Ask HN: What old, discontinued desktop software do you still run?

What are your reasons for running it? Is it because you've never found a superior alternative? Is it because you know it inside out and it's the fastest way to do a task? Is it because it runs fast and with low-memory requirements? Or is it because it has the best interface for what you need to do, and it's never been bettered (in your view)?

      Not really, Win7 is still far more stable, and the UI is still far superior. Also, the spying doesn't come close to Win10 as MS can't violate the TOS.
      - romanovcode 9y ago
        OP just told that Win7 got updated to do the same spying as Win10. > Win7 is still far more stable Would like a source of this. I didn't see a BSOD in like 5 years now. > the UI is still far superior This is subjective.
        Paianni 9y ago
        Win7 has not had to face a major update since SP1, and has seven years of bugfixes under its belt. Not to mention that it was merely a reworking of Vista, which is even older. The consumer editions of Win10 are managed like Arch Linux, it is effectively rolling release and its users are perpetual beta testers. Since Nadella's ascension, QA/QC has declined considerably. I believe the KB3201845 update broke DHCP for a swathe of users, as an example. The worst part of Win10's interface is in the Start menu, it dedicates too much space to Metro files for what used to be links to Computer, Documents, Control Panel etc. Speaking of which, there are two control panels with overlapping features, a confusing experience.

    They have backported their spywa^H^H^H^telemetry stuff, but as standard Windows updates that are known and can be blocked/uninstalled. More worrying is the fact that they dropped Win7 support if a new-ish CPU is detected in your setup, even though the OS is not anywhere near EOLd yet. Deeply dishonest move, or as we call it around here, "Microsoft is still Microsofting".

They use more modern Linux / Debian stuff for actually browsing the web and other computing tasks, but keep several reliable DOS machines for school prep, because of being burned on Windows and Linux having problems (mostly related to poorly timed updates, or fsck'ing a disk) which used up hours on a night when new material had to be ready by the next morning.

It's more natural to alt-tab to an ssh window and manage a server or see output there than manage windows/panes/whatever within a monolithic application.

  I've also been using Textpad since Windows 95 days, I think. But you didn't say why you are sticking with the 2004 version. TextPad isn't technically "old" or "discontinued". It is regularly updated and released version 8.1.2 back in March.
  - gdulli 9y ago
    Hard to remember details, but the 5.0 version felt like a big rewrite or redesign because it lost some responsiveness or stability or features or other things I liked about 4.7 so I reverted.
    - pasbesoin 9y ago
      Me too, as far as remembering, as the years advance. It was version 5 or one of the major release points, where things really started to "go backwards". Among other things, they changed the way the UI worked, in ways I found not just different but significantly less effective and more cumbersome. IIRC, some of this might have related to changes in the underlying libraries or versions of libraries they were using. Around the turn of the century, I was using Textpad as part of processing some relatively massive text inputs. It remained solid and much more performant than the alternatives I tried. This including its regex support, which was great for examining, munging/transmogrifying, and cleaning up text data. Particularly text data containing significant variability and some one-off scenarios; having ongoing visual oversight and the ability to rapidly, manually select areas to affect in various ways, was vastly superior to trying to come up with command line / whole file invocations that would create the equivalent impact. Additionally, other editors choked on the volume/size of data files I was dealing with. What's that "open" alternative that's so popular? Notepad++, I think. Years later, I needed to "beat up" some text and tried it. Despite this being years later -- more time for development and refinement -- it was nowhere close to Textpad. And while it had a bazillion features and functions built in, I found those I tried to use very "shallow"; get beyond the simplest use case, and they started to bog down and "glitch" with unexpected and/or inconsistent behavior. I remember trying to use it for some regex manipulations, and having to give up on that feature. Finally, now that I recall, Textpad was "nagware". You could actually use it substantially and really get a feel for it. I paid for my license gladly.

The oldest piece of software I use is probably MP3Gain (looks like it hasn't been updated for 8 years): http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/index.php http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/index.php It's a lossless mp3 volume normalizer. I use this over ReplayGain tags because ReplayGain isn't supported for all the devices and software I listen to music on, and ubiquitous support is the entire reason I store my music collection in mp3 in the first place. I'm not married to this solution, but I just haven't found anything that works better for me yet. Interested to hear how others deal with the issue of music volume leveling.

I'm still using an outliner called PC Outline 3.34. My manager gave me a copy in 1986, saying "Here, you're organised. You'll like this" and he was right. I bought a copy and have been using it every day since then for todo lists, shopping lists and functional decomposition. As it's an old DOS program, I have to run it in DOSBox on Linux or vDos on Windows 7. I'm sticking with 3.34 as the 3.37 version has some bugs and the 1.00 version for Windows has a lot of them.

  I'm a longtime outliner software user from the DOS days. One of the last outliner software packages I used was Grandview 2.0 by Symantec [1]. Amazingly, just a few months ago I discovered that it has been resurrected to run in Windows using vDOS; there is a package that automates the entire deployment process[2]. I've started using Grandview 2.0 again on Win 7 using this package (which BTW includes a OCR'd scan of the very extensive User manual). It works flawlessly. Unfortunately, data exchange into "modern" formats is challenging (and you're left with a screen no larger than 80x50), so I've not been able to use it as much as I would like. I wish there were a modern incarnation of this or similar software, but it seems DOS software is largely viewed as a dead-end not worth emulating in this era of GUI's. P.S. I've tried MS Word's outline mode and find it wholly unsatisfactory. P.P.S. my favorite outliner software was Borland's Sidekick Plus (for DOS).
