I don't know what is scarier. Age, time gone quickly and looking back thinking of being on Neowin during college before Windows XP came out and being on Windows 2000 with all the Whistler news. Beige towers and CRT monitors with ball mice. The days of Windowblinds vs Msstyles and all the theming that was so big as well back then. Plus the fact of 56k modems in the year 2000 and AOL dial-up CDs and such. Sometimes it's frightening looking back. Yet at the same time in ways it only felt like yesterday.

a 40th, 50th and 60th! Happy Birthday to my fellow Nov 9th'ers and yes it is crazy to think I was still in my 20's when Neowin started. 😵

Yes, happy birthday to the 3 birthday folks! 

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun though! :)

Man time flies! You were 27, almost 28. I was barely legal (18)! LOL.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Arceles · Posted

      No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.

      Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000

      I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.

      As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
