The Evolution of Microsoft Windows (11 pics)

How do you do that on windows 7?

O.K. this is more my speed, I remember '85 'cuz dos sucked and anything, mind you, ANYTHING! was better and we lived through the progess.. until VISTA! OH GOD! KILL ME NOW! but 7 is the shizzznit thus far ... so I'm happy after 2 decades of progress,,, I still thank God I don't work w/mac. MUCK FAC! Plus you can't overclock an 8088

7 and vista are identical. Anyone who hates vista is a moron.

The issue was that is was so structurally different/better in the way it handled audio and video that companies had to rewrite their drivers to work with it.

Now they have all caught up and Microsoft had to re-brand it as 7 so the idiots that fell for the Apple smear campaign would buy it again.

xp was to 2000 as 7 is to vista.

caddock,

My balls are identical... you know shit about Vista & 7.... you gotta be some random user...

Yay making computers easier!!!! Im sure soon enough everything will just be voice activated and motion sensor blah blah.... I play the 360 kinect and my wife has the thing on her cell that converts voice mail into text messages. The technology is there just need to put it together.....

Egads - 1985? The blue screen of death brought to you by Microsoft for the last quarter of century? Unix/Linux/OS X rules!

they all suck

the avatar computer are my dreams just transfer from a pc to a tablet just used a hand stroke huhuhuh

the real question is....

are our lives better for it?

times change...

caddock,
Vista sucks, 7 its much more better than that.


I remember the times I used 3.1, 95 and 98 xD But my pc now only works with XP xD.
And 2000 was awful.

Times change quickly !

StaticX,
I think 2000 was much better than XP. Much more faster, and the most important, no bloatware!

do i win any internet points for proving my point with facts?

HMMMMMMM

and where is Win Me ?!?! it was the best OS for gamers at that time

i miss win3.1

I remember loading 95 (called Chicago at the time) on a PC with a huge stack of 3 1/3"' diskettes.

caddock,

You don't use your pc for anything but surfing the net if you think there is no difference between Vista and Win 7.

First off, when Vista was released Microsoft had the IP stack so fucked up that transferring files over a network took TWICE as long as XP. It was like that until SP1 was released, months after Vista was out before they fixed it. That was an epic fail for businesses who, as a result, didn't bother purchasing it. Production took twice as long, what company in their right mind is going to pay someone to work slower??

Two, the communication between MS and the hardware vendors was slow and sometimes wrong and that's why you didn't have drivers for a lot of products for almost a year after it was released. If anyone had a Creative Labs sound card or Nivida graphics card, you know what I'm talking about. It was not all the third party's fault for bad or late drivers.

Regardless of how it may run now stability wise, it's still a resource hog. You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a fucking pig no matter how much you dress it up.

Windows 7?

I started with Win3.1

Good days, good days..

Shit, Windows 98 was cool

Still chugging along with XP.

i got 2 computers with same spec one with vista and one with 7. the vista pc is mega slow, twice as long to install or update anything everything runs slower takes longer to start up.

my win7 pc has same software but everything is faster and noticably everything runs much better

And still not as good as mac

Pointe the first: Caddock, you're a douche.

Pointe the seconde: 25 years later and Windows still sucks the poo out of a monkey's butt.

yeah, in all honesty, I don't think it has changed that much.

Wow I remember waking in the middle of the night just to use my dads computer, Win 95 was my first OS, Vista is the only system that I never really used on daily basis, I used it once and never really felt for it, Win 7 is a whole different story, short story I love it so far, everything runs smoothly but nothing beats XP

sawo,
Faster maybe, but still sucked. XP has better features.
