DesertFOXUsing a virtual 386SX 25 MHz and WfW 3.11, I recently tried to install StarOffice 3.1 from 1996. And while this one still has an official 16-bit version, it did feel completely out of place on that system.
Seriously! The setup process, installing from CD-ROM, took nearly an hour to complete and consumed almost 100MB of harddisk space. Opening the applications, like StarWriter or StarCalc, feels extremely sluggish and their user interfaces looks super overcrowded with multiple levels of toolbars and useless internet tools everywhere.
Useless complaints in 2025? "Yes", but also "No". It shows how the entire software industry simply forgot how to use system resources efficiently as soon as the hardware limitations were lifted. Today, even simple programs or games often require hundreds of megabytes of disk space! I still cannot be made to believe this is acceptable.
Have a great sunday everyone!
