Don't know about you, but I'm staying my butt on 1909 for as long as possible. I got Winaero Tweaks and was able to get back my classic volume changer, replaced a lot of icons with ones from W7 imageres.dll. I can still access things like the old appearance menus through some of these hacks. Looks like home, for now. I imagine that the 2000s versions will break even more old features.

Haven't posted here in ages. Dev should try and re-monetize without aggravating users, which is hard to do from devs I've talked with. On 20H1 myself and it is currently in the release preview ring slated for May. Wonder if anything else that breaks stuff has been included courtesy of MS? I wonder how many hours it takes to undo the mess they make. Windows 10 has gotten worse in QA as the years go by. Comparing it with some of the Linux distros I use I just feel saddened by what they're wasting. Decades of work eroded into sponsored tiles of Candy Crush and Telemetry CPU spikes (cough cough Win10Privacy will fix) alongside broken updates. AI is decades away at minimum from replacing human QA testers. Maybe they should've thought of that before they fired them all after 8.1 was released. Makes me wonder how some of the smaller Windows developers will survive. A lot of creative work could erode.

LTSC is far less I/O intensive than regular Home/Pro editions of Windows 10 due to the lack of UWP apps installing and updating themselves, as well as a reduction in telemetry. Thus, LTSC is far more usable than the latter two OOB, especially on 5400/7200 rpm HDDs. But I think you can get the same experience from Windows Server as that also lacks the UWP junk, has a far smaller storage/RAM footprint by default, and doesn't require enterprise licensing. My father had grown so unsatisfied with Windows 10 that it was finally replaced by Ubuntu this week, mostly due to the I/O problems. It should no longer be licenced for PCs with only HDDs, as it's basically equivalent to Vista with 512 MB of RAM. And that Vista Ready nonsense went nowhere quickly...

I was pleased to notice that hundreds of Windows 2000 packages have been archived: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/* Yeah, once every few weeks Boingo loses the WLAN card yet the PC will sometimes remain connected to the web. Disabling and re-enabling the connection from the network connections folder seems to fix it.

@Bruninho website Just some thoughts, since you seem to be really interested in old systems/browsers. I understand we're coming from opposite ends of the spectrum, and your site is meant to showcase "modern" features of course. But you also claim it were "responsive and efficient", and sorry, but I have some doubts there. It may be true for users with modern systems and fast connections and no bandwidth probs, but that's not the target group which needs efficient pages. On less-modern equipment the site is instead rather heavy and unresponsive. The #1 killer, and I mention this because it may matter for some customers too: the site even denies access *completely* to all sub-pages if readers can't use javascript for whatever reason! (limited resources, hardware, bandwidth, system, security, whatever.) Of course some advanced functions may need JS, but that doesn't imply that the whole rest need be broken too. For example look at this forum here, or look at Amazon: their pages surely have tons of functions, and (I suppose) also stuff requiring modern browsers. Yet even for browsers as ancient as FF3.5 and slow connections it's still possible to load them in a reasonable time, and without needing javascript at all. It's possible. On amazon JS is only needed for secondary functions, like reading comments of comments, since a while. But browsing and searching still works okay without JS. Of course, partly bad layout in very old browsers due to CSS, but that's secondary, what matters most is that a page is still readable at least. On your homepage only the entry page loads normal -although slowly, and page width only 15cm on a 28cm wide screen- yet none of the subpages and none of the language variations are accessible at all. Completely blocked. No go. Or something I never understood when stuck on ultraslow connections in the past: the images look small, but in reality are already loaded full size. That costs a lot of unnecessary bandwidth (your page size 3MB needing ca 10min), and never understood the point: if only shown small, why load them big? Or otherwise, considering they are already loaded full size anyway, a nice gimmick could be to show them full size just when hovering over them (css img:hover, no JS either) That said, next thing I'll do now is open my user css and add this as a global rule, LOL! Sigh, just noticed killer #2 for old browsers: the whole browser crashes when loading your page with SVG enabled.
