          lets be honest, no-one is really "into" computers. if you are, youre a computer yourself (read: autist), which isn't a good thing. from the standpoint of nature, computers are a source of unbridled schizophrenic energy. a normal person exposed to computers will rapidly exhibit symptoms of mental illness, largely because a computer pretty much runs against all of nature's rules such action -> response (computer hangs frequently), doing the same thing yields the same reaction (buggy code), leaving the thing at rest results in no changes (32 bit timer overflows and next month your emails are gone).

          imagine a schizophrenic person. there are only two people who will be capable of having a conversation with him:
          - people who understand schizophrenia and are consequently very patient with them
          - other schizophrenics and schizo-adjacents (they see they're in good company)

          everyone else will be very quickly frustrated, get fed up/angry, possibly even become aggressive, but in general they will give up on them very quickly.

            I ran XP on 128mb of ram for most of the 2000s. The situation with web browsing got shittier as the years went by. You can imagine using IE back in 2001 when I first got the PC and for the couple of years after that. Then came Firefox and tabbed browsing, lots of tabs open. Websites still weren't that heavy back then and it was doable. I started spending lots of time on IQfy around 2005 and this site wasn't heavy either. I managed until I got a laptop with 512mb of ram around 2007.

            i will agree that the XP minimum official specs were not actually usable, i've tried XP on 64M ram when it was new and even then it was not worth using, you were much better off sticking to windows 98se/me
            xp boots to about 70-100M usage, 128M is usable for light usage, but i still held off until i got 256M, that is, you could get away with 128M, but it was still faster to use windows 98se/me. but the time 98se/me was getting too old to support new software, you should really have upgraded to 256M or more by that point

            XP:s are significantly different on memory usage by the version

            Non SP XP:
            64MB enough to fire up freecell or notepad or the like but DO NOT fire up a web browser (even the year 2003 web)

            XPSP1:
            128MB reqiored for the above mentioned tasks and you can perhaps open a web browser (internet explorer 7) for those 90s meme pages

            XPSP2:
            256MB is required to do the same you did in SP1 with half of that

            XPSP3 with zero updates:
            OS is not usable with less than 256MB and you really should have 384MB for comfy usage

            XPSP3 with many years of updates:
            2GB is minimum RAM

            i only used up to SP2 with such low ram
            most xp programs only require sp2, so if you have a low memory system, there's no reason to go beyond that, by the time i used sp3 i was well past the <1G ram era so i can't speak for how it differs
            it sounds more like you're describing how much ram you'd need for multi-tasking big program of the eras those packs came out, rather than how much extra ram XP itself used, because i don't recall a significant change in fresh install usage between them

            By this argument Windows 11 won't run comfortably with 64gb because you happen to have a 70b large language model taking up all the RAM. Of course if you run a ton of ram hungry applications the machine will get bogged down. But most people in 2006 didn't do that and their machines were very fast with 256mb. I'd say that included 95% of the computer using population at that time. Stop being a "well, actually" poster and realize that your experience was not typical at all

            Really depends on the year for your RAM claim. XP would run on 128mb and be perfectly usable before 2010. After that, programs and the web became too bloated.

            part of the reason vista ran dogshit is that it really required 128~256MB of VGA memory, this is the memory allocated in bios for internal graphics (like GRUB and tty for example), usually this spec is no longer relevant on newer laptops or PC since they since downgraded it to 64MB by the time windows 7 arrived though there is a difference with having larger VGA memory (allocated video memory) which is that it has smoother graphics, and can easily support multiple monitors without lagging, there's a reason why some more modern windows7 laptops chug at having 1366x768+projector, while vista-era ones handle 1920x1200p+projector+ext.monitor all too easily.

            better intel chips could handle that VGA memory allocation though most preinstalled-vista devices already came with a dedicated GPU, and only few laptops had option to change that setting (or lock 128/256 for 7 and later), and most people probably don't afford a dGPU at all.

            only the morons who upgraded with only having 32MB or 64MB VGA mem supported on bios had severe graphics regression issues, windows 7 did tone down the VGA mem requirements but in turn made compositor less smooth and fancy, this is also why upgrading a vista device to windows 7 actually makes GPU/compositor/game performance worse since the bios mem allocation may lock down to 64MB (as opposed to 256MB+ previously). the VGA mem isn't supposed to do anything other than allocate the bits for monitors' resolution (e.g, stitching monitors, aka bandwidth of bitdepths-colors-resolution but also window transparency). on windows 8 I think they upped it back to 128MB but still only few devices had option to change it, and on 8.1 it somewhat regressed or again lowered the requirements.

    Hard facts, Vista felt like the last Windows for people who actually knew how to personalize Windows.

    I miss it. In some ways it felt better to use than 7.

    I think Vista is the best looking OS ever made.

      Same, Mac OS X Leopard comes close for me. Snow Leopard looks great too but it was starting to go to flat shit by that point, you could see it in the app store and itunes icons.

          It was blue from like 10.0-10.4 Tiger

          I love Tiger too, but the reflective glass dock on Leopard is so cool.

        Microsoft should learn from Apple how to refactor their OS

        Leopard is a close second and Mavericks is a sort of distant third.

        QDOS *is* MS-DOS, it started as QDOS, was renamed to 86-DOS, then was purchased by Microsoft and renamed MS-DOS.

          And every version branded with the Microsoft name uses more RAM and storage.
