AIDA64, the popular benchmarking tool for Windows, released a new version today. I don’t particularly care about benchmarking – even less so benchmarking on Windows – but this new release comes with an interesting line in the release notes.
Discontinued support for Windows 95, 98, Me
↫ AIDA64 v7.60 release notes
Seeing a widely-used, popular piece of software drop support for Windows 95, 98, and ME only in this, the year of our lord, 2025, is kind of amazing.
Windows ME was the OS that came with my first PC. So I’m probably part of a very small minority of people who have feelings of nostalgia about it.
Indeed. My best memories of Windows ME are replacing it everywhere I could with Windows 98SE.
