In Japan, around that same time, there was a computer store with a Michaelsoft Binbows sign. There was a TH-cam video on it. It ultimately closed its doors. It was not in a major city, and probably went out of business, as most mom and pop computer stores did.
DUDE even their logo screams crusty early 2000s design, just looking at it transports me back in time and gives me a nostalgia injection, I used to make logos like that on my PC when I was bored, back when I didn't even have an internet connection but had a pirated copy of photoshop somewhere on some CD.

I play too many games to easily make the full migration, so my strategy has been switching to Linux when the version of Windows I'm using reaches EOL.

I tried using Spotify for a while, but they detected that I was using an ad blocker and they shut down my account, so I went back to TH-cam where I have a superior selection of free music and my ad blocker never gets blocked, funny that right, I know they're trying to stop the ad blocker technology on their platforms, and they might one day get there, but for now I get away with listening to all the free music that I could possibly want to listen to on TH-cam without having to deal with the ads or paying them to get rid of the ads. Right now Life on TH-cam is fantastic, and I listen to hours and hours and hours of music, frequently when I'm playing video games I turn off the games music and I listen to music on TH-cam while I game on whatever game I'm playing, like for example if I'm playing Fallout 4 and I want to listen to some oldies music, I could listen to the music that's in the game sure, but that's a very limited selection of oldies music, if I want a far wider variety of music, I just open up a tab on TH-cam and play that in the background while I play my game, not to mention I can pause and play the music any damn time while I play my game without issue, it's actually my preferred method of listening to music. The only problem I run into is TH-cam's automatic pause feature that assumes you're not listening to whatever you're listening to and just pauses the video for you, that's a bit of an annoyance, and usually I have the capability of hitting the pause button and then hitting it again in order to resume the music, I hate that built-in feature of TH-cam to Auto pause the music while you're listening to it, if I want to pause it I pause it myself, but this is another reason why I don't like individual songs like individual videos on youtube, if it's a list of a compilation of songs say it's a video that's an hour to 2 hours sometimes 3 hours long, those ones I love the most because the music appears endless for hours on end, what's best is when you find one of those 24-hour live streams of music you can play those for as long as you want. But yeah I understand at some point TH-cam will have their way, and all of this great delicious entertainment will go away, and the ad blockers will not work on their website, so I say enjoy it while you still can.

Yes, I had dial up The Simpsons internet, early college, before Net Zero. I feel older in other ways, but if I hadn't had a rough past 7 years, I'd look younger than Muta. I'm not dating Muta looks old. I'm saying everyone thought I was underage even in my thirties. If I hadn't hit hard times, I'd still look like a college kid.
I’m a bit older, so vaguely remember this as a kid. IIRC the Lindiws distro came free on a CD on some magazines at the time. ReactOS (FOSS Windows natively compatible OS built from the ground up) was already being developed at that point too (that’s still not even reached v0.5 after 20-odd years)
ReactOS may not be usable (or even ever become so, since Windows is a fast-moving target), but I don't think it's fair to shit on it like that, it's a massive undertaking for just a small team of volunteers, and it's technically very impressive even if there's no stable release. But also, if it was actually usable it's likely Microsoft would nuke it out of existence with lawsuits.

