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."

    Man, this person is a confirmed hard core masochist! Arrrrgh! If he's married, my sympathies to his wire/partner! Whenever I run Windows, I cringe and run screaming back to my Linux systems. Unfortunately, there is ONE program that I have to use that ONLY runs on Windows, so I run it on an XP virtual machine on my Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL6) workstation, or my Ubuntu laptop when I'm on the road.

    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"! :-)
