Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition is very cool. Glad you worked on this video to celebrate its 20th anniversary! Analog Recorder is great, but it does have limitations. Photo Story is interesting, and so are the Windows Movie Maker 2 add-ons. Nice job!
@@prebenjaeger Aero was great! but it feels more like...minerals. hard, glossy, almost cold. almost clinical. not something to "live" with. still miles better than the current flat design tho.
I love your videos, there's always such a calm tone, but sometimes you're talking calmly about Movie Maker and sometimes you're slowly going insane because things keep Going Wrong.
MJD did you missed the Windows 95 Plus! for kids？Microsoft published two plus! pack for Windows 95 actually. And this Plus! pack's all programs were included in Windows XP Media Center Edition which MJD didn't mentioned. I think the Vista Ultimate Extras was the successor of the Plus! pack.
its increidble to see software that was once the neck plus ultra in its field being so seemingly weak comperated to today's standard running in its native environment, and see how it works just like it worked then and be as usefull as it was back then even if its been left behind by most to collect dust
I love the Dancers, The Tango is sensual. Another fave is Audio Converter. All these came inbuilt with my Dell Media laptop installed with XP Media Centre. I didn't have the Analog Recorder though :(
If you're a fan of the Alien franchise, quadrilogy is definitely a word! And i really miss the Win98 / XP days of figuring out cool and aggravating ways to personalize your computer!
Seeing the recorder "Powered by CoolEdit Technology" sent me back to a time when it _wasn't_ acquired by Adobe and subsequently bloated to all heck. XD
I sold computers and software in the late 90's early 2000's and a lot of time they would sell boxed software that had nothing inside but a disk in a case of sleeve, so that the box would have a larger presence on the shelves to catch people's eye, then when the software price was reduced, they would recall the remaining items, un-box them and sell them for cheaper....
I know how that feels. I use my subs feed to watch nearly everything, but with over 500 subs I'm two weeks behind, and of course nearly isn't all, so the recommendations should probably be hidden behind a brick wall.
My dad told me the horror story that he got a computer virus when he brought the plus product years ago, I think it was the 95 plus edition as he had a windows 95 machine back around in 1995! A much disappointment for him as he wasted all his money on a software later to find out it was infected after installation!
Wow all those skins look like the most cheap fake MP6 players that like dankpods would review haha. I would've foudn it tacky and ugly in the day but I was much more of a nerdy stick-in-the-mud. I certainly appreciate the style now.

Interesting. Crazy auto removal on upgrade? Wikipedia "Windows Ultimate Extras have been discontinued as of Windows 7 and the operating system also removes all installed extras during an upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate."
I used plus back in the day. had a great experience with it! im glad you are collecting these, michael!
My Childhood system....
WINDOWS XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silly Windows XP, we used you back in the day
@@gdtyraand i got plus xp installed on me lol
@@OneArrow1-g5qmy boy windows 7 lets gooo
Sure hope “Start” , “Middle” , and “End” become downloadable tracks for Apple Music or Spotify one day. That be the dream.
i thought the plus dancer was a gag you edited in, so weird that its official microsoft software
It looks weird and comical at the same time
those desktop dancers remind me of another program I found when I was a teen
🤨

I explored MJD's channel. Quality content throughout
you have 100+ comments and 46 hearts here, i think youve been exploring it for quite a while now

“Hello everybody and welcome back to a new video” never gets old.
it's a shame that microsoft left the XP design language behind. it was unironically a very human design.
It’s the most aesthetically pleasing version of windows imo. So simplistic and easy to use. it just works and does what you want it to.
Microsoft definitely changed after XP.
The Vista design team with their Aero remains the greatest.
It was an 8 year old human design, to be precise
@@prebenjaeger Aero was great! but it feels more like...minerals. hard, glossy, almost cold. almost clinical. not something to "live" with.
still miles better than the current flat design tho.
25:45 greatest video of all time, deserves an award
Again, very enjoyable video as always. A very fun Plus! Pack as well. The highlight is definitely the marquee becoming "aaaaaaaa--" at 20:40. Lol.

Love this video! I miss the times when Windows used to be so fun to use.
Merry Christmas/holidays everyone
Party Mode has a great potential. It's very sad that modern Media Player doesn't have alternative skins and visualizations at all.
This is very cool! I support you in your youtube journey!
the last version of Microsoft Plus was Windows Ultimate Extras
11:35 Cool Edit was an incredible audio editor
33:03 That looks like some FNAF Security Camera footage. Five Nights at Black Mesa?
Windows XP Plus! Was pretty cool. I did played Hyperbowl quite a lot and this really deserves me good.
I bought Plus 98 for my kids computer back in I believe 1999 or 2000. Was a nifty little add on!
This is giving me such 1999 vibes, miss the era of the more simple times on my Microsoft pc playing The Sims.
happy hollydays and a great new year! congrats from Romania
I remember buying this in the stores. Damn, I feel old now.
‘’Dammit Jim, I can’t stop staring at that damn dancer” lol
Used active sync for my pocket PC but never heard of the sync program
MS Plus content drop is exciting!!
I had the plus pack for 98, loved it... loved all the themes and Screensavers ... never realized there were packs like that for XP and MCE, though
i have those speakor the older verizon of those speakers I still use them to this day as my main surround sound audio setup
"Powered by cool edit Technology"
That's wild. Cool Edit went on to become Adobe Audition.
Why does the tour music remind me of the "you wouldnt download a car" commercial? 🤣
"Oooh... Nice computer you got here. Can I have it?"

