I can remember installing Windows 95 with floppy disks, that was slow. XP was great because you could finally do minor things and it not require a reboot.
I still have 46 disks of Office floating around somewhere
I've seen far more copies like this than original XP discs. It was the style at that time!
Please. You're talking to a man here who ripped his entire CD collection into iTunes ... and then backed his library up on 1.44 MB floppies.
I have certain programs that were ripped from my father's 7.5" floppies. They have gone through 3.5" floppies, to CDs, to thumb drives.

I was thinking the album yes fragile. Check it out on on youtube. The song roundabout if nothing else.
The kids have heard that one, it's the credits song on season 1 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures.

My dude, you shouldn't post the key in open 🫣
I can smell this photo
Ah yes, the ozone-plastic top notes with an undertone of Doritos and Mt. Dew. And is that a slight hint of cheap beer?
And how many of them are scratched to death?
This was taken a few years back. They are all ona USB drive now.
My PC didn't support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times
I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME
I remember reading a conspiracy theory that this key was purposely put in by a liberal employee who believed everything should be free and that’s why the first 5 digits are FCKGW - fuck George w - and that it was the volume license for Lockheed Martin or something
It’s not true but interestingly this key was leaked before windows xp even came out, like a month before, and it’s suspected to be a VLK from dell
Nowadays they’d probably say leftist
Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.
Ama bout to score me a free copy of XP 😏
that is so cute.. less than 1gb
missed that day
I actually had a Windows 98 CD at one point. Copied/ pitated, of course. The keys that I had were kinda stolen from the IT department that I was working for, at the time.
Only kinda stolen. The company was required to have a ridiculous amount of OEM keys. There were only 200 people working at CR back then, that needed Windows 98 rather than Windows NT, and of course there were the 8 Linux/Unix guys that IT mostly ignored, except for their connection to the intranet.
IT could buy 100 keys, or 250 keys. There was no option to buy two groups of 100 keys back in 1998. So we had about 56 keys just laying around that a few of us in IT just kinda took. We also took a total of 300 Windows NT licences, but I kinda doubt that any of managed to even give away a license of WNT.
