Creando lección...
1
So we all know large corporations are deathly afraid of the number 9 for some reason.
2
Apple skipped the iPhone 9.
3
Microsoft skipped Windows 9.
4
Blackberry skipped the Blackberry 9, huh?
5
But what's the big deal?
6
Give me my number 9 already!
7
You know, I know someone who would be very disappointed in you, Microsoft.
8
Well, what if I told you I had it?
9
I have it right here.
10
Windows 9 on this flash drive.
11
Shh, gotta be quiet.
12
I don't want Bill Gates to hear me.
13
No! i love windows 11 and windows 12 will be even better oh
14
so windows 9 i lied it's on this flash drive actually
15
also okay windows 9 doesn't actually exist this is just a random bootleg iso i found online
16
and i have no idea what i'm in for
17
and to make this even more stupid i'm gonna be installing
18
it on my 2007 macbook pro yay let's get this usb stick in and get booting.
19
EFI boot.
20
I pressed enter and it's just, is it frozen?
21
The fans are ramping up.
22
I really hope I don't have to deal with putting this on a disc.
23
All right, I'm going to try something really stupid here.
24
I'm on Windows 11 on this thing.
25
Watch this video if you want to know how I got it on there.
26
I'm going to find the installer and run it
27
and try to downgrade Windows 11 to whatever monstrosity is on this drive here.
28
Is there a setup?
29
Oh, there's a setup .exe.
30
Double click.
31
I wonder how well this will work.
32
Probably not very.
33
What the hell?
34
What is this?
35
What is this deep fried ass music?
36
This has got to be the most compressed audio I have ever heard.
37
Please, for the love of hell, turn that off.
38
Oh, wow.
39
I'm so glad I opened this.
40
It's got sound effects.
41
What do you mean an activator.
42
Can I install it?
43
I'm just going to click it.
44
Surely it won't just work like this.
45
I'm afraid to do this.
46
Actually, this thing's connected to the internet.
47
I'm going to not have this.
48
I don't want it to install viruses to every network drive I have enabled right now.
49
Goodbye, internet.
50
Okay.
51
First, let's look at some things.
52
Specs.
53
Oh, cool.
54
So it's going to be Windows 7 Ultimate 32 -bit, and it's an evaluation copy.
55
What do you mean 10 new apps? well i have confirmed
56
my suspicions it is windows 7 with like bloatware installed wow
57

58
that had to be the most compressed mp3 file i have
59

and it being run on windows 11 on a core 2
68
duo is just not a good combination no did i just refresh the page?
69

71
This video is not supposed to be me exploring Facebook.
72
Okay, freeware sis.
73
No, I'm not signing into OneDrive.
74
Shut up.
75

76
Someone said make Windows 7 .8 super.

79
Okay, so I've apparently scrolled too far.
80
That's their Facebook page.

99
and roll over in mental anguish nothing is happening I have clicked install.
100
Nothing.
101
Hello?
102
Please don't, like, 7 million of them open now.
103
What does the activator do?
104
What is - what is opening in the background?
105
Oh, cool.
106
It's opening Firefox.
107
Windows by Dilshad, syskeysactivator .html.
108
What a surprise.
109
It doesn't exist anymore.
110
It was probably taken down long ago.
111
Okay.
112
I guess we'll be actually using the DVD.
113
Goodbye, Windows 11 and everything that is on here.
114
Okay, there's my very real Windows 9 DVD.
115
I cannot wait to put it in there.
116
What a complete waste of a dual -layer DVD.
117
Okay, in you go.
118
I'm gonna hold alt and turn this on.
119
Sounding like it's shredding the disc as usual.
120
Apple, why do your super drives from this era sound like
121
they are actively breaking themselves every time you put a disc in? hey look windows enter i am
122
so happy that i get to install this from a dvd
123
because it's gonna take longer now we made it windows 9
124
i knew it was real microsoft you can't hide numbers from us forever we eventually find them
125
and it looks very real
126
and not like crayola what why is there a random mac os close button up here what happens
127
if i click it are you sure you want to can
128
so that's a cancel button oh my god is windows 9
129

