Vintage Collection of Tech Failures

StormDriver writes "For every good design there are a dozen failed concepts. Nothing illustrates that better than a great online vintage gadget collection, published yesterday by the Microsoft Research team. The collection is a brainchild of Bill Buxton, one of the principal Microsoft researchers, a guy who's been through 30 years of continuous tech design. Awarded with three honorary doctorates and several professional awards, Bill also likes to gather things – the vintage, geeky kind of things, to be precise. Over the years, he has gathered an impressive collection of prototypes, probably the best I have seen online."

Most advanced linux users do really think that Windows 7 is unstable and slow. It's slow because they run it on 15 year old hardware.

They expect old hardware to run a modern system because their modern system can run on old hardware.
