    What’s it called when you backport modern features to retro systems like this mockup? I swear there’s a word for this…

      I think you’re looking for “anachronism”: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists.

    It’s missing filling the start bat with a massive Copilot box and weather/news widget. Or maybe missed an opportunity to make Clippy the AI assistant.

    I love-hate it.

    I crave retro futuristic. The flesh craves nostalgia. Also… pentiums and 512mb of ram would have fucking been cooked if they tried this lmao

      Honestly though can we go back to the days or at least adopt design philosophies where the entire OS, programs, and everyday browsing could fit on just that much ram

      Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.

    I love the attention to detail, putting the upsell “30days of msn premium” between the “start” and “all programs” buttons, beautiful.

    Windows is ideal for experts, Twilight Zone lovers and desire for adventure, for the rest Linux is better (In the beginning it was the other way around, the first Distros even caused some suicids)
