I'm talking about general UI responsiveness. Perhaps this is just nostalgia.
- pengaru 3y agoThere's some truth to it just for vendor-supported graphics driver reasons alone.
- bluedino 3y agoWatching 90's GUI programs is always fun because you can see the graphics as they are drawn, which I don't seem to remember from back then.
- robinsonb5 3y agoIf you're nostalgic for that, there's plenty of modern software with a watch-it-paint-itself UI. <coughSagecough>

- robertlagrant 3y agoNow we have spinners that twirl while we wait for graphics to transmit from another continent.

- hulitu 3y agoI have a SSD on my work machine. Win 10 is still slow.
- FeistySkink 3y agoI had some of the first SLC SSDs. It didn't help at all. Windows 7 was a massive improvement though.
