* While not officially branded as part of the Windows 98 Destruction, Joel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc0baiM17Nc fumbling around trying to get]] his copy of ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' to run on the same VM ends up becoming destruction. At one point, Joel misinterprets a dialog calling for a specific [=DirectX=] version or Windows NT 4 [=SP4=] (a completely different OS) and ''actually tried to install a service pack for a completely different OS on Windows 98.'' He doesn't end up doing so, but he does have fun poking at some of the files.

* Joel going full on apeshit Swede mode [[https://youtu.be/Y0u-n7o518o?t=4235 after seeing a Lidl ad]] on [=YouTube=] while browsing for totally not fake shitty antivirus videos is truly a sight to behold.

* Joel visits (what used to be) the Airy Antispyware website, which is now a ww1 domain. One of the suggestions on the page is "FREE FUCK SITE" in Swedish.

** At one point, Joel went on a panic after discovering a folder named [[NamesTheSame "Drop Box"]], confusing a network sharing specifics with the cloud file hosting site.

* Joel finds an "interesting" fangame known as ''New Super Mario Forever 2015'', which had downright [[UncannyValley bizarre animations]] for Mario, and text-to-speech voice acting for Princess Peach.

** He also installs some programs from more than 10 years ago, such as [=CCleaner=], a 2005 version of Norton Antivirus and older versions of [[EverythingsBetterWithLlamas Winamp]] and [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem ZSNES]]. But a expected certain program was not expected: [=HyperCam2=]. By recording his audio from Sound Recorder and typing on Notepad, he did a ''standard'' [=HyperCam2=] video, straight from the realms of 2008-12 era [=YouTube=]:

* [[https://youtu.be/dsvE5WLyU2o?t=1513 The third part]] features a literal example of Windows Destruction, via an application that lets you damage your desktop with virtual weapons.

* Joel is sent the file to a game called [[https://youtu.be/wsNNzJADDlA?t=1314 "Twister Ice Fun"]] (a game that's little more than an advertisement for the ice cream [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_(ice_cream) Twister]]), with the sender writing nothing but "[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU JOEL]]" in the accompanying email. He quickly regrets going into the "Twister Zone" when the game launches with a Slovak commercial for Twister that, for whatever reason, is [[SensoryAbuse Earth-shatteringly loud]].

--->'''Joel''': "N-no, get away!-"

--->'''Joel''': Guys, that might actually be the loudest thing I've ever heard in my entire fucking life.

** It's even better in the highlights video, where there are vocals accompanying the chaotic audio playback; the scream at the end in particular is accompanied by an animation of [[AssShove Mario jumping right inside Wario's ass]].

--> '''Joel''': Did you know this software [[TemptingFate is really good at recognizing my voice?]]

* Through chat decisions, Joel tried to install ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' hacks but forgetting one thing... The main Roblox game itself.

* By opening some folders in his Desktop, Joel see some Nintendo Browsers made by [=MediaBrowser=] for use with some Nintendo websites ranging from [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 Nintendo 64]] through [[UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube GameCube]]. From the ''VideoGame/MarioTennis'' one:

** Due for the browser's code being based on Internet Explorer 5, most websites doesn't work with it anymore. With the exception of one: Bing.

[[folder:VineOS Destruction]]
In 2019, Joel shows the [=VineOS=], a Windows XP build with some Vinesauce and PCRF logos scattered through the OS itself.

* As usual, he starts up by installing unpopular antiviruses and PC Optimizer clones through Softonic and Softpedia.
** He also installs various search toolbars, almost every one of them using the same homepage frontend and Google as Search bar.
* Through chat decisions, Joel tried to install ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' hacks but forgetting one thing... The main Roblox game itself.
* From one, of his multiple PC Optimizers installed:
--> '''Joel''': Your system status: BAD.
** After blaming the program about installing multiple toolbars, antiviruses and PC Optimizers in background:
---> '''Joel''': (laughing) Your system status is GOOD now! Okay well, thanks! It just felt guilty!
* A new impersonation was also done by him: During his moment through a German program, he did a [[GermanHumour German impersonation]] as if such was spoken by Yoda.
* By opening some folders in his Desktop, Joel see some Nintendo Browsers made by [=MediaBrowser=] for use with some Nintendo websites ranging from [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 Nintendo 64]] through [[UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube GameCube]]. From the ''VideoGame/MarioTennis'' one:
--> '''Joel''': This is the secret of downloading shit software. You don't need modern Firefox, you need '''Mario Tennis Browser.'''

