root42Oh, there is a new version of MS DOS out: Version 6.0! Let us upgrade from version 5.0!
And MS DOS 6 comes with memmaker, to free up that conventional memory! It worked pretty well, I would say!
Rob Fahrni@root42 I absolutely LOVED the old file manager. I’m sure it would feel awful today but I was bummed when Windows 95 came out. I preferred the old Win 3.1 UI.
In fact I also worked on Windows NT 3.51 — which was extremely solid and one of my favorite OS releases — and it had the old UI. Loved that darned OS.
@fahrni NT 3.51 was a very solid OS, that's true. I worked more with NT 4, though. It had support for more stuff. I used Win95 alongside OS/2 Warp 3 for a while. Then Windows 98 for some time. Windows 2000 was the last Windows I used at home. Afterwards it was all Linux and macOS for me.
@root42 What Linux distribution do you use? The last time I used Linux I was using Ubuntu, in 2009. It’s been a while. 😁
TobiX@fahrni @root42 Microsoft released the file manager (WINFILE.EXE) as open source some way back (https://github.com/microsoft/winfile) and someone modernized it: https://github.com/brianluft/heirloom
