I've never heard of a dock that works on anything earlier than Windows 2000. The technology just isn't there in Windows 9x/ME.

Developers just don't bother creating programs for older systems anymore. You could try making a small web page with images and links to your programs on and using it as an Active Desktop item - but otherwise I think your luck has run out!

windows ..... ME ..... shutter !

good luck locating an older version

this is the kind of comments that make a lot of people "shutter" when asking questions about 98/me. lol

Shudder?

Oldversions.com?

But that's the problem, Windows 9x isn't used by very many people these days.

But there is a forum for support on these OS's on Neowin, therefore making your posts unhelpfull and off topic. If you cant help him, then dont post. Its been stated by Mods many times that these old forums are here to support people still using these old systems, NOT to slate people for using older systems.

But still, if nobody is writing software for 9x, why request it be written if every modern programming language requires Windows 2000?

I dont see anywhere that asks if it can be made, only if there is one that WAS made during the hight of 98 usage. Therefore your argument is void.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
