Literally the most asthetic OS ever made. Why did OS development turn to shit after 1995? Everything got bloated and ugly.

I believe you've meant Windows 98/2000

this.

Windows 98 was the OS I always loved but never got to use growing up. I was stuck on 95 until 2001.

NT4 or W2K
OR DIE

It was OK since I didn't know any better. Then XP came, which I later riced to oblivion in 2004/5. Then Vista which blew my mind when I saw it on my Dad's laptop. Since then, nothing intresting happened in Windows GUIs. I give a honorable mention to Compiz cube effect, that looked cool.

Too bad you can't use any of those apps on Windows 10

I always disliked that green background color
Also 3.x looks better

3.x is fucking awful, the interface looks and feels so bulky and wasteful and the program manager is terrible.

You went from based to basedboy really quick

The NHS should ditch their windows shitboxes and switch staff to terminals with TUI applications, no more ransomware or costly hardware rollouts.

Here's your (You)

it could use a bit of polishing. 98 and 2000 fixed that a bit.
it's very functional and discoverable though.
discoverable means even if you don't know shit, you can click your way around and figure out how it works.

they all fit the criteria of intuitiveness and discoverability.

>vm
That's for fucking losers. Get the hardware or leave.

I used 1998 until Steam stopped supporting it, which was around 2005 I believe. Was sad to have to goto XP with its shit telitubby UI and butchered classic UI theme.

System 7 was the most aesthetic followed by windows 98

Is there an archive of official Windows 98 updates anywhere?
I don't want to install UOSP3 and it's extra shit copied back from later windows versions.
Seems no one gave a shit to archive official files only.

other than that its pretty good
especially the windows font

nobody cares what you think

posted from windows 95

Answering my own question
archive.org/details/WULOS
Security9_enu_15.iso was exactly what I was looking for, fully officially updated 98SE.
Based archive.org uploader.

I wonder what the fuck can one like about this cancerous shit. I used it, so go fuck yourself with your shitty nostalgy.

Post a pic of the c*pcha working

9x was shit.
Especially 95.
Use 2k at least you faggot.
2k was Litterally made in order to be a non shitty 9x windows without the dos base. Instead using superior NT.

this is fun.

Nope

i guess you never had to do actual work with OS9.

i think that is wrong. i love and use xfce4, i also believe that unity, kde3, kde5, and windows aero look better than anything

get on my level

yeah, I prefer to keep the gui utilitarian but maybe it can affect your mood or it may even be dificult to look for something

Sounds like you just didn't know how to use it, I used to shitpost here from an OS 9 system all the time and it was alright, enjoyed it even more than my Windows NT boxes.

should i install this os on a small partition? how usable is it? Looks super aesthetic.

It's decently usable, forget about modern video codecs though. What are you planning on running it on?

2014 laptop, too new? Just would probably use it for luls, i dont think it could a daily thing. How well does modern youtube work on it?

>Mac OS 9
>on x86
Yeah, no. Mac OS 9 will only run on PowerPC Macs (that's from 1994 to 2004 or so), it won't run on anything Intel or AMD (or VIA, or whatever x86 flavor you choose).
>How well does modern youtube work on it?
Youtube does not work on it. At all. This is an OS from 1999. How new are you?

sorry im retarted

This.
98, but only service pack 2. And 2000 is the undisputed king of kings.

No worries m8, we all have to learn at some point.
If you still want to try it, you can use it in an emulator (SheepShaver or qemu, the former is way easier), but from my experience it's a tad unstable.

THICC UI

I got this in my basement, any tips for modern usage?

Depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, and how much you want to spend on it.
I've maxed out the ram on mine, replaced the 266MHz G3 CPU with a 400MHz G4 (running at 417MHz), set the 60x bus and the memory to 83MHz (from 66MHz stock), upgraded the network card and the hard drives, and installed a video capture card in it. Plus I'm waiting on a PCI graphics card to arrive.
With all those upgrades it can run up to OS X Tiger quite comfortably, which means I can get up to date cli software (GNU userland, ffmpeg for example) thanks to Tigerbrew, and I can run a modern browser thanks to TenFourFox. However, browsing the modern Internet is quite slow unless you disable JavaScript, and the poor thing can't play video at a resolution higher than 360p (in CorePlayer).
If you're willing to go all the way with yours, you could get a 1GHz G4 upgrade for it, and I'm pretty sure it'd be decently usable. Not fast, but just about bearable.

>I like you.
epic reddit meme /b/ro

Would internet browsing without JavaScript in stock hardware and software be possible? Or it's absolutely unbearable?

It would certainly be doable. Classilla on OS 9 can perfectly do it, aside from some sites with new TLS certificates. Just make sure you upgrade to OS 9.2.2 before. And if yours is a 300MHz or greater G3 and has 512MiB of ram or more, I'd try OS X Tiger on it too via XPostFacto.
