A brief history of Windows

Advogato has a nice, yet brief, history of Windows. Some very interesting commentary about the teams behind the NT core and 9x core to go along with the history lesson.

So, where are we: Windows NT 3.5 is basically a really good, well-designed, well-planned operating system, running sub-systems and sub-processes that don't matter if they crash; Windows 3.1 becomes Windows 95 because the NT team develop "NEWSHELL.EXE" for one of the Windows NT 3.51 betas and the '95 team get wind of it and rip it off; Linux has just got a foot in the door...
