The Windows Iceberg Explained

[@dexahtheman]

Tier 1: I just installed Windows, here's what i know Tier 2: I like to consider myself a techie Tier 3: I am a techie Tier 4: I am a developer Tier 5: Why i switched to Linux

[@Scrawlerism]

BAHAHAHA

[@AllTheOthers]

Love the name of tier 5 lol

[@regav62]

and i can relate to 5 i mean i dualboot, and i use winaero tweaker to turn off the telemetry

[@dexahtheman]

@@regav62 Lol, i used to do that for a bit, but i completely quit all the games i used to play on Windows for linux, have been using it for years now. Actually, when i try to use a windows machine i struggle now, so i'm not sure if that's for the better? I get asked for help then i don't know how to solve stuff... oops

[@gamecuber6]

I think the reason for Windows 9 being skipped was thad it would probably break all windows 9x compatibility and cause a lot of confusion in the windows community

[@WeegeepieYT]

dang it videos one year old and someone beats me to it by a day lol

[@gamecuber6]

@@WeegeepieYT lol

[@KoenDoesThings]

That's not true, If the program was looking for the version then it would look for the NT version and Windows 9 would have been based of NT and not 9x. This was just a hoax by someone and not true

[@byteseb]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Wouldn't make sense, but knowing how badly designed Windows can be, it could make sense

[@gamecuber6]

Another reason Windows 9 might have been skipped is because at the time of release of 10, Microsoft wanted to make windows 10 the last windows version and keep updating it basically forever, hence windows sun valley, basically that windows 10 update which in the end became windows 11 but the theory in this video also makes a good point from a marketing perspective

[@VonVikoGoat]

aero did not age like milk tho, recently with the slow comeback of skeuomorphism and aesthetics from late 2000's people have been interested on the frutiger aero aesthetic wich includes the aero theme from vista/7

[@gdtyra]

As long as XPs Luna theme doesn't come back I'm happy

[@HGAMES69]

@@gdtyra L take

[@the_pigs_have_rebelled]

I love aero, a bit because of nostalgia bias but mostly because I genuinely like how it looks. Having to look at boring flat Win10 for 6 years got tiring and Windows 11 is more fun than 10 but still not like 7.

[@-rate6326]

This is really high quality content but extremely underrated

[@NotReallyHype]

honestly, you need to do a part 2 of this video explaining more items if possible, since this is (probably) the most detailed and best explained windows iceberg ever imo

[@byteseb]

I'll consider it, but I did record the Iceberg again and added new entries that will appear in my Operating Systems Iceberg.

[@NotReallyHype]

@@byteseb cool, cant wait for it to come out!

[@gdtyra]

Really good and accurate. Some topics that came to mind while watching are "windows refund day", the Internet Explorer vs Netscape legal issues in the 90s, and Microsoft having to help Apple stay in business at one point (I think it was because, without Apple, they had no competition and might have been broken up due to having a monopoly on the market)

[@byteseb]

Thanks! Yeah, I mention those topics on other Icebergs

[@danewilson7883]

Great video high quality entertaining although there are some audio glitches are a bit annoying but other then that good video underrated I subscribed

Thanks!

[@veggiebroth5542]

He just made a Linux iceberg video and that's how I found this one. It's a great video

[@rdfgrdhd]

Thanks for mentioning windows xp horror edition. It's a cool underrated virus, although a little boring due to the lack of features. Fan made viruses are a very interesting topic, that usually no one talkes about, i'm glad that someone finally mentioned it.

[@pabblo1]

7:36 Also, I remember there was a part of ODBC which still had parts of Windows 3.1's File Manager in it. If you want to replicate this: Open "ODBC Data Sources (64-bit)" Click "Add" and then click on "Microsoft Access Driver" Click "Finish", you should see a menu Click "Select", and now you should see what remains of Windows 3.1's File Manager.

[@matrix01234567899]

About windows 9: in my opinion MS didn't wanted to be confused with windows 9x (95/98/me), In the same way, windows 10 update from march 2020 was named 2004 instead 2003 to not be confused with Windows Server 2003

[@salamiwallnut]

27:41 i love how there is code in windows that might be still used with curse words as comments or names

[@GAMIR_SFM]

I liked Win Vista areo's design

[@griffinrails]

Jesus, this has a low viewcount. 974 subs, 25 likes, 6 comments, sheesh! You deserve MUCH more.

[@byteseb]

Thanks! I appreciate your support :)

[@lazynerdtv]

microsoft didnt actually not do windows 9 for the reason in this video, they didn't do it because there were some concerns that programs would interpret windows 9 as a windows 9.x version instead

[@gdtyra]

Oh yea, I think this is probably the main reason

[@ocso6394]

This is wrong, they'd read off the NT version, not the OS name.

