Upgrading From Windows 1.0 To Windows 7

Posted by timothy on from the wait-for-the-rickrolling dept.

An anonymous reader writes "YouTube user Andrew Tait has uploaded a video titled Chain of Fools: Upgrading through every version of Windows. Tait starts with MS DOS 5.0 running Windows 1.0 and keeps upgrading the operating system until he reaches Windows 7, taking note of the changes to system settings and application compatibility along the way."

    FWIW, we have something like 13 computers in our house, and not one of them runs MS software! My wife has a couple of Apple Mac Pro laptops, a Sony Vaio running Scientific Linux, and a netbook running Ubuntu. I have an 8 core workstation running SL6, a laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.10, an older workstation running Gentoo, an ever older 486 workstation running QNX 4.0, and two Nexus One Android phones. Then there is assorted other stuff (Palm Pilots, iPods, iPhones, etc). I guess you could call our house "Windowless"! :-)

    Well... aren't you special..

    When I got divorced, my ex asked me to build her a computer. I obliged, and as a parting shot, told her I installed the latest-greatest operating system from Microsoft... hope you enjoyed ME, dear.

    Shut up and be quiet, I am at a critical stage of hex-editing a drivers binary code trough a serial cable so I can Linux to boot again. Then I can finally have a go at getting the sound to work again after submitting the patch to the distro managers. Sniff.

    ...this strikes me as someone who has too much time on his hands.

    ... so I thought I'd go on Slashdot and post my opinion on that.

    > VMware can grow disks.

    WRONG. All those products in the spam you get or that you see in magazines are just totally useless ripoffs and they'll probably just cause more problems than-- oh, you said DISKS. Sorry, never mind.
