FWIW, I swore I was looking at Win98, and was surprised to learn (it's on the page, straight from Dennis Richie himself) that that's actually WinNT4. I would never have guessed. I plan to get my 486SX put back together; here's hoping it works. It has 8MB of RAM. (And an SB16... and a radio card... and I recently came upon an ISA ethernet card which hopefully works.....) :D I remember the first time I enabled Web view in '98 and discovered View Source in my desktop menu. I closed Notepad very quickly. lol I'm looking forward to building CDE and running it, FWIW. Hopefully I can get it working on something appropriately old! :P BeOS et. al. FTW. I hope to seriously play around with it sometime soon. The reason I commented was because I've historically had terrible hardware too :P but it's made me realize how much old/unoptimized/inefficient hardware is so badly needed by developers today... new computers are like new cars, strong, silent types, not like the old noisy tech of old where you could get a visceral idea of what you were doing by sensing the system lag - like on my old 800MHz Duron I was using earlier this year, the mouse cursor could lag four different ways and I knew what each one meant (disk I/O, swapping to death, CPU usage by one process, or CPU usage by many processes). On this note, Netflix' new internal Flux monitoring system is interesting, it provides an "unconscious-compatible" view of data in the same vein. And yeah, I saw the Netscape screenshots. The scrollbars look really cool IMO. You might like to look into http://xpra.org http://xpra.org, it's sort of VNC + "wow". :P What else is there... You might like to have a look at http://vmwaros.blogspot.com http://vmwaros.blogspot.com Haxial KDX might be a fun (pointless :P) thing to chase... Hm, I can't think of anything else. The x86 assembler in bash that was on here last fortnight comes to mind, but nothing else is coming to mind right now...