[@lazynerdtv]

@@ocso6394yes, lil typo in my comment

[@gyoofyloowkin]

this video is 1 year old and is only sitting at 18k views? aint no way bruh, youtube bless this man with the power of algorithm bruh. he doesnt deserve to be underrated.

[@Speed0a]

22:00 Try doing it with the command prompt and then try to delete it. Observe Windows crumble.

[@badasahog]

Believe me, the iceberg goes way deeper than that.

[@byteseb]

Yeah, I'm planning on probably making a part 2

[@matrix01234567899]

Folder names like con, com1 etc. are blocked for compatibility reasons with old software written primarly for ms-dos

[@WinVisten]

Why didn't you mention Windows Longhorn, Chicago, or Whistler? Those are pretty huge parts of the iceberg.

[@gabrielv.4358]

Really Nice video!

[@ultego64]

30:09 the skull is from the movie poster for Evil Dead 2

[@windestruct]

If Microsoft made Windows 9, programs wouldn't run properly, because they would think they are running in Windows 9x

[@kreuner11]

Windows Update has been around for a lot longer than Vista, even to 98 The reason to can't name thing AUX, CON, COM1, etc is because these are pseudo files used in the command line to send data to certain devices.

[@PlayedLOL_XD]

19:32 The File explorer Hidden Version Is The Same One that Used To Be On Xbox Consoles

[@PlayedLOL_XD]

It’s still on the consoles u can see it when doing things with usb’s or photos

[@ezequiele.5230]

There is some file in the win xp source code that's called how to make code faster or something like that and the first step was ask your manager for a better work computer

[@aren3325]

I searched for this and this video came up. Great video exactly what I wanted, quality content

[@kelvinnkat]

Just to clarify, Candy Crush is never installed by Microsoft onto Windows. That screenshot was one of an ad for the game.

[@therealanthonity]

From my life experience, deja vu happens in a moment which lines up with something you dreamed about before, no matter how long ago. I came to this realization when I was at a summer camp 2 years ago. I was the 2nd day there and it was already time to sleep. I was sitting on my bed when I got deja vu and I swore that I had the exact same moment in a dream (probably when I was 6).

[@weegie3343]

22:03 Sort of. For example: con is an old driver/way to access printers

[@piesekmaksio]

is there something about lost beta versions like windows 1.0 comdex demo, interface manager version or windows 95 usability test from late 1993 where only thing remained from this is one recording in low quality probably from december 1993

[@byteseb]

I didn't know about it. Do you have more information?

[@piesekmaksio]

@@byteseb about windows 1.0 lost betas, there's some information on betawiki (from that comdex demo probably from 1983 as i remember, only various photos remain and it never has been released publicly) microsoft interface manager was like raw add-on for msdos but they changed name to windows and windows 95 usability tests was some very early chicago betas maybe

[@StefanTCTS]

My uncle works in Microsoft, I asked why there isn't a windows 9, he said: "789". Guess why?

[@NOT_SMG4]

Windows 10 Because 7, 8, 9

[@justarandomskyfan]

windows vista was good just had alot of issues the service packs did fix it

[@Natalietrans]

I’m only interested in windows in the ways that it is vastly behind Linux

[@sufstreet91]

why is this video so underated

[@NOT_SMG4]

Great video

[@byteseb]

Thanks for watching a lot of my videos, haha

[@qwertz6776]

22:09 that is because these folders exist and they're REALLY critical for windows to actually work, so just to be safe you can't name folders like that

[@underscoredotpng]

5:53 bro is scared to misgender lines of code

[@Emil215p]

You should have included Windows RT, even bigger failure than Windows phone, Windows RT 8/8.1 tablets with only apps available being from the store, failed for exactly the same reason as Windows Mobile that being, barely any apps, Windows 10 in S mode is basically the same concept but on x86 devices so you can opt out, interesting devices tbh, ARM processors with Tegra GPUs and all that, had both the original Surface RT and 2, and they would be great devices if they werent limited to the store. Also there is a leaked Windows 10 build for RT, which could also be an interesting point on the list.

[@GavinFromWeb]

The reason people didn't like the widgets panel is because it had a lot of telemetry issues, violating a lot of people's desire of privacy.

Ever since I was fourteen, I was always intent on switching to linux. Windows is becoming outdated, gross, and invasive to say the least. Your best bets now-a-days for an operating system are all linux versions.

[@paultapping9510]

I switched to Debian Linux 6 months ago, and I haven't been as happy with an OS since Win XP SP2. I feel in control of every aspect of my system. Anything that bugs me can be changed, removed, or altered. Anything missing can almost certainly be added. All for free, and without telemetry and data mining. Highly recommended!
