Back in 1983, 25 years ago, the world was quite different. The market for the home computer - still a fairly new market - was wide open, but Apple was about to make a major splash with its Macintosh. It was also the year in which a company from Redmond first introduced its "Windows" operating system. What is this Windows you speak of?

That Windows 1 sucked plums. It was not until Windows 2 that people began to see the potential.
I myself did not, I prefered Geoworks or Desqview at the time.
I was starting to come around to Windows when I had a go on Windows 3.0, but still prefered DOS.
Windows 3.1 did not do much to change my mind, but Windows 3.11 did.
After using that happily for a few years, Win 95 came out, then it all started to go downhill.
My last happy experience with Windows was with Win2k. I long for those days again with every new release. Hoping that it will get me as excited as it did in the 3.11 or 2k releases. Heres hoping.