OMG Bonzi Buddy is watching Micheal MJD

I love the Dancers, The Tango is sensual. Another fave is Audio Converter. All these came inbuilt with my Dell Media laptop installed with XP Media Centre. I didn't have the Analog Recorder though :(
I LOVED plus! DME So much!! Microsoft should bring it back one day.
the box give a different satisfaction feeling when purchase it

Now to take a look at Samsung Theme for Windows XP, which is the origin of the "Faked" Windows Longhorn sounds.
wait, there was a Samsung theme?, I need to make a video on that.

The desktop dancer reminds me of Tayne

I love how Half-Life turns up in every one of your videos in some form. Speaking of HL1, I'm still waiting for your 25th Anniversary review!
a trip down the memory lane…
This Microsoft PLUS NEVER gets old :(
another banger vid by michael mjd
yessir
Oh nice i wanted to see how did it look like back. im intrested
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So i just recently realised that I have subscribed to you ig 2 years ago and totally forgot, so it’s binge watch time 😭
I know how that feels. I use my subs feed to watch nearly everything, but with over 500 subs I'm two weeks behind, and of course nearly isn't all, so the recommendations should probably be hidden behind a brick wall.
Microsoft Plus themes were always kino
Videos on Power Toys would be cool.
20:47 Rare footage of MJD laughing
lol

"Powered by Cool Edit Technology"
That just sounds peak aughties.
I miss the dancers.. they always make me laugh when I glance down at them. Also miss playing music with full screen media visuals running.
wow!!!!
Still waiting on the video on the Plus Games pack that was released around the time of Windows Me.
An oxymoron: Microsoft Works!
Windows Powertoys For Windows Media Player
This Is Great Video
I still have Plus 95 and XP editions.
That's cute, but Windows Media Centre Edition was truly god tier!
I miss Cool Edit Pro. That was my jam.
I think that quartet is a better description than the word you used. 😉👍
Remember downloading the plus software from AOL warez rooms. 😆
Wow all those skins look like the most cheap fake MP6 players that like dankpods would review haha. I would've foudn it tacky and ugly in the day but I was much more of a nerdy stick-in-the-mud. I certainly appreciate the style now.
good video
You can install more dancers from install cd.
then also they put alot of things from plus in "Windows medic center 2005" which is based off from windows pro

Could you upload the ISO images?
nostalgia in my bones
best video of 23 lol merry christmas all
Oh cool still enjoy your videos
Amanda was my real lover from windows XP.
36:26 I feel like it’d be more useful as a reminder, like to tell you it’s a certain time to do something.
no dancing clippy???
Cool video!
Lets see the video guys
Never knew it existed when I was in middle and highschool
Please upload the photo story video!
he should upload it.
For Windows Analog Recorder, you should put a blindfold on your microphone. Why? So it won't be "peeking". (sorry)
I'm surprised that Microsoft's phone activation is still available.
Me too. I have a hunch it's not actually and he just didn't want to show him downloading a crack. 😅
Nah it still works! I’ve done it a few times within the past month actually
I mean it would probably work forever.
Miss the plus packs, they really added something neemw and customizable. The One for xp wasn't like that
Akami is that company who purchased Linode
yeah
This comment is sponsored by Akami. (tottaly)
@@7zeb no. its just stupid that akami gets rid of the Linode brand name
Is this the last Plus! pack?
Only thing that was more of a pita was the palm pilot sync software with outlook.
im very compelled to make the dancer do the mario
this vid came out when i just got plus xp
This reminds me becuz I have a pocket pc and I think It might have Microsoft plus
Great videos
Yuk! Product Activation was the last straw which signalled the end of my using Microsoft products on my own systems, back in the early days of XP.
guys i think MJD likes half life
yeah, I think he does like half life.
Dancerrs..!how to downloud them and from wheare..?Pls can you make a video..😊
my grandma used to have this operating system untill 2020
Why in hell would you want to ADD DRM copy protection to your music files?????
An alarm clock. I guess that is a feature that would be later added to Windows 8.
Didn't Kodi Media Player modern iteration derive from MS Plus!?
what about windows vista extras
Why would you convert anything to wma?
There is also Windows Vista Ultimate extras and I wonder if it is possible to get Windows Vista Ultimate extras to work on Windows 11
Interesting. Crazy auto removal on upgrade? Wikipedia
"Windows Ultimate Extras have been discontinued as of Windows 7 and the operating system also removes all installed extras during an upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate."
Hi Michael have you even though of finding a boxed copy of vocaloid1 or sony vegas.
