I haven’t seen a community dedicated to Windows 9x yet, so I decided to make it myself.

    Holy smokes… Millennium Edition! I had forgotten all about that one!

    I’m with the other guy though, how come? Pre-HAL OS’s were a pain and you can make most software run if you set up the environment correctly on a modern computer.

      I still remember the windows Xp compatibility problems with old software and games. And windows 10/11 didn’t make those problems go away, instead it got worse. Old software is not a priority, understandably.

      For example have you tried to play Dungeon Keeper 2 on a modern pc? I have, and it crashes constantly. Other software won’t even run a lot of the times, even with tinkering.

      DOSBox made using DOS software accessible. There is not a catch-all like that for pre XP windows software yet.

      Also this community is mostly for/about nostalgia.