** The stream continues by installing more older programs such as Netscape, [=KaZaA Lite=], [=LimeWire=] and Napster.
* From his MIDI folder previously seen on his Shareware Madness streams, he plays a MIDI version of ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 DuckTales]]'' theme on Winamp, bringing his incident at the PC version of ''[[VideoGame/PennAndTellersSmokeAndMirrors Desert Bus]]''.
* As for the grand finale, Leurak hits the end of stream with a surprise .bat file for Joel. The OS starts being corrupted on the screen, freezing the perfomance many times. Until it goes BSOD and... '''''[=DOSert=]''''' Bus, a version of Desert Bus made for MS-DOS by Leurak itself boots up. Joel had a choice of playing it for 8 hours, however, due to the charity schedule, he decided to give up and... He ''ducked'' up. Again. [[labelnote:Note]] Interesting enough, the staff roll of Vinesauce is Hope 2019 featured one bus on the desert while the ''Moon'' music from [[Videogame/DuckTales DuckTales:]] Remastered being played in background.[[/labelnote]]
--> Game Over.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J57LQ1OrVfs Joel's first attempt at destroying Windows 98]]. One highlight of note is his attempts at downloading [=BonziBUDDY=] ultimately [[ShaggyDogStory falling apart]] because [=BonziBUDDY=] is ''too new'' to work on 98. He later does a proper one in 2018.
** Joel tapping into young Joel gives us this nonsense:
---> '''Joel''' ''(snapping into young Joel)'': Hingy dingy dorgy dorgy!
** While Joel declares this attempt at destroying Windows 98 to be a bust, he does finish the system off by [[MemeticMutation deleting system32]]. After that, he tries the Deltree command on the root of the C drive, which ends up deleting everything.
---> Invalid system disk. Replace the disk, and press any key.
* By popular demand, Joel takes a crack at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw12NSlfGIA destroying a Mac]]. It turns out to be harder than with Windows, but he manages to find a way. He also plays the game ''VideoGame/LoseLose'', which deleted several files on the computer before crashing.
-->'''Joel:''' Rest in peace, Mac. I will never touch you again.
* Joel's first attempt at destroying Linux is on the infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TPTAVA9_rg Red Star OS]]. You heard that right; the Linux-based OS for [[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea North Korean]] domestic use.
** Right off the bat, Joel mentions that there's over two thousand e-mail telling him to do the destruction on said OS under one condition; never hooked it up to the Internet. [[TemptingFate He did]].
--->'''Joel:''' I like to live dangerously.
** Joel explores the wallpaper selection and slowly giggles when he discovers the bizarre assortment of wallpapers the OS have. Highlights including a poorly photoshopped artillery brigade in some snowy forest and a surreal photoshopped image of a field with tractor engines.
--->'''Joel:''' I don't know about you guys, but it's like watching a fake image, i don't know. It's like the perspective is wrong, it's uncanny!
** Despite saying that he likes to live dangerously, the actual 'destruction' is consisting of just him opening various writing tools like notepad and sticky notes that simply says "hi i'm joel and i like nice things" like [[{{Irony}} Joel is begging for his life in a gunpoint]].
** At one point, Joel went on a panic after discovering a folder named [[NamesTheSame "Drop Box"]], confusing a network sharing specifics with the cloud file hosting site.
** Joel decided to replace the current wallpaper with a high resolution picture of Luigi. But because he's selecting the tiled selection, the image appears as if Luigi's [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall peeking at Joel's desktop]], much to his chagrin.
** Afterwards, Joel went on infinitely copying a video of Gachimuchi on the desktop until the process was terminated since he had no permission to access the file.
--->'''Joel:''' Oh no, oh no, oh no *laughing* oh no, there's too many Gachimuchi on my desktop.
** The end of the stream has Joel accessing the OS from the root file, and he uses a specific command to essentially delete almost every component of the OS akin of deleting the [=system32=] for Windows. At first, Joel didn't find any difference until the UI disappears and nothing loads properly. Joel then reboots the OS, only to be greeted by the OS failed to boot properly and rebooting infinitely, again and again.

It begins with Joel [[TakeThat commenting]] on the user-unfriendly layout of Windows 8's start menu, saying that it may as well be his fastest destruction video. The weather app prompts him to enter a location, to which Joel responds typing in "Hell". Then he chooses Hell, Michigan... [[ShaggyDogStory and it promptly displays a "No data available" error message.]]

One of Joel's most famous gags is his Windows Destruction streams, which as the title would tell you, has Joel doing absolutely horrible things to various operating systems starting from Window XP and so on. Usually, Joel would start it by doing something tame, like installing toolbars from dubious sites and various free antivirus and optimizers, which of course always cause the problems they ostensibly fix. It got worse from there, and he always finishes off the destruction process with a bang by rendering the operating systems inoperable through various things, like [[MemeticMutation deleting System32]] or installing user-made software that will swiftly destroys the OS [[ControllableHelplessness without giving him any chance to recover from it]], like Bonzify et cetera.

-->'''Joel''': How is this convincing in any way, shape, or form? This is him literally going '''"[[NoIndoorVoice I DUNNO! I DUNNO!! 'S A BUNCHA SHIT!!!]]'''"
