No, it's the opposite. 7 is quicker than both XP and Vista. Vista would have been quicker than XP except that they made some assumptions on how users would use their system which turned out to be wrong; the end result was a virtual memory system that was too conservative and a search indexing system that was too aggressive, both of which combined into a perfect storm of near-constant disk access even when idle.
That MS PC pic shows a 3.5" floppy, maybe MS are coming on-board at Vintage-Computer?
Maybe for Win9 I can donate my 8" Floppy and 8" HDD for them? Actually, they might have advanced then enough to handle the Paper Tape Readers :D
IIRC all you needed to do in win 9x to get full screen with a lot of dos programs is atler the programs *.pif file. Some programs wouldn't wear this though so win9x gave you the option to run from dos direct. Of course this involved a few system restarts.Wouldn't surprise me.
I mean they did away with full screen / split screen apps in Windows 2. Then they did away with a full screen program launcher in Windows 95.
Then they bring back both in Windows 8! :D They're going in reverse.
(side note, MS has announced start menu will be in an upcoming W8 update )
Yeah, One of the things I really hated when I went from 98 to Vista was that my old apps would not open full screen and only in a small window
These are Win32 Console mode programs, not DOS programs.
Sorry, I missed that part.
Full screen console/text mode won't be available in Vista/7 by default. The only way its possible is if you are running an older XP video driver that does not support WDDM/Aero.
They forgot the "Your computer will self-destruct in 10 seconds" part:
