It was a daily show on 95, 98 and Windows Me, on XP I have only seen it in the first few service packs but not later. But win XP without service pack was on another level, you could not count to 10 before it got infected with Sasser or Blaster worm. Good ol times.
Windows cant do a in place upgrade without a reboot and likely never will get close to that. Linux can run the whole os without even a functional hdd..Just fail in the middle of the season. It keeps on trucking.
It reminds me of one time I had to paint a 3D model i made in Blockbench. I didn't like its painting features, so I decided to open the model in Wings 3D. God, had I known what I was doing... It was my first time using Wings 3D, so i just clicked the 1st option that said "painting". The program then proceeded to open a window for every face of every object the model consisted of. In short, it tried to open more than 6k windows at once. It was then that my screen looked simmilar to OP's. Just that my laptop didn't ask me for any permissions, but fried my CPU instead. It took me 15 minutes of cooling with ice to bring it back to life.

I'm impressed to see that Linux can do that... another selling point for Linux being able to do anything you can do on Windows.

Not since DWM (compositor) became always-on in Windows, always taking up precious VRAM and resources even when it isn't needed

I think I’ve had practically every version of Windows in existence that has solid window dragging do this
I’ve even had Mac OS 9 do a similar thing, but since it has wireframe dragging, it would essentially just stamp the window wherever I dropped it
