  • Chrysalid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42God bless Unicode... in the meantime, can anybody translate what he just said? Also, there should be some kind of a NFSW warning that there are porn ads at that site.
  • dgritsko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Babelfish gives this (Russian to English):

    Fishkina the game Of fishkina. of sylka ostalсye of video ostalсye, star ostalсye of pictures ostalсye of games ostalсye of girls search is the calendar!

    Not that that really helps much...
  • tinkafoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Nice collection of porn ads too!
  • profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Wouldn't we all like to forget about WinME?
  • goostoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22NSFW?
  • dilbertmouse, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22What's so great about that? I'm running Vista and I get the exact same amount of free memory and disk space! :-p
  • chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I think it's to Microsoft's credit that you could use 95 then move to Vista and still understand how it works. For most people (the sort who don't read digg) that's a good thing.
  • goat2, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24***** you
  • Bjarke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15FAULTLOG.TXT too large. Priceless!
  • slushpuppie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15 NSFW!
  • Katana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13See they got Windows ME running long enough to actually take some screenshots.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16As I was scrolling through, I recalled all the years of old versions, and then I came across Vista, and my initial reaction was "Damn, that looks sexy!"

    Then I saw the icons as big as cats! Holy friggin crap! You have to be legally blind to need icons that huge!
  • Buttercup, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15NSFW!!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Bah! You kids these days! Back in my day, all we had was 3.1! We didn't have built in network support, and we liked it that way!
  • dengar69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10From 1.0 to Vista.....I still see C:
  • MasterJeef, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Buried for NSFW Material, I'm totally going to get fired or something
  • jwoodsutk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I'm partial to 3.11 for workgroups, it's what i grew up on ;-)
  • bigrell486, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Unfortunately, non of the ads are porn....

    I clicked on them. :-(
  • thewalkrecords, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Win 1.01:

    "Disk Space Free: 603904k
    Free Memory: 418k"

    simply great.
  • autoy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9It would be interesting to see a Windows vs. Mac OS timeline comparing how things have developed in both sides of the fence. Just for the sake of another flamewar :)
  • mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I was wondering why it was not marked as NSFW, then I realized it would be funny to read this post titled something like -

    "From Windows 1.0 to Vista (NSFW!)"
  • AaronTyler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It would alson be great to se all of the "Blue Screen of Death" from Windows 1.0 to Vista
  • DeusMachinae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Windows is regressing...
    Paint in Windows 1.01 actually has more features than Paint in Vista...

  • wakaseoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6it means not safe for work
  • mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Eh. I think Vista's theme looks *okay* right now. If five years, it will look terrible. Just look at how Luna was amazing when it first came out, but now it sucks. Personally, I use Classic. Cant beat it.
    And yes, those icons are HUGE. Should be easy to change the settings though.
  • VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@nmap:

    I have Adblock Plus and Filterset and I certainly saw them.
  • caseycoold, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Yeah, warnings would be nice, especially for those of us reading digg on our lunch breaks at work...
  • fourinjuly4ij, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's there, just no big graphic showing it.
  • Butros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow, you sir are a corporate whore
  • gerryk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nice... except they missed the original bootsplash for Windows 95... the one shown is 95b
  • cursors, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hundreds of GUI Operating System screenshots - from Amiga to Windows - are available at http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots. And its safe for work. :)
  • nmap, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7adblock + filterset. didn't see any nsfw ads.
  • Systembomber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I love how the first screenshot for Windows ME is a system restore window.
  • joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4COOKIE ATTACK!!!!
    There were like 6 of them. Why they need them?
  • joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ahhhh. Looking back to those icons in 3.1..... takes me back........
    To when I installed Vista!
  • afx1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Oh, Real Mode, is there anything you couldn't do??
  • bedlam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have the same GUI. Server 2003 just has all the eye candy turned off and classic mode enabled by default.
  • wakaseoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thanks to the Windows 2 screenshot, I just noticed Microsoft hasn't changed its logo in the past 20 years. I'd like to compliment them for that.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I remember Windows 3.1 on my old 386 made my Magnavox.

    They forgot about Windows Millenium Edition.
  • Aldrenean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2woot! I remember playing Minesweeper and Lords of the Realm (I think that was the name) whilst eating copious amounts of Golden Grahams on 3.11...
  • the0ckid82, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3there were shots from me in there
  • b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love this advert-

  • DeusMachinae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sweet I found a download for Windows 1.0

    http://vetusware.com/download/Windows%201.01/?id=81

    I'm gonna install it on my 2 Ghz Core Duo... I bet it will fly.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They missed a ton of different versions. A while back on digg there was a list of all the different builds of every version of windows. We'd be looking at thousands of screenshots.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm sure the same applies to MacOS, Unix, Linux and the rest, but the effect of looking at the top and bottom images is amazing. Whether you use Windows or not, those pictures are great indicator of how far technology has come in the past 20 years or so.
  • dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Maybe you shouldn't be be randomly browsing the Internet at work then...?
    Besides, I really doubt you'd be fired being on a site that randomly puts "inappropriate" adverts on..

  • koolio11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wow, it's been through so much change :).
  • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13.0 for me on my 286 and dad's 386. :)
  • nstern2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No no its referred to as windows mistake edition.
  • Seibei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol. I don't think there's anything that requires a Dual Core that runs on Windows 1.0... Maybe a Pentium I. ):