This brings so much memories from my childhood even though I'm not that old like the fact that I had to search the apps in the long list from the windows menu in order to oppen them
The year 2000? I had just finished Elementary School. The internet was the wild west, dial-up was not just the norm the internet and that form of access was new and it was cutting edge, and the process of making mixtapes was new and amazing. Ipads didn't exist, Ipods wouldn't be out for another year, and the Sega Dreamcast was the hot new game system. It was a simpler time.
So this is weird because I distinctly remember getting a copyright claim... They wanted to make sure that I had permission to record my keyboardist in my band. Lol. I would imagine they would strike anybody that sampled or uploaded copywritten material
Oh man, I remember this! I worked at a big box store back when it was around, and they were forced to change their name to Linspire. A lot of their guys ended up being major contributors to all the biggest Linux distros we all know today.
I remember getting wine to work back in those days...it could be such a pain in the ass I do remember when I got starcraft working oddly enough it ran better under wine than it did on winxp, the cutscenes were jittery under windows but were smooth as butter in wine
When you talk about buying an OS I am reminded of how I started using linux. I started using linux over 20 years ago and the first 2 distro I did go out and buy a physical copy. One being red hat and the other being Mandrake. I found them at book stores of all places.
I still have my Lindows CD somewhere. I never installed it, I just wanted to buy one. The guy behind Lindows knew Linux was free but was trying to monetize it so it would have a paid staff for support and fixes.
I pretty sure when people where talking about losses on the initial sales of the original xbox. Microsoft said they where worried but then remembered they make 20 million a month. That was what? Late 2000's? 20 million is less than peanuts to Microsoft.
I don't know if anyone here knows this, but KDE3 is still being maintained to this day as Trinity Desktop. I pretty much daily drive the thing on my Debian powered shitbox, and it's very cozy to use.
I didn't have internet until 2007, So this is interesting to me, because in a lot of ways it was similar to what I remember, but in some ways it isn't. Also I enjoy your tech videos, including ones like this just going over some old OS, it's backstory, and how it works.
It's hilarious that Microsoft had to settle, since they, Xerox, and Apple had used the term "windows" generically before trying to trademark that as a product (and good on Lindows lawyers for pointing that out to the judge).
Honestly if MS didnt sue them and all the stores didnt stop selling them, this might give Windows some serious competition to Linux. When most people thought of linux, they immeditaley turned it down because they knew it was hard to set up and wouldnt work with any of their apps, but if this still exsisted and people bought it Linux could be at a lot higher market share
Fun fact: The Lindows Forum was involved in a stage of the Half-Life 2 hack (Axel Gembe recalled hacking the forum in an interview, although i dont remember if it was him personally)
I wonder what Lindows is based on, obviously the programs were reskins (maybe? idk just looked like old KDE to me) of KDE and similar programs like Audacious. It feels like every other wants to be windows linux os, trying to get as close with structure to the original. Also we didnt check out Linspire in this video, thought it looks more bog standard then Lindows.
Knoppix 3.x was just around the corner from this one. I recognized KDE immediately because of familiarity with this. PHLAK was also a fighter. It's hard to believe there were so many exciting alternatives out there during the Morpheus/KaZaA era. I'm still not sure how teen me managed to wrestle WinPE into some survivable competition to Reatogo/ERD let alone skip most of these to work on writing loaders for SLAX. The Internet was a very different place back then and so were these distros. Simpler. Easier. Cleaner. Less resolution though. I didn't even get to widescreen until 2016. What a life.
Amazing! I want to hate it because he sells FOSS but the fact that he won against MS is incredible hahaha And I mean there was some work done to package the distro. Very cool
I still refuse to stream music. I have a 128GB SD card in my phone full of music (mostly FLAC+.cue CD images, but also a lot of my old iTunes stuff and assorted other downloads).
Microsoft losing $20 million is like your upper-class neighbor losing a $100 bill.

FYI, SIP is not only still used today, but it's the primary protocol for the vast majority of IP phones, period. Cisco has their proprietary version called Skinny, but yeah, it's as modern as TCP is despite having been around for 20 years.
I was just gonna say WTF-R-Y-T-A?! Even mobile phones use it as their VoLTE protocol and of course all business SIP phones. smh
"Microsoft is pleased" lol
When we talk about corporations as a human entity, we've already lost all sight of what a corporation really is.
That was a very enjoyable history lesson.
Also, Happy Birthday, Mutahar!

Got Lindows back in the day in AOL Cerver, flashback
This is nice and all, but can Lindows run BonziBuddy? This is extremely important.
What is bonsai buddy?
@@5226-p1e bonzibuddy was uhm, an experience. Like an annoying desktop wizard.
@@5226-p1eit was half desktop assistant, half curio/toy, and _loaded with malware_
The worst combination of Clippy and data harvesting possible.
And a purple monkey.
Banzai buddy, it's a small lil thing that flying above boats ⛵ 😊
if you can get wine working on lindows, then it should run bonzibuddy
This brings so much memories from my childhood even though I'm not that old
like the fact that I had to search the apps in the long list from the windows menu in order to oppen them
I want Microsoft to fuck up so bad Linux gets more users and support for gaming
Downloading an mp3 is still superior to ad or subscription ridden services that always take more than the apparent cost of using them.

