UI people think everything is a phone now. windows 12 will have all the UI hidden off the edges of the screen and only accessible by swiping

my parents ancient pc died last week and i had to throw something together for them quickly, which wasn't compatible with 7 so i had to install windows 10 gently caress me it's just an endless list of tiny annoyances. it's like they deliberately went out of their way to set up everything wrong live traffic updates and weather reports in the taskbar. who greenlights this poo poo?

i stole six new "Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1A"'s from work 15+ years ago. Currently still only on the second one, so I'm probably good for mice until 2060-ish.

mystes posted:Microsoft forcing people to replace their computers when they don't want to by setting arbitrary hardware requirements for new versions of windows has also got to be one of the biggest generators of ewaste in the world. it used to be the opposite - claiming new versions would run on much older hardware than was really practical, mainly so that OEMs could dump their stock of shitbox PCs quickly before anyone realised that Vista did not actually run very well on a P4 Celeron with 512MB

Silver Alicorn posted:vista was so slow on minimum spec machines you had companies developing quick start OSes you could load into instead so you could use your drat computer without waiting 7 minutes for it to boot MS deliberately lowered the official minimum specs for vista so that OEMs could offload their remaining stocks of shitbox supermarket PCs and claim they were "vista ready"

mystes posted:I don't think vista was actually that bad. It just seemed bad because they started preventing software from doing dumb poo poo with uac and iirc changed the driver model or something and most of the compatibility issues weren't fixed until Windows 7 but Windows vista and Windows 7 themselves weren't actually as different as people say they are people absolutely poo poo themselves over UAC, and all the overclocker/tweaker morons who think they need to micromanage the OS internals threw tantrums because vista started reporting free vs used ram differently

euroshopper posted:also ME was decent if you had up-to-date drivers. a lot of ppl installed it on their 200 mhz pentiums which would slow them down to a crawl, mainly due to the unprecedented amount of active desktop html bloat ME feels like it was the first real era of OEM bundled shitware. yeah 95/98 would get a few ISP free trials pre-installed, maybe a time-limited demo of some piece of crap MS Works knockoff. But ME was when it started being filled with auto-starting crap like printer ink monitors and scanner/fax wizards and browser toolbars and anti-virus nagware...

That loving Sned posted:How did Windows XP manage to avoid being a complete disaster? You’d think that changing from DOS to NT would bump up the minimum requirements and make a lot of software and hardware incompatible, but if that was common then people would still be bitter about it. All those problems happened with Vista, despite it being less of an overhaul. 2000 was the one that made the switch from DOS/9X to NT. and the requirement's did go up. 98 was usable with 16 or 32MB, 2000 really needed 64 minimum.
