button and properties. But yeah, I like that old classic look on 98
You are not alone. I also have still 100% disk usage...
WTF Microsoft?!
Yeah it's the same on my tweaked GPD-Win too, I turned off most of the useless services as I could but I still don't understand why it's so high.
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
Its called getting off that old slow HDD.
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.
Też tak mam i mnie to wkurza
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
Retro Salah Thats why Windows 8 is my favorite OS (I know everyone hates it,but I love it)
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.
i feel like a little baby for not knowing that you could have a gif wallpaper on windows 98. i'm downgrading NOW.

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
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.
dude stop.... This is a joke and you took it way too serious vistafan...
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.
Kippykip- Yes, I agree. I'll probably start looking into Linux as well once Windows 7's third party support begins to wane.
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....

Windows 98 SE / Windows XP were my favourites. I wish they were upgraded "under the hood" for modern day use.
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.
I don't use the default theme. Customization is the key.
There's probably a theme patch for it by now, I used to get XP themes etc for Windows 7 years ago.
I could send you what my 10 theme looks like. Hmu on Discord or some shit, Skylius#4857
I honestly prefer the old style over the new one.
I wish we had full customization on Windows 10... :(
8.1 was the one that started 10's bullshit though

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.
Windows XP had the same working gif wallpaper since windows 98, but vista has stopped gif wallpapers
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.
Kippykip whats the gif image at 2:02?
Its windows xp
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.

Running Windows 98 as my only OS. Thanks for the great video, showed me a couple of things I didn't know like animated gifs for desktop
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.
the only problem with that . For a Windows 98 remasterd 2019 edition i would pay hundreds of dollars , or xp or 7 . but they will never do this, sadly

Despite the swearing I still think this is one of the funniest "Windows 10 sucks" videos out there!
Yeah this video was totally not biased at all lmfao
Fun fact about Win 98: You can use a web page, or HTML code as your wallpaper AND as the background of files in File Explorer. It doesn't stop there, you can also interact with the HTML links and code when it's set as your wallpaper or File Explorer background.
Learned that one from browsing my Windows 98 startup guide.
Remember when Microsoft used to be FUN.
That's true😃 Your made me remember it when I didn't have internet but only using Win98 and discovering all its potential.
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.]
Windows 8 was a crap. but 8.1 is pretty good ;)
Totally agree that Win 7 was best. But at least Win 10 was better then Win 8.
I´m with you on that point.
@@mattjw16 still it went downhill smh
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.
Startup:
Windows 98: You can this change on MS PAINT
Windows 10: You haven't a SSD? HAHA
Windows 10 starts up in ~6 seconds on my old Lenovo HDD. Antergos Linux takes ~15.
SidedVirus Art & Animation I also have Lenovo, which model?
Lenovo X220 Tablet Laptop.
Funnily enough my Windows 98 build boots faster than my main Windows 7 computer, although neither are using SSD's
SidedVirus Art & Animation cuz Linux is shit. Like if you had disabled all fun-bringing components from your xp. No games from the store work and so on. Thats why. On my new pc with hdd 10 takes 2secs and xp is like waking my phone from standby(not even a quarter of a second).
I wish they made a windows 98 2018 edition
Basically like a windows 10 in a 98s design
Heliios Then they would remove all these features
At least we have theme patchers and Classic Start Menu.
You can customize cmd in win 10 by right clicking the top, propperties, and you’ve got a lot. Even transparency!

