Some days, I still miss OS 8.
- cm2187 9y agoWhat I miss the most is the extension system. Where installing something (driver, new feature, etc) on the OS is as simple as dropping a file in a folder. And uninstalling it deleting this file. And you know there is nothing left after you removed the extension.
- mattkevan 9y agoWhat I don't miss is when the extensions conflict, crashing the machine on boot. I also don't miss the process of removing each extension one by one, rebooting each time to find the culprit.
- cm2187 9y agoThat's still way better than trying to figure out which driver is causing a BSOD on windows today. Let's keep in mind this was a pre-protected memory OS.

- lispm 9y agoWhat I don't miss is the single address space memory without any protection or the relatively primitive multitasking.
