What’s it called when you backport modern features to retro systems like this mockup? I swear there’s a word for this…
Retroshittification
Backtrackarrhea
Backport-a-potty
oh my god brilliant
🤣💀
It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that
Be the change you wish to see in the world

Ok…someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.
Demake?
I think you’re looking for “anachronism”: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists.
I’d call it techlapse
I like THIS Windows
That’s kind of overwhelming to me. It’s like there’s no bottom to that rabbit hole. I love it and I have so many questions.
Woah cool website, I don’t how’d you know about this but thanks you
How? Using Internet since more than 25 Years result in only ignoring the most new pages.
Nice, even moving the computer into the trash worked as expected.
Even a community in GitHub with forks, mods and plug-ins.
I love this, I wasted so much time on my phone. The Playstation start up sound was amazing. I need to open it on a conputer
Half-Life 3 confirmed
Oh yeah, that’s gooooood…
Vulve is my favourite company. Can’t wait for their new game store, stamp, to come out!
The Doom (Gafa 3D) really works like the original, with some “differences”.
The little shield next to the turn off computer icon implying it’ll update it without asking is a nice touch
Looks like ads in the start menu aren’t anything new.
Edit: I’m dumb, but I’m leaving my comment here.
Surfing away with an administrator account.
Trying to teach my in-laws not to do that was impossible.
Maybe it was just easier to install those browser bars as admin.
That is the sole reason the UAC exists in post-Vista Windows.
windows has normalized all that shit so well that this image is genuinely disturbing compared to the win 11 start menu. I am glad my windows days ended years ago
What the fuck is wrong with you… No… Don’t you dishonor my house like that…
Thanks, I threw up a little.
Those msn searches 🤣
You could substantially de-uglify XP with a different theme, but, damn…that ugly
Which one, black or silver?
Homestead
No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.
Since at that time these shits weren’t really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel… kinda modern? If that makes sense… (tho when I first saw XP after using 95 and 98 in my life at that point, it felt absolutely super-duper modern x3)
I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don’t like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.
Given that this was the prime time for Bonzi Buddy, I’m inclined to say I agree with you. People chose these things years ago, because it added more to the experience outside of “here is your word processor, here is notepad, here are the three games you have to play”.
And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅
Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.
I remember seeing AOL on Win3.11 (I had been using telnet, pine, lynx.) and it looked like a bunch of spam ads.
Thanks!
I hate it.
Some Microsoft exec somewhere: “WRITE THAT DOWN”
They will distribute this image and say: “See? It has always been this way…”
I preferred Yahoo Messenger to Windows solely due to the ROTFLMAO emoji… it kicked ass. Made me giggle every time I used it.
Yes!!!
It’s fantastic.
You missed out on hella custom emoticons. Had hundreds of "lol"s
Edit: and nudges lol
Did it kick the llama’s ass?