yeah
The anti-aliasing in modern Microsoft Paint is infuriating.
@@oldcommodoremediacorporati3005 its alot smoother tbh
anti-aliasing must be performed by drawing on a larger canvas then downscaling it
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.
your right and i have both win 10 and win xp so im lucky
Who tf upgrades to win 10 on a 14yr old pc
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!
Masterpiece, man!
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.
Holy shit u guys are writing bibles
I am offended when you compare gay with that useless folder :v
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
IE 5 has a surprisingly touch-friendly user interface, Microsoft were 15 years ahead of their time with that one.
The moment you realize that he’s actually right
Windows 98 was the best year for pc. I wish they made a Windows 98 theme update for windows 10 with all the features of windows 98 but still windows 10 underneath.
in windows 10, you have to get an external program just for animated wallpapers. bless the people that provide these programs and for cheap too, but do i really have to use an external program for an animated wallpaper, something that should be a default feature?
Why does no one pay attention to how good windows 2000 is? It’s sooooo good!
I loved 2000, other than DOS support, but then XP took over very quickly.
its kinda sad, really
also, im streaming right now so...
Because windows 98 is overrated
+Owl one Gaming It is?
Kippykip a lot of people seem to think it’s the best although Windows 95 and 2000 are almost the same thing as 98
spoiler:
sure older windows wins {its more comfort}
Ink Hedgehog how about Windows 10? The best?
@GTTOP With RA2 Because its not compatible?
When I read "x is better than y" I hope to see at least a benchmark
La belleza en el arranque de Windows 98 "mode com codepage" y la bandera de Windows 98! Tenian arte
Windows XP has all those Windows 98 features and even more things that can be customized. XP visual styles let you customize the look and feel of Windows better than in any other version, before or after. Also you get to choose between different visual effects like Windows 9x style effects of things moving in and out and Windows 2000 style effects of things fading in or out. Windows XP is customizable as hell and has all of the features in this video shown for Windows 98 SE. The Windows XP PowerToys make it even more customizable, with Tweak UI and the rest of them. Oh yeah and the built-in DOS box in Windows XP can be upgraded using something called VDMSound so that it supports more features including sound for DOS games. And there is a POSReady hack that lets you get loads more security updates for Windows XP after official support ended. Windows has been total shit since Vista came out, Windows 7 didn’t fix it, then Windows 8 made it even worse with Metro, and Windows 10 didn’t fix that, as your video demonstrates the crappy Metro interface of Windows 8 thru 10 so well.
I've still found XP's DOS support not too great, but hey it's probably the most stable and compatible OS I've used in my life. Hence why I have my retro machine dual booted with 98 (mainly for DOS) and XP.
By the way there's something cool for Windows 98 called "Revolutions Pack" that adds visual styles to 98SE and other stuff like desktop icon shadows and show window contents while dragging.
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
Ikr right Windows 7 start-up sound was the shit
On windows 10 if you go under settings. You can turn on the startup sound but it’s the windows 7 startup sound
FubarMike cuz their broke as fuck
I heard the "minimalist" argument a lot. That doesn't mean the OS don't sucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@matthewsorensen4303 The 7 sound is the exact same as the Vista sound.
Nice one, I still remember this video
Now try Windows XP vs Windows 11
Who notice the Tf2 spy music?
I sure did
Everyone that played tf2
It gave the video an instant like :-)
That could be any one of us
I think both Windows 98 and Windows 10 are awesome in their own ways.
Damn, you're right
Eldar, Windows 10 isn't actually good for games. Windows 7 was better for them.
crazycoollady1999 Agree
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
There are dinosaur cursors...
SIGN ME IN!
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.
There is also the free organisation of files in the XP explorer and the folders background
Best OS from Microsoft list :
1)Windows 7
2)Windows XP
3)Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)
4)Windows 98 FE (First Edition)
5)Windows *95*
Correction:
1) Windows 7
2) Windows 10
3) Windows XP
4) Windows Vista
5) Windows 8
6+) All the other versions from newest to oldest.
Wind Fave
You also forgot 5 other versions of Windows.
Here's mine:
1 - Windows 7 (duh, it's great)
2 - Windows Vista
3 - Windows 8 (shocker)
4 - Windows XP
5 - Windows 98/98SE
6 - Windows 10
7 - Windows 2000
8 - Windows NT 4
9 - Windows 95
10 - Windows NT 3.x
11 - Windows ME (it's pretty bad)
I know I left out 1.0, 2.x, and 3.x, but I don't really classify those as true Windows operating systems, seeing as they were simply graphical shells for MS-DOS.
not really a correction it's your opinion on which is your favorite
Matthew W. bro he meant only top 5 -_-
90s-2000s pc is better than now, because 90s guy is smart
WIRAWAN gui
those pcs would be horrible to todays. At that time you couldn't even get a gt 710!
Maxhunter 5353 you're a fucking idiot
Hando Sidorov lol hes a gpu-hipster
The only thing, older PCs were worse is power-consumption
What are those gif wallpapers? I really love the color picker one
I know that you've never use Windows 98SE before, young man.
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.
Huh? That happens to me a few times with default cursor, though now it's super rare.
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.
Oh that is y my cursor disappears I should make it default or else if I need to get it back I need to unplug and plug it back
happens to me too :/
The last customizable Windows was Windows 7. AND IT IS THE BEST VERSION
Plexi Guitar Hero If you have knowledge about computer systems, you know that you can nearly change everything
I'm talking about in Windows 7 (and earlier) you got everything in the box and in Windows 8 onwards you have to download third party programs to make it behave like earlier versions. And a regular consumer probably isn't that aware you can do that.
Plexi Guitar Hero YES WINDOWS 7 IS THE BEST
windows 7 was a lag dog and vista was way worse
YourTechGuy Windows 7 wasn’t a lag dog, your life is.
Fun fact: You can customize command prompt on Windows 10 by right-clicking on the title bar!
He needs to notice this comment
