Neowin.net presents Micro$oft Windows History, with information and screen shots from Windows 1.0 on through Windows Server 2003. I started with 3.1 way back when and remember how crappy the desktop was; Norton Desktop was a must add-on to make it at all palatable, if I remember correctly. The earlier versions look a lot like the GEOS operating system on the Commodore 64; coincidence? Actually, the Macintosh is the granddaddy of all GUIs, something that Bill Gates is loath to admit, I’m sure.
