Screenshot History of Windows

OMFG. Have you SEEN Windows 1 || 2? I've seen better shell scripts. I AM sorry for Windows 1 || 2 users. It must have been hell. Almost like installing Debian.
neowin's web interface sucks!
There are 18 pages in the article, but there's no "Next" or "Prevous" links. Instead, you have to pick out the next page from a list in the lower left corner of the page. Over in the lower right, there's what's apparently supposed to be a better navigation tool, but it seemed to be stuck on "1 2 3 ... >>", where the "..." wasn't a link. The digits took you to the appropriate pages, the ">>" seems to be to take you to the last page, but instead takes you to page 10.
Also, clicking on any of the images brought it up in a new window, overlaying the original, so I couldn't navigate back except by closing the window. That really sucked, and discouraged me from investigating many of the images. (Of course, if you're anticipating being slashdotted, maybe you don't want people trying to load many of the images!)
Overall, I'd submit this article for inclusion in the hall of shame, except that http://www.iarchitect.com/ doesn't seem to have survived the dot-bomb crash.
Nothing for 6-digit uids?
Im already laughing from my PC at how Mac and *nix lUsers smugly think that their OS is so much better! Hohoho, yeah, I really want to write a virus for the Mac so all three people that use it will be harmed!!
