    Vista is ancient?! (Looks it up…) okay, its 20yrs old, which makes my back hurt, but I wouldn’t call it ancient.

      This is windows 10 (using a shell that looks like vista). The ancient thing I’m refering to is the “Microsoft chat” window. MS Chat was the predecessor to msn messenger which was discontinued ~1999

      I didn’t expect to be able to to instantly connect to anything with a 27 year-old 1mb program.

      I would upload it but it messes with windows’ registry. These old ms programs can mess stuff up on modern windows.

        It’s because, for once, Microsoft just used the IRC protocol for mschat and comic chat, instead of inventing their own bullshit. I’m sure whoever made that decision was immediately terminated.
