>>109163729Honestly, I hate MS for killing this beautiful simple OS. It was stable without constant updoots and online crap (unlike Troondows 10 and 11), backwards-compatible (unlike Shitux and macOS) and skeuomorphic with transparent glass, which makes it still a pleasure to look at after all those years, especially compared to today's stale corporate GUI.Honestly, what more did you need? and what more do you still need that WIN32 API (home32 API as I'd like to call it) can't provide?

>>109171331yes he is
>>109171694Does 64 bit CPU have 16bit games support? Or is it windows laziness ?
>>109171290Last good Windows. Killed by software devs who couldn't be assed to spend 5 minutes to add support for it. Rip in pieces.
>>10917170964-bit cpu doesn't have virtual 8086 mode, so microsoft didn't bother to work around that.wine, however, is able to run 16-bit windows programs on a 64-bit system.
>>109171331>>109171581All that updooting and all you have is more advanced spyware and more bloat
>>109171740This is a common misconception. The NTVDM source code has an 8086 emulation core which could have been used on amd64. The actual reason is handle sizes. 64bit windows increased the number of significant bits in handles to 32. This means its no longer possible to pass handles through 16bit code.
>>109171779What do they need more than 65k handles for
>>109171715shut up fruitnigger aero zoomer windows 98 was way better
>>109171831Handles are multiples of 4, so its actually 16384. Anyway, clearly some customers had run out of handles, given that on windows a significant number of object types share the same handle space.Access tokenCommunications deviceConsole inputConsole screen bufferEventFileFile mappingI/O completion portJobMailslotMemory resource notificationMutexNamed pipePipeProcessSemaphoreThreadTransactionWaitable timer

>>109171290>everything on his fucking desktop is open source shit available on github minus steam which runs on LinuxWhy even bother using jank ass Windows 7 lmao
>>109173399the only game i cant run with vxkex on is ctagoh so what i do is symlink the steamapps folder for 2 steam installs. one is the normal eol win 7 steam client that i use to run games, the other is more up to date for the current dl compression (you have to rename steam.exe steam_test.exe or w/e you like to bypass some steam injection protection bullshit for vxkex to work i think. so i just run steam #2 update to the symlinked folder then swap to steam #1 and play

>>109176843Kek doesn't surprise me people trying to keep old ass Windows 7 going are as freaky if not freakier than Linuxfags
>>109176448>literally relies on an ingroup of trannies and furries to make a functioning web browser for his OSjust shut up and suck the trans dick you depend on for the air you breatheI as a linux user will continue to use my comfy and supported desktop to spread my ideals of transphobia on online discussion spaces when I am not playing games on it thank you very much
>>109171290I miss Windows 7 so fucking much man
>>109176863Lel that's the irony of it all, the Windows 7 maniacs are relying on fucking FOSS to even use internet, yet they shit on Linux as if it's some unusual thing, meanwhile using Windows 7 is even more unusual, less supported and ridiculous than Linux.
>>109176861They are just as freaky and there is a way higher concentration of them, in fact they are basically THE only people devving for 7 and making 7 usable today.Of course the real problem is microsoft deprecating 7 because under the hood it's not massively different from 10 and 11. But using 7 because linux has too many genderspecials devving for it is derangement of the highest order and should be an F diagnosis.Then you have russians you know absolutely nothing about and I think they rarely opensource their hacks. That's about it for legacy windows, you do everything at the mercy of trannies and russians. Kek.>>109176873do not bump eclipse.cx groomer threads

>>109171290windows 7 was cool, but windows 8.1 was the best with vista close second. All downhill from there
>>1091769998.1 was based, ran great on my Q6600, and when I got an FX-8350 in 2014, it actually knew how to use that weird ass CPU properly, Windows 7 needed an update to know how to use one core per module but it still wasn't as good as Windows 8.1 and 10.

What a nice day to be a good little goy and make my computer use old slop so that it can be used as a botnet for a random russian living in his mother's basement!
>>109177071I don't know what gaudy is, but. Windows 11 causes physical pain to look at. Windows XP, even though not my preferred style, never caused me physical pain to look upon or use.

>>109179235Server 2008 is different to 2008 r2, it's vista derived and got it's own security updates up to the start of this year. Ideally I'd want to patch vista with legacy update and then apply the server 2008 security updates on top but I don't know if that's possible.

>>109179374That's what I keep saying, Windows 7 users are basically retarded Linux users, but but with even less support, and more rabid because they live in an alternate reality whee they're gonna use Windows 7 forever.

>>109179635>im used to being harassed onlinehave you considered that you deserve this and shouldn't cry when people rightfully do this to you?
>>109171681Nope. I just bought a laptop recently and put XP RTM on it to see how well it runs with zero internet on it. It's pretty based and has a fuller Dark Mode than Windows 11.
>>109179664>i personally dont mind being harassed i've been harassedso why cry about it then? >i just dont like people who start harassment campaignsso when are you going to kill yourself?
>>109179688>why make this about me? why is it that every harasser always deflects and starts talking about me?do you have no awareness about being the harasser you're crying about?
>>109179707you're crying about harassment despite endorsing and doing it more than all win7 users on the board combined. including by going into this specific thread to start shit.when are you going to kill yourself instad of hiding behind empty anime avatarfagging?
>>109171331Pretty damn cool in my book. Nobody cares about your opinion though.
please dont engage with the anime poster hes a shit stirrer or ragebaiter is what they call them these days i think
>>109179782>animedont lump us with that vtubertard
>>109179782can i get a qrd
>>109179803he frequents a couple of threads and boards, he always posts a bait tier post with a vtuber or anime pic attached and rants about harassers and calls others mentally ill he used to avatarfag with k-on girls but swapped to vtubers, can be spotted by shitty dots he draws on his images as well
>>109171290>transparent glassI never saw that as a positive, it gives poor readability.
>>109180150It was a positive when I was younger, same with minimizing animations of windows and eye candy in general, but you get older and realize that is wasted CPU cycles and memory
>>109180168Animations can help usability, though. For example, if a window just vanishes, it is not clear whether you closed it or minimized it; but if there is an animation of it scaling down and moving to the taskbar or dock, it is clear that it was minimized.
