Michaelsoft Binbows was actually a pretty respectable store. Michael is used as a name almost like John Doe for Westerners, Binbows was a pun relating to thrifting old computer parts. They salvaged and repaired systems to make them at low cost. The name was not just a rip off, but a deliberate pun.
The "company (C)" thing is standard in CJK Windows. This is so that you can use Alt+C to jump to the control. In English/Western localizations of Windows, you might see some letters underlined (you might need to first press Alt in modern versions), but with the way CJK input methods and CJK characters work, they need to show the letter that actually exists on the keyboard that you can press.
@@EricParker You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This CHICANERY? He's done worse. That program! Are you telling me that a man just happens to run malware like that? No! He orchestrated it! danoct1! He ran CIH on vulnerable hardware!
Maybe it's just because I've studied Japanese for a while but ohhh my god, it annoys me so much when people confuse it with Chinese or Korean, they look SO DIFFERENT how do you even do that!!!!
I'm in the same boat and grew up exposed to a lot of Chinese. But I think if you don't really have any experience looking at them, you're going to mostly just see a lot of straight strokes in fixed width square-ish blocks and it will be hard to know what you're looking for. There aren't really any languages in common use outside of CJK that have that kind of script characteristic so someone with really almost zero exposure would probably still know that it's one of them, but not really know which one.
It's crazy how many people couldn't tell that the apostrophes around Japanese and 97 were sarcastic. Then again, reading comprehension and critical thinking aren't too common nowadays.
I really loved your videos, it’s very interesting to see how obsolete OS reacts to viruses. It seems that there were more « funny » viruses back in the days. Today It seems to be more about miners, stealers or in 2016 cryptolockers .
the amount of people in this comment section who don't know what dark quotes are insane in case anyone comes onto this video to comment "It's not Japanese it's Chinese!", quotation marks around a subject in this manor is called a dark quote and it indicates sarcasm, he's saying it's "Japanese" in dark quotes because the disc claims to be Japanese but is actually in traditional Chinese. However please make the stupid comment for engagement because I like this channel and Eric making money is probably a good thing for me.

>says that the disk is Japanese
>setup is in traditional Chinese
Great.
Yeah I noticed that lack of Hiragana and/or Katakana in the setup.
Indeed, this is a Taiwanese bootleg
It makes a lot more sense being in Chinese, Japan does not really have a bootleg culture at that same level.
Thought the same thing lol
No. The WHOLE OS is in Chinese.
I am so not used to a youtuber put out cool new content so often.

@woogy110rarely will you see a sentence entirely in kanji in modern japanese, there is usually at least some hiragana or katakana usage
makes absolutely no sense in the case of korean though, unless you count hanja which has different pronunciations
Did ANYONE see the speech marks around Japanese? 🤦
Eric suggesting that there is “Windows Lore”.
it's just a theory....

VM: no. 🗿
Perfect, just what I need for my PC-9821
So this is Chinese not Japanese

it was so clearly sarcastic that he maintained it throughout the video

Win9x not having unicode is only partially correct. I know there was a patch for 98se that added UTF-8 support to the system.

3:09 Not a glitch. You have to actually input the "+" character by holding SHIFT and pressing the Equals key.
i love these videos even though i know literally nothing about software
chinese (both simplified and traditional) warez cds generally used "win97" to mean "windows 95 osr 2.x"
"Looking for Windows 9x Malware" - most relatable thing
I went “YOOOOO” when I saw the Serial Experiments Lain reference in the photoshop setup first and last name!
The serial number for photoshop was in the Serialno.txt file in the same folder.

I have to ask what did the setup malware video violate?

Where'd you get those installs of norton and avast? Can't find them anywhere as i'd like to get some proper AV's for 98se.
Try the internet archive or their official respective websites

"Was that the byte of '97?"
In fact the whole OS is in Traditional Chinese, and there is no Japanese appearing in this video lol
4:35 -999999 social point
Just an fyi, there is no social credit system in China and it’s very offensive to be making jokes like that.
Chernobyl happened in 1986 so if it was supposed to be one year after the date you had to change it to it should of been 1987

video on windows "distros" when
is that japanese or chinesee because i can't find a single katakana or hiragana in the installer.
As he says in the video, Chinese
oh eric , im so late... i luv you eric
its not japanese, it’s chinese
Obviously. You can immediately tell from an entire Kana-less paragraph (basically impossible) and the slightly too complicated symbols.
The title is "" for a reason.
It was listed on Archive.org as a "Japanese" bootleg, I think calling it that makes it more bootleg.
CIH is a feature of windows 9x
its a virus not a feature

Hi
Here before 100 comments.🙂
Chinese. Language-aside, the Japanese would never pirate like that. Piracy was always heavily prohibited both by law and culture.
Look at the speech marks around Japanese 🤦

thats chinese windows not japanese
Speech marks in the title 🤦
I'm japanese and I'm sure this is not japanese.
It's chinese I guess
Speech marks around Japanese in the title ffs 🤦
Thats chinese 💀💀💀
yes, he is aware. That's why "Japanese" is in quotation marks
CHINESE. Not Japanese !!
Read the title, there's quotation marks around Japanese 🤦
