Retro Vista


Hey guys!

Me and my mate were board tonight so we decided to get vista looking as Retro as we could....as you do and check out the results below. The rules were we couldn't use any 3rd party apps or files, this is what we have found lurking in the depths of vista.

Now...how the heck am i gonna get my computer looking like vista again

Those were the good old days? If they ever made a Win95 Ultimate I guess it would look like that

They keep them around for the small group of people who can't/won't adjust to change. These people want it the way they learned it, no changes. I believe the disorder is called cyberphilia.

Hey Sean thanks for that, thats actually quite cool seeing windows 1.1,never seen it before. Looking at them it just shows how revolutionary Windows 95 was? it had Internet explorer and it actually looks like windows

Thanks great Link
