Upgrading From Windows 1.0 To Windows 7
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."

There's no need to argue with the OSX guys. About the only thing OSX really offers over windows is the fact that it's a unix (albeit a poor one...). Other than that, security is in both Linux and Windows courts, as OSX has always been going down first. Perhaps that will change with 10.7 so at least OSX will last as long for once.
And one of it's weaknesses. Imagine if you had to buy pants that have room for a diaper. Or that all cars had provisions for being drawn by a horse. Or every boat had a mast and sails.
Backwards compatibility can become an impediment to a proper design.
My UID is prime. Hah!
