What do you miss about Windows 9x?

Post by PsykoPenguin »

I miss having to put in my Windows 9x disc just to search for a driver to install just to be disappointed in the end because I just wasted my time finding absolutely nothing. Good times, good times.

Oh with windows 98, I miss installing it from the hard drive...

MD C:\WIN98
COPY *.* C:\WIN98
Setup

I can't say I had much fun with windows 95 though. o_o

oh oh oh oh oh FLOPPIES! oh how I miss those bloody things. I had so many, in so many colors. I had this collection of floppies though most were dead but I still kept them. xD

Hmm what else... can't think of too much except for having to install a driver for every little bloody piece of hardware you put into it.

I miss the quick fixes with scanreg /restore
Tweaking conventional memory via config.sys

That's about it.

The fact that I didn't have to keep up with updates.
