I still use Paint Shop Pro 6. Purchased it in 1999. I still use it today on a daily basis (screenshots cropping, resizing, cleaning, censoring, etc.).
Basically copy-pasted the folder to every new laptop/computer I used since. I tried several other image manipulation tools but always came back to launching psp.exe.
[EDIT: I see many people answered things like Firefox or Photoshop. As I understood your question, you meant software compiled 20 years ago or more and still running on modern computers. Otherwise, yes, I probably can include things like VLC, notepad++, Firefox, Office suite, etc. but it seems to me that is not the initial goal of your question.]
- speedgoose 3y agoI am sure you are happy with old software from 1999 but have you tried more modern software? The technology has improved a lot even for basic operations such as resizing or fixing colours.
- nokya 3y agoProbably. Everytime I installed a new Windows I tried using the latest Paint software, but it always felt more complicated for simple operations, whether it was more clicks needed, missing keyboard shortcuts, or one of the few features I use were missing (e.g., resize, resample, crop, upscale/downscale color palette, set color transparency, convert between JPEG/PNG/BMP, lasso, automatic lasso, clone brush, I guess that's all). The only alternatives I read about is Gimp and Photoshop. I didn't like Gimp's usability at all and Photoshop just seemed too privacy invading.