132
the wiser go please be patient dillshad sys is installing windows
133
9 edition on your system thanks for choosing dillshad sys product wow this looks very good
134
and it's very easy to read the gray text on a blue -ish gray background.
135
All right, well, gonna just wait on this now, I guess.
136
Okay, well, just reboot it into macOS.
137
I don't want to be here.
138
It did finish.
139
It took like three hours.
140
All right, restart.
141
This thing is going to be bricked.
142
Hopefully not, though.
143
Oh my god, I gotta get this disk out of here.
144
Every time it reboots, it has to read the disk before it can continue.
145
Oh, hell yeah!
146
That looks so good.
147
Dilshad's real Windows 9.
148
What's my username?
149
I'll just go with Metrobite, sure.
150
I'm gonna have my very own Windows 9 computer.
151
Type a password?
152
No. Oh good, it's finalizing your settings.
153
What is this?
154
Why did it just open like a JPEG of this?
155
That's so funny, you can't just display the image, you open up the Windows Photo Viewer to show this to me instead of like coding a window?
156
That is so funny.
157
I have a feeling this was supposed to open in like full screen
158
or something because there's a lot of stuff going on in the background.
159
Oh, I minimized it.
160
I'm never getting it back.
161
I hope there's nothing I have to click on because I just dragged this and now it's just this now.
162
Oh, good.
163
It's verifying the file security.
164
Do I trust Windows 9 to verify file security?
165
Thanks for choosing Dilshad Sys Product.
166
Sorry if I'm pronouncing that name wrong the entire video, by the way.
167
Oh, wow.
168
That looks amazing.
169
This really encompasses the design aesthetic of Microsoft.
170
Just put everything that's new over the old one and call it a day and install a bunch of bloatware.
171
F*ing driver booster is on here?
172
That's like something you download when you're 11 trying to make your Minecraft run better.
173
Why is the Windows 8 start menu on the desktop?
174
We're gonna look at all of this.
175
So as you can see, it's f*ing Windows.
176
I think we need the boot camp drivers in here because this does not look right.
177
So wait, what even is this?
178
Windows 9 Ultimate.
179
For real, dude.
180
All right.
181
What?
182
Is it 32? it's 32 -bit.
183
Great.
184
Bootcamp drivers are installed.
185
I want Aero.
186
Let's look at some themes.
187
Wait, Windows 10?
188
Oh my god, it's Windows 10, sort of.
189
Like, very sort of.
190
You know what?
191
I would believe that this is Windows 10.
192
If this is what Microsoft released, I would not bat an eye.
193
I would be like, wow, that is looking f*ing awful, but I am not surprised because it's Microsoft.
194
Okay, just for fun.
195
I want to see what the other ones look like.
196
Alloy.
197
Pretty sure that's just a standard window.
198
No, it is not.
199
This is not a standard Windows 7 theme.
200
Oh, wow.
201
Okay, Azure.
202
What have they done to these?
203
Is this real?
204
Are these what these themes just look like?
205
Black Spider.
206
I like this one a little bit.
207
Oh, yep.
208
That is Black Spider -Man.
209
HD Rev Aqua.
210
The mouse cursor has changed.
211
Oh, this one's my favorite.
212
Look at that.
213
I'm in a gaming OS.
214
HD Rev Red.
215
Oh, yeah.
216
This one's even better.
217
Look at that.
218
It's the same thing, but red.
219
Okay.
220
John Yuen Park.
221
It's Mac OS.
222
Wait, that's it?
223
It just tells me that this is the desktop and what theme it is.
224
Oh, cleaner alert.
225
You could save, what?
226
5 .38 gigabytes?
227
What?
228
I've been on this OS for like 10 minutes.
229
Media center for Windows 7.
230
Okay, this is just Windows 7, but some of the icons look not correct.
231
Microsoft.
232
Oh, Jesus Christ.
233
What the hell was that?
234
Oh, this is, this is beautiful.
235
This is my favorite one.
236
The recycle bin is a freaking incinerator.
237
What does the file explorer look like?
238
Oh, that's so good.
239
Okay.
240
Windows nine.
241
This is the one.
242
This is, this is windows nine guys.
243
Oh yeah.
244
And finally wishful dream.
245
Oh.
246
Wow.
247
That's a fairy.
248
All right, we're going to stay on Windows 9 and we're going to look at what this thing has installed by default.
249
Well, I think I want to activate my version of Windows 9.
250
Internet Explorer restricted this web page from running scripts or ActiveX controls.
251
No, allow it.
252
Allow.
253
Please install viruses.
254
Oh my God, is this an HTML file like saved to the desktop?
255
This is never going to load.
256
You know, I think what they did is they tried to save that as a shortcut to their website, but it didn't.
257
They didn't do it right.
258
And now it's just a broken html file like stuck in
259
limbo forever incredible well this is what their website may have
260
maybe looked like with a lot of missing icons what else do we have i guess we're not activating
261
that free software oh hell yeah i love me some piracy
262
allow it i think this it's the same thing just it's their site
263
but they saved it as an html file does it gotta work okay
264
and then there's like c cleaner yep it's c cleaner all
265
right driver booster what does it do it's it's scanning driver performance is bad.
266
Really, is it?
267
Because I just installed the official Apple drivers on this.
268
Scan failed.
269
Driver booster server could not be reached.
270
Yeah, I, you know, this is probably a version of driver booster from like 2014.
271
I am not surprised that you can't reach the server.
272
Windows 8 start menu.
273
This version is outdated.
274
You want to download.
275
Fine.
276
Oh my god, you have to like look at this.
277
Fine.
278
Download.
279
What is, what?
280
What do you mean?
281
What is this image?
282
What am I supposed to be able to tell from this?
283
This is, like, taken by, like, a toaster, printed out, re -scanned, and then a screenshot was taken of the PDF that it was scanned.
284
What?
285
Oh my god.
286
Don't show this again.
287
Okay.
288
Install.
289
That was fast.
290
Does it work now?
291
What is this?
292
This is, like, the Xbox interface, like, before they changed it a bunch.
293
So, like, where's the Windows 8 start menu?
294
It doesn't work.
295
Still, I updated it.
296
Fine.
297
Whatever.
298
Box it reader.
299
This is just a PDF reader.
300
No, I don't want to - I don't want whatever that said.
301
Yep, sure is a PDF reader look at it.
302
It's like better than Adobe probably.
303
Windows 9 x64.
304
Wait, is this like advertising the 64 -bit version of Windows 9?
305
Because this is definitely the 32 -bit version.
306
Oh, it's another broken HTML file.
307
Cool.
308
Control panel.
309
Is there anything installed?
310
Nothing but drivers.
311
Wait, so that means like they didn't create the registry links for any of this software, so it's just stuck on here forever.
312
Unless I go find all the folders
313
and files these have installed really nice cool windows 9 well that certainly was windows 9 all right
314
this is my favorite theme right here perfect you can't even
315
see the like buttons to close anything i suppose i should
316
probably game on this thing let's get minecraft on here all signed in
317
and we're playing java edition let's see how well this runs this computer actually runs minecraft pretty well.
318
I remember my laptop from 2011 with an i3 used to run Minecraft way worse than this thing, which has like an NVIDIA graphics card.
319
I don't know what it is, but I'll put it on the screen.
320
So if this runs badly, blame Windows 9.
321
What?
322
Launching game failed.
323
What do you mean it failed?
324
Unable to locate the Java run?
325
Oh, it doesn't have Java installed.
326
You've successfully installed java well i better hope
327
so god these sound effects okay play do you have java now it's probably not the correct java
328
so it's gonna yell at me i hope not are you
329
kidding me it needs java 21 right java 21 it only
330
has 64 -bit versions that's gonna be a problem clearly the latest one isn't gonna work
331
because i think there's only 64 -bit versions of java for
332
that one so what about 1 .7 .10 the golden age of modding let's see if
333
that works yes i understand the risks of using an old
334
version of minecraft play it i think it's working hey look at that
335
gaming how well will windows 9 play minecraft wow so yeah this is running
336
it's right it's running
337
and i'll tell you how well it's running that's the wrong button We're getting about 30 frames per second on default settings.
338
Now, if that's not absolute gaming, I don't know what that - what is.
339
Okay, it's dipping into like 15, but this is still pretty playable.
340
I would not be unhappy playing this, but there's a difference between not being unhappy and being disappointed.
341
Also, the mouse is moving very weirdly.
342
Other than that, this is pretty good.
343
I give it two o 'clock logs out of seven gamings.
344
We didn't play Minecraft until we craft something.
345
Hold on.
346
Oh, we just made Oakwood.
347
Let's make a crafting table.
348
This is a crafting table.
349
All right.
350
Bye.
351
Well, that's Windows 9, everybody.
352
I don't think you can even have this much customization in Windows anymore.
353
So honestly, this is pretty cool
354
but oh my god this looks like ultimate gaming os
355
but uh anyway that's about it if you enjoyed the video go ahead
356

