Windows Video: Upgrading Through Every Version
Video of "An experiment to see the effects of installing every major upgrade version of windows, in order, on the same machine."
An enterprising individual shot a video of “An experiment to see the effects of installing every major upgrade version of windows, in order, on the same machine.” All in 9 minutes, 49 seconds.
Of course, it took much, much longer to do that for each individual version at the time. But modern computers are so much faster than the ones at the time of the older Windows versions that they can be installed in a blink. If you still remember DOS commands, of course.
@James,
The narrator talks about how long each install took; often over an hour. The 9:49 runtime is due to thoughtful editing on his part, not faster processors.
@Andyman:
Ah! My audio is broken, so I just watched some of the video.
There are people still using Windows?
95% of the people, Michael.
No Windows ME?
Some of us like to have more control over our hardware and software, as opposed to playing in Glorious Leader Steve Jobs’ Walled Garden.
Seeing that DOS installation I suddenly felt soooooooooooo old :o)
95% of the people, Michael.
Not quite. More like 87%.
Fair enough, Mantis. 87% it is.
Anyone who’s into gaming will likely be using a Windows machine.
I’m still using windows (XP) because the MacOS offers me nothing. If I could afford to buy a copy of win7 I’d be running that. Just for kicks I actually had an install of XP on my “server” that was skinned and reworked to look just like OS X..
