The Windows Iceberg Explained

To match with the release of Windows 11, I wanted to gather information about this Operating System, so I created The Windows Iceberg, containing 40 subjects spread into 5 tiers.

00:00 Intro
00:19 Tier 1
07:47 Tier 2
12:38 Tier 3
18:13 Tier 4
22:10 Tier 5

I think the reason for Windows 9 being skipped was thad it would probably break all windows 9x compatibility and cause a lot of confusion in the windows community

aero did not age like milk tho, recently with the slow comeback of skeuomorphism and aesthetics from late 2000's people have been interested on the frutiger aero aesthetic wich includes the aero theme from vista/7

This is really high quality content but extremely underrated

[NotReallyHype]

honestly, you need to do a part 2 of this video explaining more items if possible, since this is (probably) the most detailed and best explained windows iceberg ever imo

7:36 Also, I remember there was a part of ODBC which still had parts of Windows 3.1's File Manager in it.

If you want to replicate this:
Open "ODBC Data Sources (64-bit)"
Click "Add" and then click on "Microsoft Access Driver"
Click "Finish", you should see a menu
Click "Select", and now you should see what remains of Windows 3.1's File Manager.

DUDE THIS IS QUALITY PRODUCTION I LOVE IT!, YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED!

[gdtyra]

Really good and accurate. Some topics that came to mind while watching are "windows refund day", the Internet Explorer vs Netscape legal issues in the 90s, and Microsoft having to help Apple stay in business at one point (I think it was because, without Apple, they had no competition and might have been broken up due to having a monopoly on the market)

About windows 9: in my opinion MS didn't wanted to be confused with windows 9x (95/98/me), In the same way, windows 10 update from march 2020 was named 2004 instead 2003 to not be confused with Windows Server 2003

Great video high quality entertaining although there are some audio glitches are a bit annoying but other then that good video underrated I subscribed

[salamiwallnut]

27:41 i love how there is code in windows that might be still used with curse words as comments or names

[SandyPole]

you have an incredible ability to explain complicated things simply!

[griffinrails]

Jesus, this has a low viewcount. 974 subs, 25 likes, 6 comments, sheesh!
You deserve MUCH more.

Thanks for mentioning windows xp horror edition. It's a cool underrated virus, although a little boring due to the lack of features. Fan made viruses are a very interesting topic, that usually no one talkes about, i'm glad that someone finally mentioned it.

microsoft didnt actually not do windows 9 for the reason in this video, they didn't do it because there were some concerns that programs would interpret windows 9 as a windows 9.x version instead

Try doing it with the command prompt and then try to delete it. Observe Windows crumble.

[gyoofyloowkin]

this video is 1 year old and is only sitting at 18k views? aint no way bruh, youtube bless this man with the power of algorithm bruh. he doesnt deserve to be underrated.

[windestruct]

If Microsoft made Windows 9, programs wouldn't run properly, because they would think they are running in Windows 9x

[kelvinnkat]

Just to clarify, Candy Crush is never installed by Microsoft onto Windows. That screenshot was one of an ad for the game.

[badasahog]

Believe me, the iceberg goes way deeper than that.
