Mum Tries Out Windows Whistler Build 2419 (2001)

Windows Whistler was the pre-release codename of Windows XP and this particular build of Whistler was the last to include the Watercolor theme before being replaced by the Luna theme for the final release of XP. There are also quite a few quirks in this OS so be sure to explore Whistler with Diana in this episode of OSFirstTimer :)

Hey guys, here's a new episode of the old format in which an operating system is tried out. These will be fairly rare as the focus will be mostly software, but expect these OS try out videos to come out occasionally too. I hope you all enjoy it :)

[jnist-iy]

I missed this series so much! Glad to see OS testing again

[MariHalo]

I missed this format! This video feels just like the old OS trying videos! Super nostalgic, and I’m excited to see even more of these OS videos from you and Diana!

Oooh nice! Whistler is a very good looking OS because of the water color.


This man pulled out the script for the windows 10 theme XD.

Yesss. OSFirstTimer finally comeback with beta build... I can suggest more for this beta build. Congrats with new episodes...

[WalnutSpice]

Wow I never tied that together myself, your mom is totally right on the theme. So many aspects of the Watercolour theme would translate sooo well to Windows 10. Like, way too nicely.

Missed this. I'm wasn't a huge fan of the games through time and I prefer this kind of content, but keep do what you want to do and I'll stay along the whole time =D

[thomasbrocherie]

I've been a fan of your videos for years! So glad a new OS video came out!

[hunterklowss]

1:14 It's almost like it's trying to be Window Vistawy.

[DanielClear]

FYI: Watercolor was not meant to replace classic. It was intented as a placeholder from the start, hence the red inactive titlebar, to test new visual style engine.
Luna was the intended visual style from the start.

Finally, an OS review, it's been so long!

[vicr]

I kinda miss these OS reviews. Lots of new Linux UIs (and updates to existing UIs) have been created since the last time you did this, so I'm hoping you'll have a look at some new DEs soon 👀

[winelectronic]

Diana definitely needs to try out Windows 11 as soon as it's announced on the 24th of June.
