My first computer was a Dell P120 while in engineering college and I bought the academic discount of visual studio c++ 6.0. Back then the engineering computer labs had both Unix workstations and NT workstations. I remember the frustration of pre-ISO C++ platform dependencies. Those were the days. Visual Studio would basically take over your system and interleave itself with the OS such that you would have to reinstall the OS from scratch if something went wrong. Very intrusive. And we just got visual studio as a native x64 binary, what 25 years later! Intrusive for sure.
i loved the old style icons

Did you remember kids use Visual Studio 6.0 in Windows 98 in Japanese, Canada, USA & Vietnamese school ?
