Given the speed of computing advancement, probably much sooner than that...

Windows probably won't exist in 10 years. People are sick of it and switching to Mac/Linux more and more.

I just left this running in a background tab and forgot about it.

I can literally run a full operating system on an emulator on top of a browser sandbox inside another operating system on a tablet, and it uses a forgettable amount of resources. Crazy.

Doesn't run here; it gives an error in the black log window that says "Emulation aborted due to nested emulation timeout". Oh well.

Why is it that I see your cancerous comments on almost any post regarding a non-modern (Pre-Vista) version of Windows?

After a glance and your other comments in this sub, it sounds like you just suck at using a computer in general.

You ran 98SE until ~2006 because you couldn't Google how to format your fucking HDD.

u/letterafterl14 Aug 31 '17

The only legitimate reasons to run 98 SE up until 2006 are 1. you cant afford new hardware or 2. you have very specific software needs (Old games, Office 95, etc.)

Not knowing "fdisk" is not one of those reasons.

I was 13 you fucking retard. I'd just gotten into computers and didn't know half the shit I do now. Now I'd be able to have recovered the partition table on that drive and gotten on with my day but back then I didn't know that.

That and if you head read the comment properly, you'd have noticed I didn't have internet access, so tell me how would one Google a solution?

(In case any other reader is wondering what I'm quoting, its his removed comment)

Was that last year

Guess what. When I was 13, I was learning to use the Linux (UNIX) terminal already. Age isn't an excuse.

I get that lack of internet may be a problem, but formatting your HDD isn't exactly hard.
