- ryan4477, on 10/12/2007, -18/+68they left out the most common screen: the BSoD!
- tarpit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21They don't have windows for workgroups, or and of the server iterations. From someone who has worked with every version of M$ Windows (1 and 2 out morbid curiosity), this is pretty lame. Check out the GUI Gallery at Toasty Tech for EVERY GUI out there http://toastytech.com/guis/index.html
- bflfab, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I only clicked to see if he had MS Bob screenshots. Sadly, no.
- corinth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14I found this intriguing. It's interesting to be able to see how far the Windows GUI has come.
- iBrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Digg - Helping make websites go down one at a time... helping the mirrors go down ten times at a time.
- anirudhn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Not able to view this site.
This one has history of almost all the OSes: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots - jonnypyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7LOL it mirrored the 404
- neoknight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8digg needs to start paying sites for increased bandwidth cost so WE CAN READ THE DAMN ARTICLES!
- kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7No they just need to (as I have said before) place a duggmirror.com link in the threads header. This way the mirror would be made before bandwidth could be exhausted.
They could have it so duggmirror.com mirrors of pages retire after a week, if trying to cut down on costs. /me shruggs - gr8one, on 10/12/2007, -8/+14Don't discount the value of rounded corners....
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Not working.
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Yes, Windows Me was a horrible disappointment.

if by "full multitasking" you mean pre-emptive multitasking then WinNT had full multitasking in NT 3.1 (1993) if you mean multithreaded then winNT also had that in 93 - bbxboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Urk'! It's like watching a snuff film... you know what the horrid ending is going to be but you just can't look away...
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No kidding even Google Cache is taking it's sweet time.
- magicmarc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8That would be awesome. All standard screen shots of each OS, except ME, which just has one or two different BSoDs.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i use win2k pro if ever really need to boot a windows box (usually thru vmware ;)
i also prefer it to all of the other windows versions - cpmcd2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Bueller?....... Bueller?
- erikuma, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5It's quite lame. They should also point out the releases of Windows that gone failed but has been shipped, such as Windows NT Terminal Server and Windows Portable. Also the timetable isn't quite correct, compared to Microsft and PC Magazine's timetable.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Personally, I find XP being more stable than 2000. Heck, I've forgot when I last had a blue screen, or even any serious problem with it. I can understand those liking 2000 more though, as it's a sweet spot between performance (slightly lower requirements than XP) and power for Windows operating systems. It's especially appealing if you don't do much gaming with it. Just too bad MS isn't operating with OSS standards, or else 2000 would still have been supported at the very least with patches.
- hmemcpy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, cPanel's 404 page looks great.
- DigitalDud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@gropo
There's a difference between what you preceive to be the system freezing and whats actually going on. Just because Explorer is saturating the system with I/O requests and page faulting all over doesn't mean other processes aren't getting the CPU. - DigitalDud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2By comparison, MacOS wasn't pre-emptively scheduled until OSX and Linux didn't even support threads until fairly recently. Threads are still a bit of a hack in Linux, as indicated by ps mistakingly listing threads as processes.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2diggmirror doesnt seem to have gotten it either.
- JacNet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stupid noobs can't afford the bandwidth.
- mukund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess Digg Comments makers are left with nothing construcive but to critisize windows or Microsoft. same boring repetative comments on each and every story on digg which indirectly says "We hate microsoft". :) No matter what the story is about. :)
Move ahaed guys. Forget Microsoft. They do not have much of an importance in our life. :)
Long live google and Mac. - airjrdn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I didn't see this site in time, but here's a mirror of a site with similar content from awhile back:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/b4231295-67e0-4600-8b97-16762ad8dd55/The-Evolution-of-Windows.htm - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2zportz : Did you check the mirror before you comment'd it...?
- Ben - fredvw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Frye?....Frye?
- Kappa3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3ROFLzzz
- Crazysah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I also can't see the site now.
- szembek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't be ridiculous. It has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade.
- M4cb0y, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.fixmyxp.com/images/winscreenshots/windows_nt351_screenshot2.gif
Is it just me or does Clippy look evil in that pic? - wsuBobby, on 10/21/2007, -1/+0shut it guy who looks stuff up on wikipedia then tries to bust someone out on digg. take your pocket protector out and quit playing warcraft... your dungeon master is calling...
- bbardlbradd, on 10/12/2007, -8/+7OK.... WTF IS W/ THE LINKS AND TEH 404!>!>!>!???!??!?!
- TommyPeschel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4I think it would have been way better if they would have put the screen shots into a slide show or something like that.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1What kind of revisionist history is that? The first screenshots should be the GUI Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer stole from Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Marked as inaccurate. And all of you WIndows fanbois can digg me down if you want, but come on. We all know what really happened by now. It is factual desktop computing history.
- gropo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@ icmp
Very true, given an underpowered CPU, mousing over the Documents directory within the Start menu is capable of entirely freezing the OS. No task manager. No app switching. Just wait until it finishes crunching the contents. Pre-emptive multitasking my ass. - TheLlamaIs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Pitty it isn't working anymore...

bleh - cryonox, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4here's what it says....

The requested URL //content/view/177/129/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -25/+19I see that joke book from '94 is still working well for you. that's nice.
- MikeEnIke, on 10/12/2007, -13/+6All this did was make me realize the complete lack of advancement in windows in anything other than GUI..
- icmp, on 10/12/2007, -14/+8I dont think Windows has actual multitasking even now -- XP (and 2000, and evidently all of NT) use time slicing as its predecessors did.. (The Programs option allocates short, variable time slices (quanta) to running programs, and the Background services option assigns long, fixed quanta. from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417)
Observe the way the OS likes to deadlock when any given process enters an infinite loop and uses 100% of the cpu and contrast that with the behavior of UNIX-based OSes with schedulers which more closely represent "multi-tasking"
Perhaps Vista will be different at only 30 years later. - Shmoo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3http://duggmirror.com/design/The_History_of_Windows_in_Screen_shots
Ah, doesn't work, sorry - nstanosheck, on 10/12/2007, -22/+14Down after only 40 diggs? Must be running on Windows! :-p
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -14/+6Hemingrubbish is absolutely right. Compared to other GUIs of AmigaOS, MacOS, BeOS and many others, they really didn't get far.
The Amiga had full multitasking in 1986, Windows had it 10 years later. - Alisic, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7http://www.duggmirror.com
