Really good post about the things Windows Vista did well, and why they became necessary, especially for later versions like 7.

19-Jähriges (!) Notebook HP Compaq 6710b läuft wunderbar mit Debian 13 KDE - einfach cool 😎

(Da war noch Windows Vista drauf 😂…)

Unpopular opinion: Windows Vista was decent, but Aero UI was indeed crap.

And STFU, this is my legal DVD I got back then:

@bastian_S wie kannst du es wagen auf dieses mit einem glorreichen #WindowsVista Aufkleber ausgestattete Prachtstück ein #WindowsXP zu installieren?
Blasphemie!
Das werden wir nicht ungesühnt lassen. #WindowsVistaUltras, vereinigt euch!

2007. A $2,500 pocket PC. Now worth... $200. Still runs Resident Evil. 🧟🎮

Sony UX58. 4.5" touchscreen. Slide-out QWERTY. 484 grams. Intel single-core. Windows Vista (ugh). Upgrade to XP or Win7 to survive.

Hardcore modders swapped in dual-core CPUs, extra fans, bigger SSDs.

Then—Resident Evil 2 remastered. On your palm.

Not e-waste. Digital treasure.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but my current #KDE setup is very similar to how I used to have my #WindowsVista desktop.

It's so pretty. Also, Vista was the last good version of Windows, it just had a rough start. 7 was just an ugly version of Vista. Don't at me.

For those who love MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it has been revived! This site has been around for awhile, but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know about it and also for those who are tired of modern messaging programs which are often inaccessible. Note that you must create a free account with them and cannot use an old hotmail address or whatever you used with Microsoft's version. This is the same software, but modified to work on their servers. For that reason, even if you have the original on your computer, you should install theirs. There is a way to patch an existing one, but why go through all the trouble? Escargot works on Windows, from XP through 11, and it is completely accessible with NVDA, minus the games, which never worked with screen readers anyway. There are IOS and Android versions, but I have no idea how well they work in general, let alone with VoiceOver or Talkback. If you wish to add me, I am [email protected]. The site can be found here.

Speed test pits six generations of #Microsoft #Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in unscientific comparison
Six Lenovo ThinkPad X220 laptops were used in the test, featuring a Core i5-2520M CPU and 8GB of RAM, with a 256GB hard drive — running the latest versions of #WindowsXP, #WindowsVista, #Windows7, #Windows8.1, #Windows10, and #Windows11.

unscientific but still interesting to see bloat!

Even je tech-frustraties in perspectief plaatsen? 🤯

Op deze dag in 2007 werd Windows Vista wereldwijd gelanceerd. Weet je nog, die eindeloze stroom aan pop-ups? 😉

Wat was jouw grootste Vista-ergernis?

#WindowsVista #TechThrowback

As many workers I must use #Windows daily, useless to say that it essentially a bag of crap...

I personally stopped to use it since 2009, I really forgot how bad can be for other tasks until my son decided to play videogames on its laptop...

While I am totally against it we allowed him because the excellent grades, so basically for school he must use #Devuan / #Linux and to play videogames he reboots in Windows and steam, although he plays mostly #roblox (🤢) with his friends.

And in Windows happens whatever craziest thing... And I am surprised how shitty can be Windows to do anything from graphics to play...

But even more surprise how videogamers cheat about Windows... It is the shittiest OS evere but they want to looks like software expert so they confuse high-end hardware with optimization, only because you need 3/4 of it only to run Windows smooth...

On any other OS but not the commercial ones, including: #Android; #ChromeOS; #MacOS; you get better performance.

I dare to say the #enshittification started with #WindowsVista...
