The old UI is so damn beautiful! So clean and professional. I'd die for something like this today. Too bad can't really daily drive Win2000 anymore.

as far I remember, NT stands for New Technology. It was developed from scratch to get rid off the DOS roots windows used to have. In fact, the first commercial hit for the masses that used the NT kernel was windows XP. Nice video ;)

I loves coding on VS 6.0, great video man!


Keep it up!

That was a really cool stream. I’ve done some win32 programming ages ago when I was just starting off and haven’t touched any Windows programming since. I’ve written the code along with you on Windows XP and it was really fun coming back to that.

Thank you so much! I would love to see more videos like this, and I am super glad that you chose C over C++, because it makes things so much more accessible!

[TimMorgan]

I really appreciate seeing the actual process and the mistakes. I would love to see more content like this!

When you create a Resource File for the Win32 application you're developing on Windows 2000 using Visual C++ 6.0 and Miss Jane starts playing in the background. I'm glad I got to experience some of that era (am born 2000).

VC 6 is still my favorite today, and I still use it (with VisualAssist) if I don't need to build a 64 bit executable. It has that well thought out look and feel, and it feels... I guess the word is "robust".

The "visual" in the "visual studio" line of products, was because they allowed you to build applications using drag and drop and a graphical user interface. Something that delphi, visual basic, etc made a lot of use of and it was super trendy back in the 90's
