Moderators hazelnut Posted March 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 3, 2011 I thought this was really interesting, hopefully some of you may as well. Someone did upgrades through the versions of Windows up to Windows 7 (over 20 years!) http://www.neowin.net/news/nostalgia-upgrading-through-every-version-of-windows-1-to-7 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Awesome! That really takes me back! The earliest OS I can remember using on my parent's home PC growing up is MS-DOS 6.11. Dell Latitude D600 Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I watched that earlier to today on Giz. I loved how backward compatible Windows was! Although, its time Windows 8 takes things to whole new level. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The comments are gold "He forgot windows ME" "I wish I could forget windows ME" I had ME and 2000, ME was just awful. I vaguely remember using both windows 3.1 and windows NT Workstation 4.0 as a kid.. but I didn't get into computers too much until Windows 98 (and really, xp) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2011 I loved how backward compatible Windows was! Although, its time Windows 8 takes things to whole new level. Especially the killing off of any old legacy icons that just don't fit in anymore, they can bury them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 People our age start off with XP, innit? I've been using the computer from quite a young age.. I still have 300 games for DOS and 300 Games for Windows 3.1 as well as The Microsoft Entertainment Pack! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I watched that video today at another site. (I had no innertubes the previous 24 hours. ) It was interesting. But what was more interesting was trying to guess the guys' nationality. He sounded like a mix between Swedish, Scots, and Brazilian. And OMG GET A NEW DESKTOP! Hot pink. And a blistering red title bar. Can you imagine staring at that for 23 years? Ouch. I noticed he didn't mention Windows ME, made me chuckle.

Winapp2.ini Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 You can't upgrade from Windows 2000 to ME, or from ME to 2000, so it made more sense to use 2000 since it's got an NT codebase, therefore XP is it's big brother. It's mentioned quite a lot in the comments (Also the codebase for ME is 9x and 2000 is nt, which leads to some problems even if you do a side-grade) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I had ME for a year or so before XP and ughhhhh it was hell. (98 SP2 was brilliant comparatively.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted March 22, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's priceless. Our first PC was second hand with Windows '95, bought cheap from a mate for my daughter to do her university stuff (times were hard). I cannot find the appropriate words to describe how slow this machine was. You could press "print", go spend a few hours shopping, maybe have a meal, and when you got back it would still be initialising the printer. Not the fault of Win'95, but the s**t computer this "ex" mate sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
