Next to Vista, I think Windows 3.0 is the best looking one of all.

Wow. I came in right at Windows 95, I was 10. Those were the days, all I knew was how to play solitaire, and Oregon Trail.

So much for originality. This is little more than plagiarism: see http://tinyurl.com/2h7lxj for the original source from 5 years ago (at Infosatellite).

There are more respectable ways to attract readers you know. Look up ProBlogger and JohnChow.com maybe you'll learn something.

yitzle said...

I agree with anonymous. After 95, it headed downhill. Or maybe after 98. That wasn't too bad.

Unknown said...

How can you possibly prefer 98 over XP? Granted, Windows XP requires a bit more memory, but the stability increase was substantial. The amount of hang-ups and crashes reduced a lot for me. And those who didnt like the way XP looks, can always switch to classic mode. I personally think it beats Windows 98 by miles.

But really, none of the MS Operating Systems have been really great, nor have any Open Source or Mac Operating Systems imo. No OS has really done what users needed perfectly. Maybe there's no such thing. But we make do with what we've got.

Anyul said...

Windows UE. It beats all!!!.

Done.

but definitively, the best OS is: SEX!!!!

Can't believe no one posted about 2000 yet? This is THE version of windows imho. What can I not do with 2000? My main home server is a 2000 print and file server. What more can anyone need? 2000 forever!

Nomad said...

The images on the screen provide an interesting history of portions of the Windows GUI... but the years and the intensity of effort involved are hidden.

The mistakes and the oversights by Microsoft in the development of Windows get a lot of attention and scorn - as well as their corporate tendency to steal ideas from smaller companies - which often is deserved, but at the core of the originl Windows (and the Mac OS) is a massive amount of effort by software people struggling toaccomplish something very difficult that had not been done before.

Anonymous said...

That's pretty swell

Unknown said...

BSD, nuff said!!!

Unknown said...

Nice trip down memory lane. I remember it all. Personally I'd like to see a parallel timeline for the other OS's mentioned. It would be interesting to see how they compared side by side over their evolutions --and how they fed off each other.

Unknown said...

Xerox "sold the farm" to Apple. That's where it started. Long -hair visionaries sitting on bean-bag chairs at Xerox. (See "Revenge of the Nerds" on PBS for first-hand interviews.)

As far as Wintel: 2KPro is the leanest non-server OS on that platform. Mac/BSD is better at home, and they come out with the GUI before Windows steals it-- every time.

Spencer Ferguson said...

Wow! It really puts all of the Microsoft Windows releases in perspective.

Unknown said...

Correction: The PBS show was "TRIUMPH of the Nerds". ("Revenge" was an idiotic movie in the eighties.) --oops.

Why does the screen shot under Windows 1.0 show (in the about box) "version 1.01"?

I think that isn't the correct screen shot for Windows 1.0.

I think everything published made a ton of sense.
But, think about this, suppose you composed a
catchier title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a title that grabbed a person's
attention? I mean "Windows Evolution" is a little vanilla.
You could glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article titles to get viewers interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you've got to say.
Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

Getting rich is not the result of saving, or "thrift"; many very penurious people are poor, while free spenders often get rich.
I can attest to that, but I have one major problem: I cannot afford
to keep on paying up to $14 for every book
that I want to read. A thought in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged
by the thought.
