Feels really nostalgic.
I was definitely around when all we had were 32x32 ICOs and "Windows Classic" (RIP).
All of these look old as hell now.
What's interesting is that while Windows 2000 is completely unrecognizable from Windows 11 (mmc, winver, and devmgmt.msc aside), OS X Jaguar looks and feels the same as macOS Ventura (System Prefs aside), just way more skeumorphic. Same with iOS (it basically hasn't changed since iOS 7).
I think that's a testament to how insanely talented the designers at Apple are/were.
- ihatepython 4y agoIn my opinion, iOS 5 was the peak for iOS, iOS 7 is where everything went off the rails. Present-day iOS has a notch, a screen with rounded corners, no home button, and endless places on the screen that are swipe-able. Haven't used OS X since Mojave, but compared to Jaguar, there are no scrollbars, the interface is designed more for a trackpad instead of a mouse. The peak for OS X in my opinion was the Panther/Tiger/Snow Leopard era.
