I know it was one of you.

surely someone could turn this into some kinda Windows "daemon"

would be nice

>>107103140 (OP)
What are the system requirements? Does the entire baseline win32 api work?
Users, registry, processes, tokens, etc.? I assume OpenGL doesn't work, but what about WinGDI?

>>107103267
Well, the aithor literally says that almost nothing works, so try it yourself, I guess.
I mean, it's a few MB. Installing VMware will take longer tham running this.

>>107103140 (OP)
This is a classic VirtualBox escape exploit virus. Make sure to NOT run this or at least make sure your VBox is up to date

>>107103140 (OP)
Amazing considering the base image is over 16GB, will have a look later.

>>107103861
immediate BSOD

>>107103140 (OP)
it only needs firefox and it's perfect

I am so surprised that the file explorer works and it looks really good too.
though it seems to open a new window every time a directory is opened, just like windows 95 did.

>>107103849
this shit reeks

>>107104253
that's impressive
do any disk utilities work, like diskmgmt or chkdsk?

>>107103849
hahahahahaha

>>107104253
>I am so surprised that the file explorer works
Are you not surprised that the license check works?

>>107104311
right click and manage results in this.
there is no cmd.exe so I cannot test with chkdsk

>>107104401
lel no notepad ...

>>107103849
>VirtualBox escape exploit virus
prove it

also, vmdk/vmx files are for vmware

>>107104564
holy kek

There is not much that can be done without at least common dialogs dll, can't even compile a basic editor. I was hoping vim would work but it also depends on that

>>107104253
someone port explorer to troonix

>>107103849
got 'em

>>107104678
>.doc files are for office

I got a text editor to work on it, open/save dialogs don't work though
I also tried to get openjdk to work on it but it requires winsock2.dll or something like that. Sadly.

Too bad windows is so opaque in how it operates that you are left with a useless monolith if you actually want to daily drive this.
People do the same shit with linux and it's trivial to as a user add functionality until you are more bloated than noobuntu

>>107106509
I love this, because I personally always liked NT kernel, but I hated windows bloat.
I wonder if I can make a bootable USB running this.

Ok, I can daily drive this now.

>>107106859
install busybox from https://frippery.org/busybox/ (exe under Downloads) and you have a whole set of system tools :D

>>107106870
I am currently looking for a terminal that is written in win32 api, doesn't seem like there is any though.
I hate the cmd.exe because it cannot resize horizontally

>>107106921
what about konsole?

LMAO

there are a bunch of terminals for windows here:
https://github.com/cdleon/awesome-terminals?tab=readme-ov-file#windows
https://mspoweruser.com/best-terminal-for-windows/

>>107107002
I figured out that prior to windows 10, there is no support for pseudo terminals, so you are basically stuck with the "hardcoded" conhost since resding from stdin depends on ReadConsoleW which is in kernel32.dll. so until we get source code for win7, there is probably nothing to be done.

>>107107611
>until we get source code for win7
we do have source code for vista though?

>there is probably nothing to be done.
how come you were ablr to run GVIM?

>>107103140 (OP)
Reminds me of that 4MB Windows 95:
https://archive.org/details/micro95_3mb

>>107107948
I copied the commondlg dll and netapi32 dll to the gvim directory.

>>107103140 (OP)
>69.0mb
nice

>>107104564
use case for notepad?

>>107108138
I see.
I don't know much about windows or system programming, so I don't really know why you wouldn't be able to run busybox (or any other cli interpreter/utilities) without cmd... but that fucking sucks

Great technical achievement.
Kudos.

The person behind this project has many useful things in web archive

so basically, useless.

>>107109000
bait
also, checked

>>107103140 (OP)
use case?

>>107103140 (OP)
put some tape on it, secure it and make modern software work in it and there we have it, troonix and wintard killed.

>>107103140 (OP)
Windows XP was peak. Windows 7 was just the beginning of the modernist sovlless slop.

>>107106921
program your own terminal on it, wont be hard

>>107103140 (OP)
Can you Frankenstein FreeDOS and this together?

>securityfags
huh, that's a virus nightmare. Win7 is virus trash now

>>107104253
Couldn't afford a fully functioning font?

>>107103267
it's probably exactly enough to run explorer

i remember doing a 60MiB win2k but that was basically full-featured

>>107109990
can’t get a virus by going online if networking is permanently broken anon

actually now that I think about it, how many viruses would actually work on this completely butchered OS

>>107108400
You can run them, there just isn't a terminal to display shit. One could use a normal handle for stdin and stdout, but then things like colors won't work because it would depend on win32 console api

Now do windows 10

>>107110734
I would rather do your mom

>>107109991
the list of files is here >>107103161

>i stripped everything out and released a broken version of an outdated windows that functions even less than a [GR15] linux distro made for a meme
wow epic

>>107106921
Isn't that a conhost issue? The same problem doesn't happen on newer windows version.
I need to try it, but you might be able to use a newer conhost, if it even is being developed... I got used to the windows terminal and I use it a lot on windows 11 paired with powershell, so I'm not even sure if "conhost" is even a thing anymore.
No harm in trying it. See if you can run modern conhost on it (again, I'm probably talking out of my ass, no idea how it'll work, if at all).

>>107103140 (OP)
no, it needs to just work, otherwise it's souless
sovl is required

I'm so glad that my autism doesn't make me waste tons of time on proprietary technology
say about freetards what you want but at least they aren't cucks
