Windows Development - History/Evolution

[Cyberion]

It's me again..

I'm doing a presentation on the evolution of Windows OS's..

Starting with 1.0 through Windows Longhorn.

Does/Can anyone hook me up with some screen shots of OLD OS's..

Thus 1.x.. 2.x.. so on.

I'll be abusing google for this.. :P Google Images. h34r:" class="inlineimg" /> h34r:" class="inlineimg" />

Thanks again for keeping me posted,
Cybey

EDIT: I'll be compiling my findings for due date of next monday.

I bow to my family here to some, hopefully positive, feedback.

Code:

http://www.cyberion.sytes.net/misc/cis135/

I guess I should of called it "A Brief Evolution of Windows"

The presentation is in that folder. Its 20 slides.

2 videos w/out however the videos are

LH3683PreviewLong-WiNBETA.avi (from eD2k or something of that nature, as I just wanted a video of Longhorn being used. My class will find it funny with the "winbeta rules" shpeal on the side.. hahh)

TaskGallery.mpg (from Microsoft Research)

Code:

http://research.microsoft.com/ui/TaskGallery/index.htm

I was thinking of putting a webpage type presentation.. However, we are family, and plus.. if you want to use my presentation, that is totally cool with me. Just post that your doing that. For everyone to see.

EDIT: Damn it.. I just realised that the videos may not work on some computers. I'm tring @ Champlain on a lab computer and its not perfectly working. I'm not going to bring her down, as I'm proud of my presentation. Granted, more work could have been put in, I'm just not sure what else to add.

Window NT 4.0.. no "official" info Microsoft pulled it from their site. I guess they are not supporting it any longer. Wow.... Please give feed back though. Does it at least reach par? We are always our worst critics. I just hope I'll do well tomorrow night @ 5:30pm for class.

I also forgot Odyessy.. I'm find all these holes in my presentation.

I included Windows 96,97,99,Neptune,Longhorn, and Blackcomb too. Though the task gallery is supposed to my answer to the Blackcomb "?."

I'm so nervous too.. and the presentation is only supposed to be 15 minutes...
11minutes of video
9 minutes of content.
----------
20 minutes of me standing up there.

You can tell I don't like public speaking, though I will do it when nessessary. I'm 23 too, I should be much more comfortable then other first year students in my class.

I'll stop ranting.. thanks for reading though.
