Heh, Windows Millennium Edition. Just seeing those three words together conjures up memories of driver issues, bloatware, and blue screened instability.
And now it's time to give it another look as its 20th anniversary approaches! Personally, I hadn't used it in around eighteen years, so I was wondering how accurate my own bad memories of it were. Especially since I ran it on a cheaply-manufactured Compaq Presario back then.
After playing around with it this week on far more reliable hardware, it got me wondering... was it really THAT bad? Or were my problems perhaps more the fault of my hardware and software configuration two decades ago?
So yeah, that's what this video is all about! Kind of along the same lines as what I did with Microsoft Bob a while back: taking a look at what many say is one of the biggest failures in the software industry ever and seeing if it lives up to its reputation. It's got history, an unboxing of a brand new copy, the installation process, demonstration of key features, and of course playing and benchmarking some games for both DOS and Windows. Hope you enjoy, stay safe out there!
