Windows 2000 was succestor of Windows NT, not 98 line. In Windows 2000 Microsoft did great work on debugging system and drivers. Final version was Servis pack 7.
It wasn't until Windows XP that they used the NT technology. One of the good things about NT is that they got rid of segmentation with paging in memory management. They started using the so called flat memory model. Only one code segment, one data segment and one stack segment, and all of them are actually the same: it starts at memory address 0 and extends all the way to the end of physical memory.
The problem with Windows NT was... programs didn't support it. When Windows XP was released, it created massive incompatibilities with programs, especially with MS-DOS based applications. I will never understand why Windows XP didn't have the option to dual boot into DOS mode in 2001. Windows XP Home Edition was literally the worst Windows ever to be released. No domain login support and no backwards compatibility like Windows 98 and ME had.
@@judenihal They had to draw the line somewhere. Forgetting about segmentation and using only paging for memory management made it very hard, and sometimes even impossible, to keep backwards compatibility. Intel and AMD still have segmentation in their CPUs today, but only for 32-bit code trying to aid in keeping compatibility so you can run old 32-bit operating systems on them. In 64-bit code segmentation has never been supported.
@@angelanavarrete3864 They did it way too abruptly. Windows XP should have had a DOS edition so that you can dual boot and run DOS and 16 bit applications natively. I remember the nightmare I had when upgrading my brand new computer from Windows ME to Windows XP back in 2002. Even Windows 2000 drivers and applications did not work well with Windows XP. That's how bad it was. I only started to see Windows XP mature as a usable operating system when they released SP1.

NT and 2k were real good (stable) for corporates or any serious computing, yet 95/98/Me were abs. trash commercials (for home computing) : a disasterous hybrid of 16-bit core and 32-bit GUI APIs... Anyway XP and 7 are prob. the best for commercial use, and 10 and 11 got closest to accomplish the task, however, lately on a fading market...

@@judenihal Not necessarily "servers" only, NT was the most important software project for Microsoft to accomplish since it was founded. And all subsequent 2k, XP, 7, 8, 10, 11 were all based on NT architecture... As you may know, in the beginning there were only DOS based MS-DOS, and ms-dos based Windows 1, 2, 3 which were fake protected mode OSs based on 16-bit ms-dos kernels. These are real mode (see intel real-mode) based operating systems (with pos. exc. of win3.x), which cannot take full advantage of 32-bit features already existing in the intel CPU's since 1986... So NT was written from ground up as an 32-bit OS to support full 32-bit protected mode features of the intel CPUs back then...

@@mikemayo4812 To be fair, to be fair. Windows has really simplied itself to "there was a problem that you don't understand, so restarting now"
@@mikemayo4812 try playing modern games, using modern apps for gamers and you'll see one.
Yikes you are subbed to mr.beast
BSOD is getting famous again lol
We actually now got a higher quality copy of the famous Windows 98 BSOD at COMDEX in April 1998.
I know, it's beautiful. I wonder if someone will release the full Windows 98 Presentation?
Imagine daisy chaining 127 USB devices even today... I swear it wouldn't work
It's better than millennium and vista version..
Yeah these are worth the money
Stop
Why does everybody have a Problem with Windows ME and Vista?
Windows ME was absolutely great even though its reputation is absolutely dead ever since it existed and Windows Vista was also a great OS if your Hardware could handle it.
@@appleleptiker I never had a problem with windows ME
I hade a problem with windows Vista with it Blue screening the computer every time I tried to play Puyo Pop Fever on PC
Not better than Vista but it's better than Me and 8
Me dá risa como Bill se quedó paralizado con la misma cara y posición jajajajajaja
Nevertheless, this version was not bad. I used many Windows versions. The worst were Me, Vista, and 8. The best - XP and mostly 7.
For me Longhorn the best was Longhorn. And the worst is 11...
Me - Garbage, I agree here
Vista - Very good, dont hate on Vista just because of other people and because companies were lazy and didnt make new or good drivers for Vista, and that hardware was too old, sure the launch was terrible, but the os it's self (with proper drivers and SP2) isn't
8 - I can kinda see why people hate 8 because not everyone likes having fullscreen start menu, but I personally like it and never minded it, Windows 8.* is my second most favourite os in the Windows familly, Windows 7 being nr one
@@vlOd_yt сидите на старом дрревнем барахле и кайфуете. Ладно, но здесь и души никакой то и нет.
@@carlitoslug Why the worst is 11 in your opinion?
What's bad about Windows 10? I think it's a straight up upgrade to Windows 7.

