      That’s kind of overwhelming to me. It’s like there’s no bottom to that rabbit hole. I love it and I have so many questions.

        How? Using Internet since more than 25 Years result in only ignoring the most new pages.

    Looks like ads in the start menu aren’t anything new.

    Edit: I’m dumb, but I’m leaving my comment here.

    windows has normalized all that shit so well that this image is genuinely disturbing compared to the win 11 start menu. I am glad my windows days ended years ago

    You could substantially de-uglify XP with a different theme, but, damn…that ugly

    Since at that time these shits weren’t really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel… kinda modern? If that makes sense… (tho when I first saw XP after using 95 and 98 in my life at that point, it felt absolutely super-duper modern x3)

    I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don’t like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.

      Given that this was the prime time for Bonzi Buddy, I’m inclined to say I agree with you. People chose these things years ago, because it added more to the experience outside of “here is your word processor, here is notepad, here are the three games you have to play”.

        And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅

        Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.

      I remember seeing AOL on Win3.11 (I had been using telnet, pine, lynx.) and it looked like a bunch of spam ads.

    It’s missing filling the start bat with a massive Copilot box and weather/news widget. Or maybe missed an opportunity to make Clippy the AI assistant.

    I love-hate it.

    I preferred Yahoo Messenger to Windows solely due to the ROTFLMAO emoji… it kicked ass. Made me giggle every time I used it.
