And what of the source code to Solitaire!?
Cool memory, thanks for sharing.
- westmeal 6y agoCan't wait until cozy bear leaks that :D
- macjohnmcc 6y agoMake that winning animation use the GPU!
- sn_master 6y agoNT 4 code was already leaked almost full back in 2004. You can still find it with relative ease if you know where to look, or search for certain keywords in the code.
- keyle 6y agoMan I'm old, but give me NT 4 with modern technology support, modern drivers and GPU driven and I would move in a heartbeat.
- sn_master 6y agoWhat do you miss the most? The UI? Speed?
- vxNsr 6y agoYes! UI was amazing and obviously you can’t beat the speed it would run at on modern hardware
- sn_master 6y agoUI shouldn't be too hard (https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/8628/ https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/8628/). I am not so sure about the speed if you'll use modern drivers.
- lukeschlather 6y agoHonestly I think Xfce is about the same. And probably more stable, though obviously it's hard to do a direct comparison.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThe window chrome is fine but the settings are a bit of a mess in my opinion.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoDepending on the "Distro" and compile options/build flags/included libraries MATE is as fast and light, since at least 6 years, actually. I think the first distribution which showed that to a general audience was LMDE a.k.a. Linux Mint - Debian Edition.
- keyle 6y agoUX, speed, simplicity, lightness. Applications ran without talking to the internet, asking if it's ok to run it, telling me it's probably unsafe to run it, telling me I need to update for security reason, telling me I should play candy crush, letting me search my files without adding recommended noise somewhat supposed to be relevant to what I did 3 days ago. I could go on. I just want to stare at a blue flat colour knowing tomorrow it will be just the same. /s

- macjohnmcc 6y agoYeah I remember when there weren't dozens of services running in the background just for basic OS functionality.
- macjohnmcc 6y agoIt took ages to figure out where the code even was in the many files and folders. The directory structure did not make it obvious.
- macjohnmcc 6y agoI just thought of something. At the time blank CD-R's were about $15 each and the fastest burners at the time were 2x burners. I'm sorry I wasted so much of time the person who burned these and the cost of the media!
