And Windows XP.
- petercooper 3y agoOr if we need to start the bidding low.. QBasic, perhaps? :)

- petercooper 3y agoHaha, yes! Although I'm being a bit sneaky, because QBasic would also indirectly get us Edit, I think ;-) It'd be interesting to see the code behind the 90s DOS IDEs.

- fuzztester 3y agoKids these days ... billg's very first BASIC, which he wrote on a night flight from Albuguerque to NY, or some such, for the Altair. 'Sbin a few decades, so ah disremember. See Ichbiah's Le Nouveaux Magiciens. Google ichbiah nouveax magiciens And, get off my lawn! Grrr. ;-)

- accrual 3y agoI kind of wish 95 or 98 would leak so we could more effectively patch it. I would love to see a modern TLS implementation running on 9x, it's one of the main barriers to browsing on old machines. I suppose Retrozilla comes close. Kind of a silly thing to want, and of course "unsafe" for many tasks, but fun for hobbyists nonetheless.
