oh right progressively worse operating systems since winblows 98 SE are an improvement. top kek kid.

>>2513789
dude fuck off with your gnu linux circlejerk

>>2513809
jesus christ you're just as bad as those retards into politics. Just cause I don't think winblows is on the same level it used to be doesn't mean I am a unix fanboy. Just cause I am not a retarded faggot communist does not mean I am a "conservative". How stupid are you people, how do you go through life?

>>2513760
eh, it's been downhill since windows 7.

It's too bad Linux is so awful, otherwise i'd switch.

>>2513848
replace 7 with 98se and you are correct. XP was a small step up from the huge drop after 98 but it crashed even harder after that. I am using windows 7 right now and it's shit. It's the best option available and the best OS but just because its better than even worse shit doesn't mean its not shit. Contrary to what one of these simpletons would like to believe >>2513809. If you don't suck the dick of a shitty version of windows you're a unix fanboy.

>>2513378
>>2512890
both of you are complete retards, fuck off

So should I do the free Win 10 upgrade?

Heard Win 10 is nothing but the ultimate NSA spybox :S

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He, combined with Warren Buffet, have donated at least $30B for charity.

Fun fact, Steve Jobs only gave $1.1M of his fortune to charity.

>>2513868
bill has always been a bigger baller than jobs. Steve jobs is a glorified shill.

>>2513878

Was.

>>2513862
>he thinks he has any privacy

Yeah, you have the RIGHT to privacy, but everything you've ever done of any significance has been recorded - the gov't knows where you live, can track your purchases to see where you go, knows where you work and your income, and that's just through the basic paperwork you submit to them without any warrants or search procedures needed since you voluntarily gave up that information.

That said, I don't think they're going to give a shit how often you visit /d/ to jerk off to diaper-wearing dickgirls.

>>2513868
Apparently he's only gonna give his kids a million each and give the rest to charity, kek.

What a dick. If I was his kids I'd be fucking pissed. Fuck that shit, AT LEAST give me a fucking billion you bastard.

Well he did make Pixar exist.

>>2514025

More of a school shooter costume. Kind of prescient considering the time the video was made.

>>2514026

Yay?

>>2513858
>I am using windows 7 right now and it's shit

You're not impressing anyone by hating on something just cause it's recent, kid.

>>2514026
That's a funny way of spelling George Lucas.

And Job's contribution was to turn them into a failed computer manufacturer. Then Disney bought them out and turned them into an animation studio, of which Job's was happy to take 5% and do fuck-all with it except cash in the dividends.

So again, thanks for nothing, Jobs.

>"... to clean up this DOS mess..."
I didn't feel anything was particularly messy with DOS, though.
Was very reluctant in switching over to Win95 and felt it was pretty unnecessary, especially since I would have to upgrade the PC to be able to run the games on it.

>>2517209
Messy for the developers.

>>2517209
I agree, progress isn't always a good thing.

>>2517209
>felt it was pretty unnecessary
had the same thoughts. >>2518961
although i won't say that progress and/or win95 itself isn't a good thing. it's just that there wasn't any perceived benefit of switching.

if it was intended to make it easier for developers, it surely isn't apparent to end users especially when it was dos' golden age.
games already look fantastic on the dos and win95 exclusive games doesn't look all that better, in fact most of the early win95 exclusive games looked worse. you would need a much better pc to be able to run win95 and even moreso for the games normally runnable on dos anyway, so there's really little reason to invest on it unless you have free money to spare.

Also, Eric Harris was an avid Windows 95 user, along with Doom95. Pic related.

It probably looked better to folks who wanted to navigate a GUI, and a combination of advertising and heavily encouraged upgrading prodded developers into releasing games for it.

My friend told me American peanut butter is like that stuff you get in Reese's cups, is that true?

>>2513868
Really when you have as much money as he does it becomes literally impossible to spend it. So what do you do when you seemingly have an infinite amount of income. Just give it away. Once you cover your living expenses and everything you want what can you possibly do with all the extra money?

>>2520076
Yes, and funnily enough the parasites such as people from Monsanto and similar corporations aren't far away from these "charities". They talk about helping the "starving children" while making money for themselves.

>>2512890
For DOOM and other DOS games people got better frames in DOS since it uses less system resources

>>2519437
They are nothing alike. I don't even know what they do with the peanut butter in Reese's because that shit is like chalk compared to the peanut butter you buy in stores.

>>2519192

I bet Steve Jobs couldn't do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ

>>2513868
Am I supposed to be surprised Jobs was a terrible human being? That's pretty much common knowledge, though he kind of got what he deserved in the end due to his own foolish decisions regarding how to treat his cancer.

>>2519308
Sierra obviously one of the pioneers eager to jump aboard.
Even their DOS games at that time have drop down menu bars and windows. And their Windows 3.1 games were just ports of their DOS versions.

>>2512842
Bill was MLG af, to bad he died of cancer. ;(

No, nothing edgy about it.

It's like saying it's edgy when someone who pokes a bear with a stick gets mauled and you say "Yeah that's what was gonna happen and he brought it on himself."

>>2531106

As I have it understood Jobs just didn't give a shit about beating his cancer anymore. He knew he was going to die and wasn't interested in treating it.

>>2530207
They spent 2.5 billions dollars on Minecraft.
Imagine all the exclusives games they could have bought or made with that money for the xbox.

>>2531202
Well, that's his business then.

I can still hate him for other things, such as wanting to remove cooling units from computers for the longest time.

>>2531271
Imagine if they actually supported Windows as a game platform instead of treating Xbox like a golden child. Then again, I don't think Windows could actually compete properly with Sony, so I assume it's imperative that the Xbox exists. After all, those console ports from 7th gen came to be because the PS3 was hilariously underwhelming in sales, and Sony lost their iron grip.

>tfw you are just old enough to remember the GOAT Windows startup theme

>>2531202
When he was first diagnosed, his cancer was on a treatable state, but he decided still to use alternative treatments instead, it got worse an killed him.

>XP was a small step up from the huge drop after 98 but it crashed even harder after that.

If you turned off the Playskool theming, XP was just like 98 minus the daily crashes/reboots/BSODs.

About 2 years, but I guess you have to deduct the 3 months I spent in a psychiatric facilty afterwards.
