@driftini reminds me of #WindowsVista and #Windows7 aka. #AeroGlass...
@mudkip just a shame #WindowsVista ran like dogshit!
#Windows7 did it better...
I had a dream that #Microsoft went back to the #Windows Vista/7 look. Windows had those glassy translucent borders again.
It was nice. #WindowsVista / #Windows7 was peak Windows. They completely lost the plot after that.
Und ja, Ich mag' die #WindowsVista und #Windows7 #Retail #Box|en!

#FollowerPower: Does anyone have the dimensions for the #packaging of #Windows7 & #WindowsVista?
#PleaseBoost :boosted: :boost:
If anyone has a calipher and said box, it would be cool if they could get the measurements.
Okay, those #colours do look nice as a #wallpaper...
Almost reminds me of the #Windows7 and #WindowsVista editions.
@Rusty Reminds me of how I tend to add #WinTile as #Gnome extension because using Super + arrow and tab keys is just something that #WindowsVista introduced and that really improves my productivity a lot...

@polyfloyd you gonna make some #cursed #Linux #Desktop that looks and feels like #WindowsVista?
Nergahak Font Pack
This package containing all Windows 11 fonts and some extras like Fira, Noto and IBM Plex for Windows 2000 and later.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/cumqlj2a6cxrqiu/FontPack_Setup2.exe/file
Installer updated and tested only in Windows 2000 and XP.
Issues I've had with computer operating systems.
Ms-dos: refused to run some programs it had previously run with no problem.
Windows98: Random shutdowns. Not even "Blue screen of Death", just stopped.
Windows7: multiple times decided to update as I was working, losing what I'd been working even though I 'd saved it.
WindowsVista: Graphics card on board and installed one would sometimes just not work. Same updates problem as Windows 7.
1/3
I think #Linux should embrace #FrutigerAero more!
Ideally making #WindowsVista #aesthetics on machines too slow to run #Vista back in it's days...
Seriously, that "Swimming" track has some Welcome to Windows Vista #vibes...

@cstross @pdcawley To be fair, #Apple isn’t unique in this. #Microsoft #WindowsVista introduced a widget sidebar and #Windows 7 let you move widgets to the desktop. It was killed in #Windows8 in favor of Live Tiles on the Start menu.
Windows Vista (2006) added a search box to the Start menu. This let users type to search instantly on opening the menu. Previously, users needed to click a Search option within Start to launch the Search UI first. Typing to search in Start still exists as of Windows 11 (2021). #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsVista
