do people actually miss this ugly ass shit
They think they miss the product but they just miss the time when it was around
>>107095291Yes.
I don't miss physical spinning discs. Jesus fucking christ those things are so fucking slow. I don't miss windows vista either, or xp. I do miss windows 2000 UI experience.
>>107095291yes. Just like you miss eating detergent or whatever the fuck you were doing in 2016.
>>107095291No, I hated it even at that time. But Windows 98 aesthetic? That's SOVL
>>107095291nope, gotta resemble a car stereo
For me, it's K-Jöfol
>>107095295I miss both, the good old days but also how technology was better because it was still made to work, by relatively competent people who tried their best, not by retarded indians in order to be the cheapest possible shit as it is today and filled with political brainwashing.I used XP with the classic theme though, like practically everybody back then, nobody liked the blue and green default theme.This WMP skin looks weird by today's standards but it has a strong 1997-2003 era vibe.
>>107095291picrel looks like shit people used the metallic gray/blue one
>>107095291People don't miss how it looked like, they miss how it worked, you didn't have to jump through hoops to get something that looked 'cool' at the time, you could swap from that to 50 different other themes and it just worked, it was an insane concept that your PC could do that.
>>107095291I still think this was peak design, no frills no questions about what is a button or what is a textbox, just simple functionality.
where'd my websites go?
>>107095314I have a NAS so I still have spinning disks. And I love the sound of HDs. Ot helps me sleep at night.
>>107095631Windows XP still had the classic theme. Modern windows tries to look like Apple.
>>107095291its more about all functionality being displayed all in one panel instead of trying to google where every setting is for every app
>>107095662Would you say VLC has this aesthetic?
>>107095291It's called style and you wouldn't recognize it if it walked up and raped your pooper
>>107095291no, they miss the real shit
>>107095343SOVL
>>107095631>how it looked likehow it LOOKED GODDAMMIT THERE IS NO "like" AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE YOU FUCKING FASCIST IT'S "how it looked" or "what it looked like" not "how it looked like" THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>107095343>>107095768based, I still use winamp
I don't, and neither does my crew.
>>107095295Both that and the visuals. It's not rocket science, not "had to be there" thing. You show XP weeb wallpaper to zoomers and they shit themselves too because it just says soul. And while visuals are achievable, the old mood sadly isn't entirety. Still flat shit isn't what most people want, it's just forced on us.
>>107095673Yeah but as OS disk it's a fucking pain.
>>107095291Needs some Flowey animations, then it's prime.
>>107095291Yes, take me backhttps://youtube.com/shorts/E0dEwuwIhgg?si=MLYnPUMgQToWufZC
>>107095295I miss when I didn't have neurodegenerative blindness.
>>107095291not this one, i miss the alienware ones more even though i never had oneother than this one invader was cool
>>107095291sovl
>>107095662I really liked the windows 95 and 98 aesthetic, I liked DOS Loved playin duke and doomWindows XP and 7 were ugly to me dough, I don't feel nostalgic for it at all, windows 7 was especially bad and buggyWindows 8.1 and 10 are good too, good performance and tiny footprint while remaining powerful, i can easily fit my windows 10 on a ram disk
>>107095808shut up firstie
>>107095343using it right now for weeb music
>>107095291Old iTunes was peak music player interface design.
>>107095291ughhhhhh SOVL THREAD
>>107096108souless
Elder millennial here, yeah I miss it.Today's UIs are dull and without soul.What was wrong with aero though? It was still profession and looked good. Now UIs just look like a white piece of paper.
>>107095291no, windows has only gotten better, and anyone who disagrees has their head up their ass
>>107095291Why would anyone miss Windows Media Player
>>107095291windows xp platinum theme
>>107095291https://audacious-media-player.org/https://skins.webamp.org/all you need
>>107095343>>107095768>>107095820>>107096072yeah baby
>>107095291Win9x GUI was peak windows, everything after is enshitification
>>107095295Nah, I don't miss those times. 9/11, the Iraq War, and the whole creationists vs gaytheists shit was not fun. Windows XP looked nice, however.
>>107095291>ugly ass shit>he didn't live in peak MTV
>>107095291no one used this back in the day. They used winamp. This was Microsoft's attempt to seem cool.
>>107101965Creationists vs gaytheists is preferable to the shit we have now in politics
>>107095291off thyself zoomer faggot, you will never know SOVL
>>107095427>XP with the classic themethis
>>107096264>neroholy sovl i used this to burn my first ps2 games
>I'M BREATHING INNNNN>I'M BREATHING OUUUUUThttps://youtu.be/CzyeBTjRg6A
>>107095291they miss when tech did most of its job, wasn't invasive spyware and everything wasn't total shit all the time.
>>107101695>not using Good ol' Winamp color scheme
>>107095291It was fun. Technology was fun in that time, and the world was more fun too. It embodies the spirit of the age.
>>107095662Function can have a form of its own, old Windows UI had it.
>>107095820damn, that silver aesthetics!>>107101695I believe I used this as well.
