Windows NT, 600MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, hard disk, and yet apps open instantly: https://cdn.satellite.earth/f72819cf9a580207061cc6833dbb7674479f519b93ded630e46c3198c0e8ccc0.mp4

Windows today is a bunch of vulnerabilities and malwares with pinches of OS.
Long live Windows NT (and XP for workstations). The best versions.
Agreed. Total larded up shitware.
I find it ironic that Bill Gates got so rich selling an OS that is vulnerable to viruses and malware and now he claims he is trying to save humanity from actual viruses. That wasn't on my clown world bingo card.
Wow this is before all that compute inflation.
Thats the hope for nostr. A reliable lightweight protocol, simple to build on. So that those of us who value long term, minimalist stability, can still run it, even if the mob has moved on to fat, bloated javascript interfaces with 7000 NIPS.

We almost forget how fast it was! 😅👌🏻
I remember back in the late 90's at Sun Micro, some guy had a 1.44 MB floppy disk that booted up and ran a web server. Off of a 1.44 MB floppy!
Programmers don't even try anymore. They've gotten lazy and spoilt.
A web server doesn’t have to be a large program that does a lot.
Nostalgia... Kkk
Kkkkk Saudades do bom e velho NT, o RAID sempre dava pau, e a sua tela azul (tela da morte), problemas de memória virtual (arquivos de paginação)! 😂⚡️💊👊🏻
Those specs are overkill for NT 3.1. “Minimum system requirements on x86 systems include a 25 MHz 80386 processor, at least 12 megabytes of memory, 75 megabytes of hard drive space, and a VGA graphics card.”
That's a real relic. Great!!
Similar to Linux
Get your hands on a copy of “Windows NT Internals” at a used bookstore.
As a coder…. Makes me feel like our industry is not what it once was…
this is the way
now try multiple tasks
My dad nostr:nprofile1qqsqntam3xuf8z3hd2zhtlsl25s232z5t7cwr9qurext8k7epd7pexqz02ksj was on the NT team. Best OS to date.
If it wouldn’t be for security, computer life would be better. “Feature-complete” sadly is not enough if you don’t have up-to-date TLS.
Oh look what we are doing to “websites” today.
Yeah, i never understood why so many simple apps found on phones, like a news feed, take hundreds of megabytes and ages to open.
Why did everything get so bloated? Even with the most powerful phones and computers today simple apps - like calander or news feeds, take up hundreds of megabytes and often open slowly. Is it just sloppy devs or hidden spyware? Almost all apps are over 50mb these days. Why is slack 110 mb? That is nearly 10 times bigger than Doom. Just to send and receive short texts from a database?
Windows Task Manager author explains why modern computers are slow. 🙃
This is cool!
Windows NT. Had forgot the whole OS 😀
No lag at all, no wheel of death 🤣🤣🤣
It occurs toyself that most dual core, core 2 duo, core 2 quad and multicore core i series are probably based on something like pentium pro (with mmx) architecture. This would be fine on a two core and maybe even a four core. By the time eight cores (or more) becomes inherent, the additional instruction sets such as mmx based technology would literally provide hardware bloat in a larger multi core cpu where serial processing is inherent and required. If a 16 core cpu had 16 cores with additional instruction sets that would literally only be required on one of those cores in order to be effective, then an Intel based cpu that had eight or sixteen cores where and if each single core had additional instruction sets for multimedia (especially in consideration of modern GPUs) that this phenomen would be quite explificary as perhaps microhard, the Microsoft of hardware. Bloated system resource hogware.