I bet the poor presenter was at 1000 heart beats per second after that fail, props to him not dying!
The blunder didn't negatively impact Capossela, though, who went on to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Microsoft until his departure in 2023.
Windows from mid 90s to early 2000s were really are legendary OSs
NT and 2k were real good (stable) for corporates or any serious computing, yet 95/98/Me were abs. trash commercials (for home computing) : a disasterous hybrid of 16-bit core and 32-bit GUI APIs... Anyway XP and 7 are prob. the best for commercial use, and 10 and 11 got closest to accomplish the task, however, lately on a fading market...
@@4thesakeofitname Windows ME was great and Windows 95 was also huge. So what are you on about?
Also... Could you stop with that "abs." and "prob." like are you too lazy to press a few keys on a keyboard?
@@4thesakeofitname Windows NT was designed for servers and every release of Windows used the end user, personal and corporate was built on DOS. The only time corporations used NT Workstation was to run Windows-only applications and high end software which require stability and reliability. Most computer users at the time didn't use their computers for CAD or graphics design, so it was cheaper to deploy Windows 98 on work computers.
@@appleleptiker Anyone calling winME (or Vista) as a great OS should be jailed... :-)) Now, get off kdeboy, I don't wanna waste a single prec. sec. with you... ;-) And don't ever try teaching me lang., or math. or s.ware...ok!
@@judenihal Not necessarily "servers" only, NT was the most important software project for Microsoft to accomplish since it was founded. And all subsequent 2k, XP, 7, 8, 10, 11 were all based on NT architecture... As you may know, in the beginning there were only DOS based MS-DOS, and ms-dos based Windows 1, 2, 3 which were fake protected mode OSs based on 16-bit ms-dos kernels. These are real mode (see intel real-mode) based operating systems (with pos. exc. of win3.x), which cannot take full advantage of 32-bit features already existing in the intel CPU's since 1986... So NT was written from ground up as an 32-bit OS to support full 32-bit protected mode features of the intel CPUs back then...
Blue Screen Of Death made me sick for years when I was trying to play my favorite games and one moment after I click on the executable game file I got this...
I don't know how many devices he actually had hooked up, but an oldschool USB hub would likely bluescreen the O/S if any one of the devices had a fault. These are not routers, these are probably just P to S convertors or even just P to P convertors.
On point with the global IT outbreak! 😂
This is happened today, just nobody not laughed: 4.400 flights cancelled... thanks Bill, again...

Jajaja que locura, pero que gente tan ambiciosa, se lanzaron al mercado sin nada en las manos, se lanzaron al vacío sin paracaídas de respaldo y lo terminaron fabricando en el aire. Eso es de admirar
Напомнило старый анекдот.
На стройку собирается приехать комиссия. Прораб инструктирует рабочих:
- Что бы ни случилось, делайте вид, что так и должно быть.
Комиссия приехала, осматривает. Вдруг рухнула одна стена. Рабочий, радостно посмотрев на часы:
- 10:35. Точно по графику!
ахахахха
Много е добро, браво!
😆😆
Love to see how cool the boss besides employee when a shit thing happens like that.
just incredible just how bill gates and the guy reaccts like no proble lest try again
At that time, the penguin did not yet exist, otherwise he would laugh a lot at this situation.
If you are talking about Linux, wasnt it created in 1991?
Ram : nah dawg i give up
The old times when Bill Gates was IT guy not a doctor talking about Covid and diseases all the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if his vaccines work just like that windows98 🤣🤣🤣
yes
pandemics 24/7 + malaria as gift
man so rich he bought his way into medicine
... and not buying up massive amounts of US farmland.
so the plastic all the devices were build with was indeed yellow!?
No.
Just blame ABS plastic for that!

bill gates laughs to avoid murdering guy xD
Ah yes Bill Gates avoids murdering the guy that was just doing a presentation of the OS that... Bill Gates made.
Tipically Windows!
Windows: you need at least 64GB RAM and intel core i7.
Linux: you need electricity (optional)
This is still amusing after so many years of crappy Windows OS from 95 to Windows 11.
I'm fired aren't I?
Oh yes.
You know... Bill Gates is an absolute dick. But I doubt that he would fire people because his OS isn't able to run normally.
Gates standing there like "I'll still make
billions off this steaming piece of shit software"
Make a better one yourself. I'm grateful for Bill's efforts. And I owe many things to windows since 20+ years ago. My ancesters had nothing and I am blessed to use this.
@@truthteller3024 I actually do make things for a living and put a lot of effort into making them reliable. And, I use Windows every day of my life and am constantly cursed by asinine decisions on a product that I paid money for that doesn't simply things like it's supposed to.
@@RedfishCarolina What is your specific use of Windows? I am content with Windows for multitude of things that I use in it. I always do my research to learn the curve and don't blame it on the machine.
Pretty good first impression to the public. 🙂
You late man!

@@yousefslimani99Nah, I think 25 years is an acceptable time limit for being late
Ah Windows 98, I was on the beta for that one.
I never had the sort of problems a lot of people talk about with it.

Still one of my favorite videos of all time.
Windows 10 is the only version that I've never experienced a BSOD from Windows itself. I did experience it once because of NVIDIA's official drivers, which they acknowledged and issued a hotfix.
I’ve gotten it a few times from plugging in a USB dongle repeatedly lol

@@kxmode That's actually not a Windows failure. About half a year ago I mistook my passwords and entered my e-mail password in the bios (3 times). Since then, the bios splash screen always appears on reboot, and hangs on this screen when installing updates. That's why I haven't installed a single Windows update for a few months.

Gates was thinking horrible thoughts. Lol
Imagine if Microsoft didn't bought all rival companies to reach monopoly, how good OSs we would have today. Less Edson and more Westinghouse, folks...
the PC market would probably look like android today. some company will emerge as the de facto developer of an open-source project and apple will continue living in its walled garden.
You mean, like Linux distros that had some features 10 years before Windows?
i hope the computer had a ssd to restart quickly
