Is it just me think that Windows Vista have the most impressive interface design?

[@arbifox187]

I agree

[@eshanausis7083]

microsoft spent time on the looks of windows vista instead of the performance

[@oimwiolevrai]

oh yea, I agree

[@yeppiidev]

@@eshanausis7083 and don't forget they fixed it in windows 7

[@gamertcell8425]

More like Windows Vista AND 7

[@kowan011]

By the way, Windows 7's wait cursors spin a frame slower than Windows Vista's but still uses the same amount of frames in the wait cursor. This makes the cursor animation skip a frame. Now you can't unsee it!

[@marcelwilgorski2137]

You madlad

[@yeppiidev]

ah shit

[@MECHOWL]

Literally unusable

[@yeppiidev]

@@MECHOWL lol

[@IZO_9]

I already knew this and didnt care

[@CringePoop]

i like how in the windows vista one there's little dots and the light reflects onto the cursor

[@marcelohidalgo7713]

I like the Vista and 7 one.

[@NoMess_TheReal]

I never forget windows 7 cursor, so epic

[@elDSi.]

Correction: Windows Vista

[@Elnoob618]

@@elDSi. both have the same cursor, first used in Vista

[@ZrixE_69420]

Same

[@DrambDos11]

I like windows 10 cursor , i patch cursor windows folder to windows 7 cursor folder!

[@SomeRandomPiggo]

never thought something as simple as a cursor could be nostalgic but here we are, also hi poland

[@gabnaocai]

Seriously, in this you read my thoughts, I was researching an evolution of this yesterday, thanks! Windows 7 mouse graphics the best!

[@LiveUIClient5048]

VISTA*

[@AliHussnain-mc5zt]

😂😂😂😂

[@AliHussnain-mc5zt]

Haha you so funny

[@amiralingames]

I did not noticed also loading cursor on win 7 would show light on the cursor

[@NewRepublicMapper]

They Should Update Cursor in Windows 11

[@Lexan_YT]

Change your cursor size in Win 10 / WIn 11 settings app and you'll get a more modern looking cursor (it swaps out the older one with a newer one)

[@fgghhydi]

@@Lexan_YT yea my cursor is blue

[@cmosekil5710]

But "busy" cursor in this "modern looking cursor" is Windows 3.0-XP style.

[@krustycrab1730]

I think Windows 11 will get a new cursor because the new pointer icon has been in almost every location

[@abbyartwright2929]

The 8 cursor has stayed in Windows 10, so I doubt that

[@half-dusted]

What would they even change it to? the current cursor is just a slightly different version of the aero one

[@Worthy_Edge]

@@abbyartwright2929 the vista cursor stayed in 7 so wdym

[@abbyartwright2929]

@@Worthy_Edge because Vista = 7

[@Worthy_Edge]

@@abbyartwright2929 Vista is not 7, Vista was released in 2007, while 7 was released in 2009. Vista’s NT version is 6.0 while 7’s NT version is 6.1, and moreover they look extremely different

[@hollylumi]

2 videos in one day. Nice!

[@yaas368thedev8]

I like the part where you just put the ncs feel good song in the background makes the video more dreamy and smooth 🤤😴 and I also like the way you got the instrumental one 😃

[@oguzhankarhan6837]

Nice video, Good job!

[@sna76200]

I Love That Busy Light On The Cursor Of Working In Background

[@SigmaRho2922]

The hourglass being replaced by the spinning circle when vista was released was reminiscent of the wristwatch being replaced by a spinning beach ball when Mac OS X was released

[@MishaFlash]

I like the The Vista/7 cursor

[@hieuquocnguyen7645]

Fun fact: the Windows 3.x/NT 3.x cursor is also used in all Windows CE versions (Except that Working in Background cursor which is from Microsoft Chicago build 73 was also included in Windows CE)

[@Adrian2058Roblox]

i miss the old cursor

[@leandro007YT]

the rhythm of Syn Cole, one of my favorite songs😎

[@JereChin]

Windows NT 4 has a cursor slight change to Windows 2000 & XP for the shadowing

[@SamanthaTheSonicFan]

I like Macs because of the “Pinwheel of Death” or “Spinning Color Wheel”. Also, in MacOS Monterey, you now have the option to change the pointer colors.

