onometre I agree. Why won’t Microsoft make Windows a bit more skeuomorphic? It would look plain if they didn’t make it skeuomorphic! Also syncing. Microsoft, we don’t HAVE to sync our stuff using OneDrive. Windows 10 May 2019 update made it a lot worse and took their Microsoft account branding to the next level... or did they? I don’t know but still!

That's probably because of the Spambot outbreak that has been happening around KZbin lately. Also, thanks for taking my suggestion. I do want to point out that if you were to actually install the Chinese language pack on Windows Vista that you would get a new Text to Speech Voice called Microsoft Lili, which is a Chinese voice but can also speak English, but the user could still choose Anna as the default voice (which is also the case in Windows 7). Also, I had this problem with the stuttering sound that you had in this video (which used to be a problem in Windows XP virtual machines on Windows 8/10 hosts in older versions of VMWare) which could be fixed by launching Windows Media Player, switching it to Now Playing view and minimizing it. However, unlike XP virtual machines, this workaround doesn't seem to work for Vista virtual machines. Some sort of glitch with either VMWare or Windows from what I can see, as I never had this problem on Windows 7 when I had it as my host operating system.

They didn't have an Ultimate Extras program for Windows 7 because of the poor reception they received originally for Vista Ultimate Extras. They had a hard time releasing updates and features for the Ultimate Extras program on Vista, so users weren't happy and public reception of the program was poor. As a result, they didn't have Windows 7 Ultimate Extras.

Great video! A couple of additional things :) 1) Microsoft handed off the whole Dreamscene thing to Stardock, who makes a version for Windows 7/10. There were unofficial ways to use Dreamscene in Windows 7 as well. 2) Windows Vista came in a ridiculous amount of editions - Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate. Beyond the "Ultimate Extras", the Ultimate edition was also an option for a business that wanted "Enterprise" features without having a full Enterprise agreement with Microsoft, such as the language packs, domain join functionality and so on. Also unlike Windows 7 Pro which included everything from Home edition, the Vista Business edition did not include all the entertainment features of Home Premium (like Media Center IIRC), but Ultimate did, so Ultimate was really Home Premium + Enterprise together. A video tip would be to do a comparison of the Vista and Windows 7 editions features. :) You can pick your desired edition by NOT entering a product key during setup. You will get a trial period of 3 days or something before it gets upset about activation.

I really miss the Aero theme. Windows 10 just doesn't give us the customization windows 7 or vista or even xp did. Its about forcing a brand on the user, not about letting the user do what they want. I fear Microsoft will make windows 10 into a service that is paid for every month, when that happens I will unplug my ssd and get a new one and install linux. I just cant get over all the crap that is in windows 10, and how hard it is to deal with. Just to name a few things that really get my goat. Cortana, the start menu, the advertising in the start menu, forcing the Microsoft store on us, forcing a Microsoft account on us, the lack of customization, the windows logo in general, the taskbar, the search bar, file explorer. Just to name a few major ones. Why couldn't MS just leave windows 7 alone? It was our only safe haven from the "new" crap that is beyond ugly. Its not like it would be really hard for Microsoft to just put a Windows 7 shell over the windows core OS. Just to make migrating easier. What about windows games? What happened to those?

I wish I had known about that to pirate Office 2002 on my NEC laptop before that, as it had Word 2002 but not the full suite that my school had on their PCs (I later got myself a copy, but by then, Windows XP was no longer current), as well as getting Microsoft Plus as I believe the Microsoft Plus packs weren't available to buy in Singapore back in the day. 3:37 I can tell that the update mechanism had already been updated to the one included with Windows 7.

You never had to pay full price for ultimate, I found you could just buy the upgrade version at a lower cost and use that. The trick was to first install the previous version, like home or business, don't activate. Rather then inserting the Ultimate upgrade install disc, boot from it. When booting from the disc the windows installation only looked to see you had the previous version installed, didn't check it was activated. Finish the install and activate. This also worked with Windows 7.
