I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.
With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

ReactOS Newsletter 103 – Late 2023 News
ReactOS is sometimes very disappointing. Take the issue with toolbar icons, for example. Toolbar icons in at least Office 97, Office 2000 and Visual Basic 6 were affected, as was some game [0]. Microsoft Office is a complex Win32 application, making it a good guinea pig for testing compatibility. And yet, this was fixed a few months ago, and the Office bug was reported in 2016 [1]. The bug with no text wrapping for tray balloons is also an embarrassing thing to have lingering for years (I assume it was like this since the balloons were first implemented in ReactOS).
Does the world really need a buggy Windows Server 2003 reimplementation? I think the efforts of the development team could be better spent elsewhere.

Microsoft Edge is starting to annoy me big time
Anyone tried ReactOS recently? Supposed to be a clean-room FOSS Windows NT compatible OS.

It's still on my TODO. Mostly cause my parents want XP back.

Windows 9x and Word 9x at 800x600 resolution. Spacious. Comfy
> It's whitespace. There's wayyyy too much god damn whitespace in modern UIs, and it's awful.
I wanted to see how LibreOffice would compare on my netbook, and frankly it's better than the new Word, but still "worse" than the old version: https://i.imgur.com/cWGYh3M.png
That said, at least LibreOffice lets you have your custom themes and actually offers a variety of different interface layouts, which I think is a nice touch: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/User_interface
> Windows 7 with the Classic theme (which really was just a slight evolution over Win2K) was peak UI/UX, and you'll never change my mind. It's been downhill ever since, getting worse and worse with each generation.
To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with this. That's also why I rather enjoyed the Redmond theme even in *nix distros. There's just something so very usable about the old Windows look and more modern attempts, such as SerenityOS https://serenityos.org/ and even ReactOS https://reactos.org/

Why is There Still No Drag & Drop Feature for the Task Bar?
I don't know, but yeah, he's right, they could have done it easily. I posted it in another response in the thread but https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix has existed for ages now and it's a completely seamless fix save for a minor visual issue. If MS wanted to, they could have just baked in this fix with an update months ago. They hide behind the rewrite, but plain and simple a seamless 3rd party fix has been around for ages, MS could have done it in a week tops if they wanted to, likely an afternoon or, once again, just use the fix directly and bake it into the next update. There is no non-intentional reason for it still not being implemented.
