computers in the late 90's were sold with 10-25gb hard drives already (i have an old optiplex gx1 tower with 25gb hard drive), i also got an old pentium pro pc from the mid 90's which does have a 16gb 10krpm hard drive, but i am not sure as if it was added after the manufacturing date or when bought..
Conway79 True. 4.2 GB installation from DVD to HDD in 10 seconds? Without BIOS/rebooting? Even these days it takes longer to boot Ubuntu 16.4 LTS from a flash drive.
Not only Windows. For example, Android with things like being unable to take screenshots while using Incognito or (at least in MIUI) waiting 10 secs before you can click "OK" while changing some settings. Like, OS just treats you like an idiot who don't know what is exactly doing.
Whenever I hear about Windows 10 doing something dumb again, I'm often instantly compelled to bring up this video. It just goes to show you little has really changed since this was made in 2001. Ugly window decorations, extreme adware/spyware that we're now being told to accept as normal, more frequent reboots, charging for worthless stuff, and forcing the hand of the user... it was all there before, but it's violently amplified now. At the very least, I'm gonna hold out on Windows 7 as long as possible; hopefully creative software on Linux will have greatly improved when the inevitable hour comes.
Looking back on this today, it's remarkable how well this video has aged. To put this into perspective, this was back when AOL was popular (and dial-up connections were the norm), many Mac users were still using Mac OS 9 (Mac OS X still had a lot of rough edges at the time), and Windows ME was still only about a year old (which I think they indirectly referenced in the video, as "last year's operating system"). To put this into perspective, a lot of the annoyances seen in Obnox/OS have made it into other OSes in one way or another. Especially Windows 10.
Well, I think even by when this video was released, AOL and dial-up were fading out, and the latter was being pretty quickly replaced by high-speed/broadband internet.

Windows 10 = Obnox OS Similarities: - Both have advertisements everywhere. - Both have unwanted bloatware/nagware. - Both have an annoying personal intelligent assistants. - Both have forced upgrades/installs. - Both are spyware - (tracking every move you make). - Both sell your personal information/data to third-party companies. Look at the similarities. Do you notice any differences aside from that?

This is essentially what an off the shelf computer with Windows 98 on it was like. I'm so accepting of these 'features' from having been through this myself so much.
Microsoft in 2009: Okay, we are about to release Windows 7. Let's take notes on what Windows 8 should be like. EDIT: Microsoft in 2018: We screwed up pissing everyone off in 2012, 2013, and 2015. We'll just code this operating from scratch and call it "Windows 11". Microsoft in 2023: We didn't make it as annoying as in the video. We should put ads in the OS.
Even today I don't know what software does exactly what Animator did for me. There's a couple of projects I'm working on now where I run old software (Digital Orchestrator Pro, DeluxePaint II) in DOSBox.
Obnox: You should take a break. Someone: I dont want a break Obnox: You really should take a break. Someone: I said i dont want a break Obnox: *_YOU WILL TAKE A BREAK._* (removes mouse) (someone hurts their head)
I started hating Windows when 10 came out. The forced updates, random reboots to update, not telling me what the updates do, constant notifications to try microsoft products, and being prevented from running programs that I know are safe but just aren't digitally signed (even when running as "admin"). If you work in IT, Windows 10 sucks. If your the standard home user it works really well.
***** There's nothing trully wrong with windows 8, it's faster than windows 7, and yes, the whole touch concept sucks, but it's also able to use weaker hardware with better performance, along with marginally better support after 8.1
this just feels like modern windows. did you know that microsoft will reduce your pc's power when they think your area has a high electricity usage? awesome company!
This is like windows 10. Especially the beta. but it's not like it would be any better at the moment. you cant do anything in it and these constant updates that you cant even turn off easily and the shitty first party softwares. when the beta was the thing my machine got BSOD just for starting up a native microsoft program like the music player and it was not hardware error becaus i have a workstation.
The most unrealistic thing about this is the speed at which it wrote 4.2GB to the hard drive.
