I was expecting to see the operating system of the LISP Machines here.

I tried most of these back in the early 2000s

He said “Winblows” @9:38 😂

Nice

Really enjoyed this video! I can’t believe sandstorm was a tracker song, incredibly based

💪💪💪💪💪

Amiga was the first computer that really made it right. Multitasking and great resources management wasn't a joke on this machine.

Your timeline on this is a little confused. MIDI was nowhere near as developed as it was in the late 80s/early 90s compared to 4-channel MOD files on Amiga. They weren't really contemporaries, or competing formats.

I remember using Impulse Tracker after acquiring a collection of MOD's and S3Ms in a magazine. I listened to 2 of his songs on SoundCloud, they sounded very good, they made me remember, one of "Westbam ft Africa Bambaataa - Agartha", the other "Hidden Logic - Time".

the norton commander screensavers hit hard in my childhood memories. i totally forgot about them

early operating systems with gui's, in other words companies that apple and microsoft ripped off ideas from

Norton Commander is not a GUI, it's a text-based drive navigator.

Left out QuikMenu. Came bundled with lots of 386 clones

When I programmed X-GUI 3 back in 2001 I never thought here I'd be 23 years later watching a random recommended channel on youtube with a video showing it. I stopped at version 4 as programming the source in various QuickBASIC versions became too large and jumbled for the compiler and programming environment to handle and my interests went into other directions in life. Version 4 had the ability to run its own programs that were generated by a scripting language and then interpreted internally by the GUI to be windowed and processed which is how its paint, clock, calculator, game and so on ran within it in a pseudo cooperative multitasking way but at that point the project was hitting the limits of QuickBASIC and 640k system memory itself and I couldn't find many people who wanted to learn the scripting language and help build small programs to run within it. X-GUI 3 was more of a desktop shell with movable icons and windowing and was probably more "DOSBOX" compatible than 4 as the latter had some hardware tricks and was more of a mini virtual OS running on DOS, but all of the versions should run on actual old computers of the day just fine. Clearly I was inspired by Amiga OS during those years as I borrowed heavily from their UI look.

7.5.5 came out in 1996! It even says so in the readme file which you opened! LOL It was only 7.0 that came out in 1991! C'mon man!!

Wow this has got to be one of the best GUI videos I've ever found on the internet, ANYWHERE, let alone...UA-cam.. THANKYOU!

What is xcom?

PC Geos is a masterpiece of programming, and it was/is way more than a DOS shell.

While it's nice to get screenshots of these in action, it would be even more interesting to get an idea of when they came out and how long they may have been popular, if they were. Obviously, things like DeskMate and early Windows versions actually came out when DOS was a widely-used OS, late 80s/early 90s. But some of these are clearly later implementations only useful for retro-computing, as they weren't around that early. And we don't get to see improvements of later versions unless they're visual. Windows 2 was an improvement on Windows 1, even though they're similar visually. Windows 3.1 was a big improvement on Windows 3.0, although again, they looked very similar.

If you update this video please include PC-Tools PC SHELL. Much better than dosshell and it came with disk maintenance utilities.

I though that it would be GUI/TUI (program manager/multi-program/windowing systems) that run over DOS... There were some full fledge OS that didn't use DOS, or even the PC, some filebrowser and some "menu" programs... nevertheless, it was still an interesting video. Thank you for it, I've shared it with some friends that also are into "old computing stuff"

OS/2 wasn't a DOS GUI but it could run DOS in a Virtual DOS Machine... It was 30 years ahead of its time in that respect.

Os/2 was an operating system not a gui for DOS!!

DESQview by far was the best.

its crazy how most all DOS apps mimicked Norton commander GUI stores used some clipper software that mimicks norton commander UI

Norton Commander = Midnight Commander

Real name for these is TUI “text based user interfaces”

you missed mcshell

2:56 like as on Fallout.

Ahhhh Norton Commander 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

OS/2, a DOS GUI? 😂 Yeah, nah. OS/2 was a completely different operating system. Sure, it could start up DOS and run some DOS software. But it did so in a manner closer to running DOS in a virtual machine.

The best DOS UI is the Amiga Workbench. Lol.

DOSUAE has nothing to do with DOS itself. It is an Amiga emulator software to emulate an entirely different platform.

GEOS looks great. Might be my favorite.

Volume too Low

What about Turbo Vision?

2:36 LOL

My best web gui: windows93 😅

Cool, had no idea most of these existed. Win95 and Win98 are missing, since they are GUIs that run on top of DOS 😅

when I learn C++ I dream of that kind of UI, now I stilln't code them

Oh so you like DOS? Then name all its' GUIs Oh, ok nevermind 😅

Nice, but there are some Macintosh screencasts, too.

Now, I Want the: All WMs And Desktop environment on LINUX

Must have missed QQ.

yes, DesqView/X. It's a X window based window manager and very powerful

This is fantastic!

This is awesome, thanks man - it's just the inspiration I needed right now, too! Hope to see more of this and thank you again You are a ⭐

What about QEMM 386 and DesqView/X?

Lots of memories in this video. Nice to see both professional GUIs and homemade GUIs together. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!

Most of those are as good as the ones today
