I am offended that I was born at the wrong moment and at the wrong time. I want to see the internet from 2005-2009, I don't want to see the current situation with the unnecessary staff and dull interface. I want to see the complete openness of people on the Internet and their kindness to me. I want to see how Windows was made lovingly and stable, not 10, which is filled with surveillance and unnecessary services. I want to see the past of the internet and what it was like.

I miss those days when the tech industry had quality control, the user had more control of things, and everything was well-designed, well-tested, stable and bug-free. And there were actual improvements without horrible regressions, without the "modern" redesigns i.e. skins with reduced functionality.

One thing that irritates me to no end in other communities; it's when someone asks a question and instead of answering the question, the answerer rebukes with another question. "Why do you want to use twenty year old technology? Either get with the times or be left behind." Here's some food for thought. Either answer the question at hand or don't say anything at all. You don't need to know my reason for using retro technology for the sake of telling me I'm old fashion and refuse to get with the times. I never could understand why others feel the need to act superior because they choose to use the "latest and greatest".

I hate when people use that responsive web design with some heavy java script on their websites..

Is it me, or lots of people think that WiFi == Internet?

Well, hello dere! Still kicking! Just checking in. Will at a later day see how some of my old faves are doing. Hopefully, y'all still kicking too.

We need to do something to keep MSFN up, it can't just end this way!

I will forever miss the Bill Gates' Microsoft and the personal computing decade from 1995-2005. Those were happier times for Windows users.

Does anybody remember those days when it actually made sense to use IE as a daily web browser? They are never going to come back...... IE is going to be killed off completely few months later...

On Facebook, people do not delete or remove messages, they "unsend" them now. This is English, not Newspeak. Or is it?

@Dixel! Haven't heard from you for some time, is everything fine?

Hello, I have many problems with your new version of the extended kernel. I used the one from October 2022 and no worries and I tried the one from March 2023 and a lot of problems appeared. I made a video to make it easier to see. https://youtu.be/BmPZTJX18sE

My trip to North Africa was amazing ,beautiful sea, and I was able to work comfortably In the coming days I will give you the latest news on developments in NT4 Work slowly but in the right way

@Vistapocalypse YES! The Vista ship is still afloat because of the renewed interest in Vista due to the invention of the extended kernel, and it will remain afloat for at least the next 5 years according to me.

I've changed my mind. I'm going to keep it up. Y'all have inspired me to not give up. So, XP x64 will remain my main OS for a long time; I can still squeeze more life into it.

EoS is nothing more than End of Support... XP Forever!

long time no see huh

Hi Compa! How have you been, hope you're not causing any trouble. Anyways peace.

Hello again. Hope my old fart faves are still alive and kicking (or screaming, depending on...).

I come here wayyy to commonly.

MSFN is finally back on-line..! :)

Back when I tried Mint with Xfce, this was as close to Windows as I could get it. But not a single desktop environment with folders as cascading menus+search, and a case sensitive file system were deal-breakers that made me switch back to Windows.

Why did MS wreck their Windows API documentation so badly? The offline copies from VS2008 properly show which OS was first to have a function (usually), but the online documentation says functions from NT 3.1 were introduced in 2000/XP? Why this sabotage?

Am I the only one who likes Windows 8's metro?

EoS != EoL MS can decree EoS, but users can postpone EoL for as long as they care to.

When will Microsoft actually start listening to the people? Guess never, at this rate. Windows 10 is designed to be a dumbed down, cash cow for folks who just want the latest stuff and trust MS to keep things in check. Good luck with that!

Hello Win32 , I am trying to port your Supermium to natively run on XP/2K3. It cann't send you private messages here in MSFN, Can u kindly reach me or provide alternative method to contact you? Regards Dibya

Windows 2000 is a good operating system.

There needs to be a check made to see if the subscriptions are working. While I have been a member there has been no deductions taken from my PayPal account or from earlier; my bank account. I have been a Silver then Gold supporter but no transactions have been made.

Hello, why is your website not working?

MSFN is a strong and healthy community that stays on it's course ! Yeah , on it's right course. Though , I do not like the word community , community .... communism ...
