= Filler Part 5: System Reset Virtual Box Prototype
User Image
Young Enchantress: You're welcome. The Enchantress said to the Narrator, Athena and her mother

Narrator: From what I can tell... Windows ME was next in line as it didn't last long as it was rushed out and littered with serious problems such as constant crashes. It failed critically and took the Windows 9x Series out with a whimper. As it had a 9 Month Development Time as Windows 2000 came out earlier. The Narrator said to Athena & Aphrodite

Young Enchantress: Windows ME came out in September 2000, Windows 2000 came out in Christmas 1999.
One thing worth mentioning is that Windows 2000 being for businesses and power users. This made Windows NT the new Primary Series of Windows PCs after Windows 9x ended.
The Enchantress said to the Narrator

Narrator: Scanner, Prototype Virtual Drive.. The Narrator proceeds with phase 2 of the 86Box Installer Narrator: Following the Release of Windows 2000, things started to get a little complicated as Windows XP and Windows 7 were next in line which are two of the Longest Life Lasting OS in the Windows NT Library from 2001-2014 and 2009-2020...

Young Enchantress: You're forgetting that Windows 2000 lasted until 2010. Windows 98 lasted until 2002 while Windows 95 lasted until 2000. There was also another failed OS being Windows Vista in 2007 but like Windows ME before it, it had problems too. But while it lasted until 2017, due to its performance issues, compatibility problems, and a perceived lack of significant improvements, it was considered a bad OS that was also rushed out unfinished.

During Windows 2000, when people used Win2000, it had better stability, security, and overall performance than WinME until Windows XP came out a year later. By this time, Windows 9x had already died out and Windows NT took over as its base OS series for Windows.


Narrator: And the rest being Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, etc, is history right?

Young Enchantress: That's one way to put it, Einstein. Now you're thinking and catching on.

Narrator: Now this is where it Counts.... Virtualization! The Narrator said to Athena & Aphrodite as he launches 86box with Windows 98 & "Microsoft Sound" is played with a Solid Framerate
Narrator: Yes! Wayne Sazlinski is a True Genius and so am I!

Young Enchantress: Well, if you must know, Einstein, Virtualization of Old Computers is complicated as the rule of it in 86x is to do the best lowest Virtual PC Build because if you overclock it, the Host Computer will need to Emulate more causing slowdown.

During the use of 86 Box, take note of the percentage bar as it gives an estimate on how well its preforming so if its 90-101%, its running at an optimal rate. If any problems happen to it as it would be a 40% Output as there's a limitation in the Host PC's Hardware.
In other words, Virtualization is Hardware Intensity as you need to find the best low end Retro Virtual PC as best as you can.

So don't forget about finding the Right Build Setup to use!
The Enchantress said to the Narrator

Narrator: Anyway, that will be all for this Filler. The Side Project sounds like a lot of work and while the replies maybe slow while I'm working on it, it gives me something to do while I wait so as to be preoccupied.
