am I installing WindowsXP in a VM to play with the MSN/Escargot clients?
Absolutely and I'm ready for it

I can't wait to launch Windows Live Messenger in Windows XP in "seamless" mode inside macOS's UI like some kind of UI fever dream
It's on y'all
THE STARTUP CHIME
Don't mind me I'm just travelling back to 2002

Here's Windows XP in 4K glory with the silver theme (best theme don't @ me)
@Eramdam winxp looks really fucking good at large resolutions with the grey 98 theme
@er1n yes, if you ignore the blurry-ass wallpaper ofc
@Eramdam lmao yeah

ok I need to connect this thing to Internet tho
turns out the VM has access but:
