So you spend 200 megabytes of memory to run a 120 megabyte binary to run an operating system that was distributed on diskettes and could be run on 8 MB of memory?
Such progress. |

128mb in size sounds about right.
This is a clean installation with only S3 Virge, Voodoo2 & SB AWE32 drivers installed. |

I still use my Win95 machine. She fell over a couple of years ago and I had to fix the hard drive but she still runs fine. She has a clever SWAP Bay that lets me insta switch hard drives. I mean 3GB was big in those days. She sits next to my Win98 machine which also works without fault. The Win98 machine is still the only computer I have ever owned that actually caught on fire. The PSU went up in flames and took out the loom, hard drive, motherboard and PSU. Took me a while to find exact same replacement parts but I did and she's been just fine ever since. That was 2010. I used the Win95 from 96-2000 and the Win98 from 2000 to 2008 and both were on dialup.
Whilst not a fan of Windows I have found the OS essential for all my software. This Win7 machine fell over last year and having bought the junk that is Win10 I used that DeLL machine for one week before just having to repair the Win7 machine. Sadly Win7 is where it ends for me. ... I really don't do glorified telephones. By the way what is an App ? ... is that like a program icon. Don't have a mobile, never have. I also don't emulate .. like anything. Easier to use the proper kit. And surprise I have a PS/1 ... IBM with Win3.1 and a 5.25" floppy and no apps. http://www.scuzzscink.com/amiga/scuz...ril18_2802.htm scuzz http://www.scuzzscink.com/amiga/scuzzblog.htm |

A Win3.1 machine with no applications? That's funny, I am sure there where several builtin apps such as Write, Paintbrush, Calculator, etc. Did you delete all of them and now just stare at that ugly desktop. |

The developer did apologise for releasing this.
Its basically a showcase of the technology behind it, not so much to be of use. I for one am impressed. |

Need a Win98 app for Android. I'd love Civ2 on my Note8.

Scandisk and defrag complete, strangely satisfying.
Hopefully wine for android improves beyond where it is now. Last edited by breech; 11 September 2018 at 15:19. |

I prefer Workbench any day over Win 95/98.Much faster and far better multitasking.

Yep, I was a call centre tech support guy back in the 90s. I managed to install Windows 95 on a DX2-66 with 4MB RAM. I even got it online. I'm sure I only had 21 floppies..... but it was so long ago... I'm also sure that my HDD was something ridiculous, like 110MB, or 230MB, or some other bizarre capacity. |
