I much more enjoyed a subsequent video which YouTube presented:
'Upgrading From Windows 1.0 to Windows 8 On Actual Hardware' <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WP7AkJo3OE>
The guy goes from Windows 1.01 all the way to Windows 8.1 (Preview),
via
Windows 2.03
Windows 3.0
Windows 3.1
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
It's way too long (1:14:15) to watch, but the idea is quite fun.
They say when you are about to die, your life experiences flash by your
eyes. This was like a preview of that. At this rate, it's going to be a slow, arduous and excruciatingly dull death. (I missed out on Win Me, so
I'm thankful for small mercies.)

So far, it appears to be mostly the GUI, with the underlying apps/programs/control panel applets/ &c still being an unglodly mix of Win10+Win8+Win7, ..., XP

I don't know why there is so much said against Windows Me.
I didn't find it any worse than Windows 98.

As an aside ....
Do you consider installing and running www.ClamXav.com to be risky?
that didn't take long for you to try to derail the thread.
your existence is what's risky.

Did you expect anything else?
Windows hasn't fundamentally changed since Windows 7. It's all just a
skinning exercise so that the vendors can sell more hardware which
supports the 'new' windows.
Actually, yes, and it still might happen since this is an early look-see
at just the current GUI update direction and not the foundational
changes.
What I suspect is that they will make significant
infrastructure changes that will put everything behind a pay wall, just
like Apple, disallowing sideloading of non- Windows Store software.

I'm asking for your opinion of the wisdom of installing a non-Apple >>>>>> approved software package onto an Apple computer.
no you're not. you're trolling, as you usually do.

this thread is *not* about apple, none of the many groups it's

wildly unhealthy, to where you repeatedly ask about it for no apparent >>>>> reason.
Much easier if you were to simply give your opinion on ClamXav
Have you EVER installed it on YOUR computer(s)?
you've asked that 18 bazillion times before. probably more.
Quote relevant MIDs
don't pretend that you never asked about it before.
follow the footsteps of your kid and go away forever.
That comment is in /really/ bad taste. :-(
yes it is, and intentionally so.
Did YOU break this link? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kqytf31a8E
the link is not broken and it's even less relevant than your fucked up obsession with clamxav.

I've never heard of it... I used to work for Apple Care tech support,
and we recommend everyone install a free program, now called
MalwareBytes for Mac.
that is bad advice.
Thank you, Michael. Apple Support have often mentioned to me the
advantages of running the 'free' version of Malwarebytes for Apple.
Yeah, I had no problems with ME, always wondered what the hell everyone
was bellyacking about, Only ever had 1 or 2 blue screens throughout its
life. :-)

Mr. MacOS guy.
If you used Windows once in a while, it would help ya know.
Maybe we could ask the server admin for a new group entitled:
alt.david-brooks.help-my-shoes-are-on-backwards
Ooooh! You are a card, Paul! :-)
Here am I responding accordingly. Please will you confirm that I'm
fully up-to-date?
Microsoft Windows Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1052)
Thank you.
The user agent doesn't hint at patchlevel.
The Avast in the signature is a nice touch and
it looks like your Avast is up to date.
