    With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

    It was somehow fun.

    But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It’s probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

      That’s a good point, yes. At least we knew what fucked up. Today you can’t. It’s too much and too complex. And nearly nothing is under your direct control anymore. Only android or ios are doing it worse and take all of your controls away.
