Oh yes, I remember it as the operating system with a toy style, that struggled to redraw windows under load or even move the mouse cursor. It was a huge difference compared to Mac OS X.
- M95D 4y agoYes, I remeber when a busy system would show a hour-glass mouse cursor to tell you it's busy, instead of just freezing and not reacting to any clicks. I also remember the title bar "this program is not responding". All gone now. It's still better than Linux where keys gets "stuck" repeating and the mouse freezes too.
- shp0ngle 4y agooh that’s the famous out-of-memory issue that nobody seems to care about and the stock reply is “buy more RAM”
- yread 4y agoTo be fair linux at that time tended to hard freeze (as in cursor wouldn't move at all in X) if you ran out your disk quota
