ok if you've been using Windows for a while which one has been your favorite. bc i just got hit with a huge nostalgia brick for the os of my youth

if you don't have a favorite you can pick which one sucked the least :) feel free to rant and bitch in the tags if you want to, we're all haters at the end of the day <3

Windows OS's As Humans (my personal interpretation)

Please note that the Windows Humanized series is not associated with nor intended to be conflated with the already-existing OS Idol Win-Chan series. These characters are my own personal humanized designs, independent of any pre-existing series. I sincerely apologize for any confusion that this post brought.

I'm really really starting to miss windows 8 I'm not even gonna lie

THIS SHIT??? THIS WAS GOOD

It tiptoed just the right balance between late 2000s frutiger aero and 2010s bland corporate minimalism. It was sleek and blocky but it was still full of color and personality.

Windows 10 was technically an improvement on every level but I can't help but feel like it was the downfall of actually pretty user interfaces

An unfortunate moment in time.

Three Decades of Windows Ads (Video, 1985-2015)

You can watch it here.

Here's a Windows 2000 ad it's missing, and here's a Windows ME one.

HELP!

For anyone with extensive CPU knowledge, please please please I am reaching out.

I have a Windows 8 (sue me), and I got it used from a guy that rebuilds laptops. When I start it up, it will start, open to the login page, and once it unlocks, the entire display is dark. It's on, because the light is still coming from the screen, but there's no display whatsoever.

I've tried letting it die and recharging it, turning it on and off, and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, but so far I've had no luck.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

so I have a very old acer laptop that runs windows 8 and sony vegas pro 10. I know the webcam quality is bad anyway, but I was wondering if there was any way to change the format of recorded videos so they save as mp4 instead of avi in both the laptop'sbuilt-in camera app and sony vegas' vidcap? or are they forever avi?

me immediately running away from someone as soon as they say they unironically liked windows 8/8.1 (jokes aside i really dislike windows 8 but respect others opinions, i don’t actually do this i just think it’s a bad take as an OS nerd😭)