[@_kitaes_]

and in windows you can change every cursor to any image

[@unknown39743]

Windows 1 - 2.3 my favourite

[@duckiees]

Eww long mouse cursor

[@TimeMaster57]

1:23 I thought there was a change in windows 11, so I moved my cursor and loaded

[@mapmoop451]

if you look at the windows vista + 7 waiting icons, in they're animation they have a slight bubbling effect on the sides, i never noticed that!

[@mapmoop451]

looking at it again, theres also a slight glow effect on the mouse cursor icon

[@mapmoop451]

its at 1:17

[@mapmoop451]

also the vista and 7 cursors should have been separate the windows 7 cursor has more shading and overall has a more 3d look to it

[@random_person618]

@@mapmoop451 that glow is because of the wait cursor and ye now I see those bubbles xD

[@LiveUIClient5048]

HOW

[@badpiggies988]

Seeing the normal cu- er, I mean, hourglass and spinning diamond ring of death that showed on my family’s old potato floortop brought back memories of me gaming on the loud, slow thing. It would show that and pretend to be busy while playing ms flight simulator for minutes on end, usually followed by the current application saying it “has stopped working” or sometimes even a BSOD.

[@TACOS80083]

Super video

[@ank_sid]

Nice

[@thenoteverythingchannel]

Fun Fact: In Windows Longhorn (in my experience, build 4051), the hourglass cursor actually rotates!

[@unknown39743]

Windows Critical Error Evolution (1 - 11) please video

[@apiraksuwanyotee1720]

Including the sound would be nice

[@theboogeyman289]

I hate how simplified is the cursor in Windows 8, 10 and 11 while the cursor in Vista and 7 looked much better.

[@StripesInTheYT]

It's not that simplified lol

[@mctogo001]

NOBEL TECH BE LIKE

[@Zane_Khian]

i still use the xp loading symbol cuz i use a custom colored mouse cursor

[@DinhTien.]

no one's talking about the reflection when the loading circle of vista, 7 one comes near the cursor

[@kennethsamsung1964]

this video is very good to watch for windows lovers. btw i'm from indonesia

[@UpgradedTitanTvMan75]

The Windows 11 has a dark and light cursor theme that is very cool

[@DanielRMebs]

Next vídeo Mac OS cursor? :-)

[@gabnaocai]

mac took almost 20 years (or more) to change the cursor kkkkkk the video will take 15 seconds

[@NinM64]

Fun fact: all cursors are tilted 45 degrees, but is angled slightly more.

[@namvu-hq4ee]

nice

[@SleepySheep_YT]

What makes me most concerned is how to get those pictures?

[@VoAviation]

Pretty sure there was a system folder with them

[@player277-ml3ts]

we linux users love our special adwaita and DMZ-white cursor

[@jjburbage]

You forgot the Windows 10 old cursor facing the other direction that appears in some parts of old apps.

[@user-mi1dp8ch7y]

Fun fact: The windows cursors with the timer next to them means when you click on something with that cursor the timer will appear while it's loading

[@waterguy7463]

I never noticed that windows vista mouse cursor waiting did illuminate the cursor

[@PurblePink8678]

So Windows Vista is my favourite

[@GoogleHayrani]

me too

[@reactingchannelgamingchann3066]

The wallpaper for the entire video was the Windows 10X default wallpaper

[@pooler57]

1:11 notice how the blue reflects off of the pointer

[@DarkVal403]

I see windows 7 cursors loading like enderpearl.

[@nguyenthianhao788]

good jod

[@miraakthuri]

do you know where are stored windows 3x default/standart cursors ? im trying to extract them but they are stored diffrently

[@SubtotalAnt8185]

probably straight in the WINDOWS folder. Just use 7-zip to extract the image to a folder and then search for *.cur and you'll find them all.

[@rosanafalcao4038]

Why was the cursor blunt before?

[@ice69093]

I love winndowsxp❤️

[@Luisdasher1406]

Yes

[@atletuan9474]

i change my cursor in window 7 to window 1995 or 1992 is pretty cool you can go to the start,search mouse,click to pointer and theb you see

[@TOJRRN]

Windows 11 has improved at a speed

[@maxe-200]

From Windows 1.0 to Windows 7 Note that the mouse pointer does not change

[@OrdinarySonicfanMmKay]

To skip to the end: 23:59:59

[@loganyunchannelsubscribeor4785]

If windows XP to 11 does not end then:

[@Oswald_and_Windows_tech]

The nt 4.0 cursor is the same as the 2000 and xp but without the shadow

[@LiveUIClient5048]

and the shadow can be added anyway in the cursor settings
