I run Windows 98 on my WIP retro computer. I recently got into the habit of dual booting OpenBSD so I can rsync C:\WINDOWS to another partition, and rsync it back when it inevitably becomes unbootable as I test things out. This was a golden moment for me as I was no longer installing a fresh copy 3x per day.
More on-topic: Windows 98 is not only nostalgic but it also represents a past time when we were more in control of our PCs, and understanding them fully was a less daunting task.
- jonathankoren 4y agoI kind of wonder what happens if you put a Windows 3.11 complete with Trumpet WinSock on the unprotected internet these days. I wonder if it’s immune because there’s all the malware has evolved past its exploits. Watch there be some retro computing enthusiast (unintentionally?) running Back Orifice out there. Like a shadow ecosystem of archaic malware.
