walked into this dodgy ass looking indian supermarket in the next suburb the other day and their registers are proudly displaying WINDOWS EFTPOS READY 2009!

ultimately they have less thefts from their store than any other major online business so yeah i think i prefer using businesses with obsolete equipment rather than brand new and leaky as a seive.

Best Windows ever was Windows 95, until Windows 7, which could be made to behave like Windows 95.

At that point, no other Windows versions were necessary; which made them switch to dual core bullshit, which is the only reason Windows 11 has sold even a single copy.

Then Microsoft pulls it's planned obsolescence bullshit vis-a-vis XBox X/S replacing XBox One S (which is the final meaningful XBox, even to this day). For proof: compare the code of games available in separate X/S & exclusive One versions:
Average huge game (such as RDR2 or GTA V or AC Valhalla) is around 100 gigs in size. X/S games are about the same, for games not specifically X/S or One: But the XBox One versions of the same X/S 100 gig games unplayable one One are about 20 gigs. Starfield is a criminal blunder that will fatally bite Microsoft in the ass, if they don't release an XBox One compatible version & the capacity to mod, toot suite.

Check this:
Medieval Dynasty:
X/S - 10.3 gigs
One - 4.9 gigs
Played X/S streaming: Minimal difference.

Now, this is the kicker:

Cyperpunk 2077:
original main game:
XBox One - 85 gigs
X/S - 85 gigs
+
Phantom Liberty:
X/S - 40 gigs
One - unplayable

BUT

Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition
(Cyberpunk & Phantom Liberty combined):
Initially:
X/S - 85 + 40 gigs
One - 26 gigs

However, since latest streamlining update:
X/S & One are identical.

Whether I didn't get the 26 gig version when i bought the combined version was or was not an accident will, once i install that hugemungous muthafukka, remain to be seen. But, so far, it's like the 16 bit Sega Genesis releasing games initially that were smaller than the last generation 8 bit Nintendo games.
Moreover: Have two Xbox One S 2 terabyte Gears of War 4 limited edition boxes, which were among the last of the One S's produced. So, maybe it's a fluke or maybe it's gonna be gefickt. We'll see.

But, yeah: Windows 7 imitating Windows 95 + DOS 6.5 FTW.
