How do you COPE with this, Windows 10 users?

Man knowledgeable with susbject, has removed EVERYTHING from Windows 7, resulting in a setup of mandatory GUI parts, GPU driver

There is no sound, no support for video decode/encode process.

The desktop appears and the genuine check remains intact.

It says "this Windows copy is not legal" on small font on the lower right.

kill yourself reddit master

Why would I kill myself? Here's my reasoning on why I wouldn't:

If I live, there's always a chance of having good feels.
If I die there is zero chance of having good feels.
Easy choice to not kill self.

well, actually,
what's WINE even running off?

>>107094329
WINE just translates windows API calls to ones the OS it is running on can handle, it's not actually running Windows.

>>107094146 (OP)
Now imagine how small you could get Windows 95, knowing that its iso was over ten times smaller than 7's.

Also, it must be asked: what useless shit was added to modern Windows to make it so fucking big?

>>107094349
so it... EM-U-LATES Windows?

yeah wine doesnt actually use windows kernel or windows gui components

only translation of win API into Linux API

APIs are essential for any OS, they arent interchangeable between OSes (most of the time) but a translation layer like WINE has been made

besides the API calls, programs in Windows and Linux are pretty same, as in how do they instruct a CPU to do something

both linux and windows programs are just compiled pile of x86-64 instructions (this in itself is not yeat an API)

>Windows 95

First version of Windows 95 (floppy disk release, no Internet explorer) took only 50 megabytes of space

It run with 4MB of memory (this was the minimum amount)

Windows 2000 requires 64MB RAM, its more complicated but fits in 600MB through NORMAL means, I dont know if anyone tried to force it into small size.

Taking Win 2000 into account and the fact that Win 95 did fit in 50MB, probably removing all programs from win95 (except a GUI and file explorer) would make it go in 10 megabytes or something.

Win95 DOES NOT come with networking capabilities built into kernel, they are separate package that infact can be removed. Later windowsis supposed to have network integrated onto it.

Ok.
