With all of the latest fanfare about the new Microsoft operating system entitled "Vista" making the news, I got to thinking back about my experiences with all of the previous versions. I did a quick search and found that Microsoft has an information page that outlines the history of it's world famous O/S. Click here to learn all about Windows starting back at its original version "1.0".
I actually started using computers before they even had operating systems. I used "DOS" - as probably many of you did. For those unfamiliar with the "Disk Operating System" - it was simply computer commands typed out in text on a black screen. Eventually, images were viewable within DOS, but not very well. There was no mouse to use, no music to stream, no videos to download.
By the way, please do not feel compelled to run out and purchase "Vista". Most savvy computer people wait typically a good year before upgrading to a newer O/S - if they do at all. It certainly is not a requirement and in most cases, the first release is still very, very "buggy". Let the other guy purchase "Vista" and then let Microsoft get all of the kinks worked out over time.
That's just my humble opinion though.