362
that eject noise what does it sound like when you plug it in.
363
Oh.
364
Okay.
Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video is a goldmine for shadow speech practice—its casual, energetic tone mirrors real-life conversations, making it perfect for honing fluency. The speaker rambles, jokes, and reacts spontaneously, creating a natural flow that trains your brain to keep up with everyday English. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more like a native, mimicking this dialogue helps you master conversational rhythm and tone. Plus, the mix of questions, exclamations, and asides gives you plenty of opportunities to practice shadow speak—repeating phrases in real time to build muscle memory.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down key structures to boost your speaking skills:
- Conditional "what if": "What if I told you I had it?" This common structure is great for hypothetical scenarios—essential for IELTS part 3. Practice saying it with the speaker’s playful tone to sound natural.
- Colloquial "gotta": "Shh, gotta be quiet." Contractions like "gotta" (got to) are everywhere in casual English. Mimic the quick, relaxed pronunciation to avoid sounding too formal.
- Exclamatory questions: "What the hell? What is this?" These short, emotional questions add emphasis. Repeating them helps you convey surprise or confusion, a key part of shadowspeaks practice.
- Future "will" for predictions: "Windows 12 will be even better." Simple future tense is used here for confident predictions—perfect for discussing trends or plans.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky sounds in the video:
- "Monstrosity": The speaker pronounces it "mon-STRAS-i-tee"—don’t skip the "str" cluster. Slow down, then match the speaker’s pace to nail it.
- "Activator": The stress falls on the second syllable ("ac-TIV-a-tor"). Misplacing stress can make words unrecognizable, so use shadowing to lock in the correct rhythm.
- Contracted "it's": The speaker often shortens "it is" to "it's" with a quick "s" sound. Listen closely—overpronouncing the "t" can make you sound stilted.
This video isn’t just entertaining—it’s a shadowing site gem. By mimicking the speaker’s energy and structure, you’ll turn casual chatter into confident, natural English.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
