Windows 11 has gotten worse since making this video in a number of ways. I didn't bother incorporating any new stuff about it here simply because I've largely gotten tired of Windows, but I have noted an important detail here that Luna had been undergoing development during the prime of Windows 98 Gold's release, and looks partially similar to the final incarnation (and still just as terrible).

I agree, I thought they promised to stop making windows when that abomination called Windows 10 was still mainstream.

nice video

A while back, I came across a set of really cheesy shorts from Microsoft that outdoes their poor taste of humor that they're usually known for, like the Windows 7 "launch parties", MS-DOS 5 and Windows/386 raps, and Microsoft Home promos. Those shorts are collectively called "XPTV". They were on Microsoft's website a month prior to Windows XP's launch, and when I found out about them, we knew they were a fitting addition to the intro here. They are the absolute worst pieces of advertising Microsoft (or any technology company) has ever conceived, hands down.

The thing about blatantly bad commercials is that they tend to be funny, like "EAST HIIIILLS 4 BACK 2 SCHOOOOOOOL!" XPTV was not.

Kugee: Sadly enough, as of the time I am typing this I might have to reinstall my Windows Server Insider Preview installation which is basically Windows 11 with insignificantly less bloat back to something like Windows Server 2019 since it is running very sluggish for no good reason and this HPee gayming cannot take anything lower than build 1809

By the way that "Bugfix glare" emoticon definitely looks too much more like "Bugfix disappoint" but I do not know how to make it better in its 16 by 16 pixels canvas...

Come to think of it, is not there a downscaled version of normally drawn Bugfix emoticon in the guideline? Why did you redraw his emotions in the first place?

Nevermind, it turned out my installation of pirated MATLAB had a schedule to load itself in the background which tanked my PC. Also why was I sad to a frontend crap? And I think I could just call this waste of sand and oil "gayming" instead of "laptop" from now on
