>>107103140fuck me, I forgot the links:https://xcancel.com/XenoPanther/status/1983477707968291075files: https://archive.org/details/Win7-69mblist of files:http://pastebin.com/raw/RNbTCUG6
surely someone could turn this into some kinda Windows "daemon"
>>107103161>>107103140direct downloadhttps://ia902800.us.archive.org/2/items/Win7-69mb/Windows%207%20%2869MB%29.7z>>107103225would be nice
>>107103140What are the system requirements? Does the entire baseline win32 api work?Users, registry, processes, tokens, etc.? I assume OpenGL doesn't work, but what about WinGDI?
>>107103267Well, the aithor literally says that almost nothing works, so try it yourself, I guess.I mean, it's a few MB. Installing VMware will take longer tham running this.
>>107103140This is a classic VirtualBox escape exploit virus. Make sure to NOT run this or at least make sure your VBox is up to date
>>107103140Amazing considering the base image is over 16GB, will have a look later.
>>107103861immediate BSOD
>>107103140it only needs firefox and it's perfect
I am so surprised that the file explorer works and it looks really good too.though it seems to open a new window every time a directory is opened, just like windows 95 did.
>>107103849this shit reeks
>>107104253that's impressivedo any disk utilities work, like diskmgmt or chkdsk?
>>107103849hahahahahaha
>>107104253>I am so surprised that the file explorer worksAre you not surprised that the license check works?
>>107104311right click and manage results in this.there is no cmd.exe so I cannot test with chkdsk
>>107104401lel no notepad ...
>>107103849>VirtualBox escape exploit virusprove italso, vmdk/vmx files are for vmware
>>107104564holy kek
There is not much that can be done without at least common dialogs dll, can't even compile a basic editor. I was hoping vim would work but it also depends on that
>>107104253someone port explorer to troonix
>>107103849got 'em
>>107104678>.doc files are for office
I got a text editor to work on it, open/save dialogs don't work thoughI also tried to get openjdk to work on it but it requires winsock2.dll or something like that. Sadly.
Too bad windows is so opaque in how it operates that you are left with a useless monolith if you actually want to daily drive this. People do the same shit with linux and it's trivial to as a user add functionality until you are more bloated than noobuntu
>>107106509I love this, because I personally always liked NT kernel, but I hated windows bloat.I wonder if I can make a bootable USB running this.
Ok, I can daily drive this now.
>>107106859install busybox from https://frippery.org/busybox/ (exe under Downloads) and you have a whole set of system tools :D
>>107103140>>107103267>>107103961>>107104148>>107106509>>107106257>>107103161>>107103225Could you help me stroke my cock?
>>107106870I am currently looking for a terminal that is written in win32 api, doesn't seem like there is any though.I hate the cmd.exe because it cannot resize horizontally
>>107106921what about konsole?*searches for downloads*https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/utilities/konsole/master/windows/*check filesize*>89MLMAOthere are a bunch of terminals for windows here:https://github.com/cdleon/awesome-terminals?tab=readme-ov-file#windowshttps://mspoweruser.com/best-terminal-for-windows/
>>107107002I figured out that prior to windows 10, there is no support for pseudo terminals, so you are basically stuck with the "hardcoded" conhost since resding from stdin depends on ReadConsoleW which is in kernel32.dll. so until we get source code for win7, there is probably nothing to be done.
>>107107611>until we get source code for win7we do have source code for vista though?>there is probably nothing to be done.how come you were ablr to run GVIM?
>>107103140Reminds me of that 4MB Windows 95:https://archive.org/details/micro95_3mb
>>107107948I copied the commondlg dll and netapi32 dll to the gvim directory.
>>107103140>69.0mbnice
>>107104564use case for notepad?
>>107108138I see.I don't know much about windows or system programming, so I don't really know why you wouldn't be able to run busybox (or any other cli interpreter/utilities) without cmd... but that fucking sucks
Great technical achievement.Kudos.

>>107103140>x86so basically, useless.
>>107109000baitalso, checked
>>107103140use case?
>>107103140put some tape on it, secure it and make modern software work in it and there we have it, troonix and wintard killed.
>>107103140Windows XP was peak. Windows 7 was just the beginning of the modernist sovlless slop.
>>107106921program your own terminal on it, wont be hard
>>107103140Can you Frankenstein FreeDOS and this together?>>107106402
>>107103140>securityfagshuh, that's a virus nightmare. Win7 is virus trash now
>>107104253Couldn't afford a fully functioning font?
>>107103267it's probably exactly enough to run explorer
i remember doing a 60MiB win2k but that was basically full-featured
>>107109990can’t get a virus by going online if networking is permanently broken anonactually now that I think about it, how many viruses would actually work on this completely butchered OS
>>107108400You can run them, there just isn't a terminal to display shit. One could use a normal handle for stdin and stdout, but then things like colors won't work because it would depend on win32 console api
Now do windows 10
>>107110734I would rather do your mom
>>107109991the list of files is here >>107103161
>i stripped everything out and released a broken version of an outdated windows that functions even less than a [GR15] linux distro made for a memewow epic
>>107106921Isn't that a conhost issue? The same problem doesn't happen on newer windows version.I need to try it, but you might be able to use a newer conhost, if it even is being developed... I got used to the windows terminal and I use it a lot on windows 11 paired with powershell, so I'm not even sure if "conhost" is even a thing anymore.No harm in trying it. See if you can run modern conhost on it (again, I'm probably talking out of my ass, no idea how it'll work, if at all).
>>107103140no, it needs to just work, otherwise it's soulesssovl is required
I'm so glad that my autism doesn't make me waste tons of time on proprietary technologysay about freetards what you want but at least they aren't cucks
