>>107672217>2004Want me to keep going? Know for a fact there's magazines that use "app" from even the 90's.
>>107672079>app installs to %appdata%
>>107672207>>107672217Yep.I was gonna do it myself to prove my point. Thanks for saving me the trouble. /g/ has been infested with Zoomers I swear. Programs were apps until Apple stole the term for the App Store.
>>107672094>>107672108>>107672188>>107672208Here in the real world, "killer app" - meaning a program that is so good you want to switch to the platform it runs on (and as an aside, Linux has lacked for 35 years) has been a saying since the 1980s.Sorry to hurt your fee-fees worse than a Private Number, stupid zoomers. Go cry under your bed until your participation trophy arrives.

>>107672249Heh, reminds me of OS/2: it had no killer apps either. Yet managed to get 10% of the market in the early to mid 90s.When you think about it, Loonux is a double-failure.

>>107672297>Heh, reminds me of OS/2: it had no killer apps either. Yet managed to get 10% of the market in the early to mid 90s.OS/2 supported DOS and Win16 apps out of the box and later also got Win32 app support.
>>107672311Sar you are poojecting app is mandatory please use desi friendly language sar
>>107672297I would argue OS/2 did have a "killer app", though it wasn't an app per se: it really DID have a better DOS than DOS, and was a better Windows than Windows (at least until Windows 95 dropped).If you were running tons of hetrogenous software, and wanted to multitask between them (remember, on DOS-based Windows - even 9x - in practice, background programs ground to a halt), it wasn't until NT could run on affordable hardware that it was a viable alternative.
>>107672347No one used that crap poojoo lol
>>107672354OS/2 was my main OS for years on my laptop, when it was still relevant.
>>107672319>>107672347Fair enough. Though I would point out that 16-bit Windows support wasn't out of the box: you needed a "Blue Spine" version until Warp 4.Further, it only emulated a subset of 386 Enhanced mode: the biggest issue this caused was, if your app required a 32-bit VxD, which was more common than you think, it wouldn't run.
>>107672354I ran OS/2 daily from before your idiot parents were born (1992) to before your idiot parents were born (1997).
>>107672384It could use an existing copy of Windows 3.x on your machine. Most simply pirated Windows rather than paying IBM Tax for blue spine - I recall blue spine was almost $100 more expensive.
>>107672384>Though I would point out that 16-bit Windows support wasn't out of the box: you needed a "Blue Spine" version until Warp 4.Well, it was out of the box in Warp 4.Odin also gave Win32 support.

>>107672079If the app need online account, is it a game? You respond is "no", the app creator is dumb. I can't understand why all things now you need account, i don't want! I wanna did my things out of a great corporation look to me.
>>107672402>OdinThat's not a name I've heard in a LONG time. I remember playing with it when it was still called PE2LX. It was just built on top of the Open32 API, but I hear that changed later.
>>107672464PE2LX was just the permanent binary converter and part of Odin, while PE was the dynamic on-the-fly method like Wine.
>>107672487In the beginning, PE2LX was all that was available. The in-place PE loader came later, after I'd lost interest. I'm talking 1998 here, back before it was even called Odin.