The year 2000? I had just finished Elementary School. The internet was the wild west, dial-up was not just the norm the internet and that form of access was new and it was cutting edge, and the process of making mixtapes was new and amazing. Ipads didn't exist, Ipods wouldn't be out for another year, and the Sega Dreamcast was the hot new game system. It was a simpler time.
Dreamcast is still my fav, best console ever
You should do more videos like this, this was a banger!
Superb. Now do windblows next 🤣
That startup sound reminds me of that "Windows Tour" application on like Windows 98 which had a banger starting with a bell sound 😂
Beating windows is a big achievement. the company should definitely put that on their resume now
I remember seeing the Lindows computers at Fry's Electronics. It always interested me.
Muta never fails to support our tech
That drop background is the same as my pyshics text book lmao
That’s where I knew it from!!!!
So this is weird because I distinctly remember getting a copyright claim... They wanted to make sure that I had permission to record my keyboardist in my band. Lol. I would imagine they would strike anybody that sampled or uploaded copywritten material
I'm still listening to mp3s I ripped or downloaded in the 90s...
When he said that got a flashback of the Conan show and the bit 'in the year two thousand'
awesome stuff, old internet is always a fascinating trip
Oh man, I remember this! I worked at a big box store back when it was around, and they were forced to change their name to Linspire. A lot of their guys ended up being major contributors to all the biggest Linux distros we all know today.
I remember lindows and very seriously considered buying a laptop with it on it already but never pulled the trigger on it. This is an awesome video.
No Mutahar, Linux was already everywhere at that time! Well into 2.x of the kernel as well!
i was learning to swear in 2001
I remember getting wine to work back in those days...it could be such a pain in the ass
I do remember when I got starcraft working oddly enough it ran better under wine than it did on winxp, the cutscenes were jittery under windows but were smooth as butter in wine
I remember hearing about Lindows back then.
I miss Napster, they had like several cuts of the Same song. Almost like you had full access to the recording studios entire log.
Awesome video man.
40k in 1h , keep up the good work bro
When you talk about buying an OS I am reminded of how I started using linux. I started using linux over 20 years ago and the first 2 distro I did go out and buy a physical copy. One being red hat and the other being Mandrake. I found them at book stores of all places.
Holy shot, I was just thinking about Lindows yesterday.
Microsoft taking an L? I would never have guessed.
I still have my Lindows CD somewhere. I never installed it, I just wanted to buy one. The guy behind Lindows knew Linux was free but was trying to monetize it so it would have a paid staff for support and fixes.
He called it Lindows, because he knew they'd take the L, not the W.
I pretty sure when people where talking about losses on the initial sales of the original xbox. Microsoft said they where worried but then remembered they make 20 million a month. That was what? Late 2000's? 20 million is less than peanuts to Microsoft.
I don't know if anyone here knows this, but KDE3 is still being maintained to this day as Trinity Desktop.
I pretty much daily drive the thing on my Debian powered shitbox, and it's very cozy to use.
I didn't have internet until 2007, So this is interesting to me, because in a lot of ways it was similar to what I remember, but in some ways it isn't. Also I enjoy your tech videos, including ones like this just going over some old OS, it's backstory, and how it works.
D12 - My Band.exe 🤣 those were the days
It's hilarious that Microsoft had to settle, since they, Xerox, and Apple had used the term "windows" generically before trying to trademark that as a product (and good on Lindows lawyers for pointing that out to the judge).
Honestly if MS didnt sue them and all the stores didnt stop selling them, this might give Windows some serious competition to Linux. When most people thought of linux, they immeditaley turned it down because they knew it was hard to set up and wouldnt work with any of their apps, but if this still exsisted and people bought it Linux could be at a lot higher market share
The sand Lindows has a very grunge or nu metal album cover vibe i feel
The reaction to the start up music LMFAO
Fun fact: The Lindows Forum was involved in a stage of the Half-Life 2 hack (Axel Gembe recalled hacking the forum in an interview, although i dont remember if it was him personally)
I wonder what Lindows is based on, obviously the programs were reskins (maybe? idk just looked like old KDE to me) of KDE and similar programs like Audacious. It feels like every other wants to be windows linux os, trying to get as close with structure to the original. Also we didnt check out Linspire in this video, thought it looks more bog standard then Lindows.
Knoppix 3.x was just around the corner from this one. I recognized KDE immediately because of familiarity with this. PHLAK was also a fighter. It's hard to believe there were so many exciting alternatives out there during the Morpheus/KaZaA era. I'm still not sure how teen me managed to wrestle WinPE into some survivable competition to Reatogo/ERD let alone skip most of these to work on writing loaders for SLAX. The Internet was a very different place back then and so were these distros.
Simpler. Easier. Cleaner. Less resolution though. I didn't even get to widescreen until 2016. What a life.
imao that ceo of lindow is a legend for beating all those lawsuits
Amazing! I want to hate it because he sells FOSS but the fact that he won against MS is incredible hahaha
And I mean there was some work done to package the distro. Very cool
I still refuse to stream music. I have a 128GB SD card in my phone full of music (mostly FLAC+.cue CD images, but also a lot of my old iTunes stuff and assorted other downloads).
alright not bad i personally like to stream as they can bring new songs into my life that i wouldnt have known about though
this brings me back to high school i used to use lindows in college
I clicked on the video under the assumption that the title was unfinished
That start up sound was incredible 😩
I love how it even had a Winamp clone.
