Microsoft Windows History

[dmylonas1993]

Thanks for this video!!! I used this translated in greek for my school project!!! Would you like to create a new vid with windows 8 when they released??

[RyanCiliberti]

windows xp and windows 7 are the best

[SuperMario32game]

I am not sure why, but why did NT 3.x, NT 4/5 Beta have the MS-DOS Logo on the Command Prompt?

[22ness0hayden]

I started with 3.11 but having used Macs found the interface really weird. I had to get a PC for uni. Win95 fixed the interaface and made it mich more logical like a Mac. Win98 was still buggy for me and every year I had to do a fresh install to speed things up again (bloat). Win XP I have used since it came out and only had one Virus that wrecked my install. Apart from that it runs good as the day I installed it. My Dad brought a new PC with Visa - horrible! Win 7 I have tried but XP just works

[22ness0hayden]

I can't believe MS claimed Vista targeted flaws in XP! Vista was an absolute joke.

[SuperMario32game]

7:01 Super Mario Forever (Super Mario Bros Hack!)? Yay! 100th comment on this vid!

[ryukikass]

I hate the font w/ the shadow. It looks blurry!!

[jgoettle2007]

What is the name of the song you used in this video?

[MultiColiflower]

half way through this video i jumped out my my seat and started doing to robot :)

[RedSkullTheNewestPRO]

new operating system : Windows SkyNet 2012 lol

[RedSkullTheNewestPRO]

Windows Vista sucks! why do you have that system speed? wow it's really fast! :)

[SuperUniverse555]

Windows Xp, Windows Vista, Windows 7, well, what's next!

Windows 3000 Professional

Windows 2000 Ultimate

Windows NT 6.0

Windows 6.0

Windows 2015 Professional

Windows Whistler 2.0

Windows Me Professional

[Labruskie]

I can't watch this... Keep thinking something seriously disastrous is gonna happen... BBC News theme? WOT?

[disabledpikachu]

BBC News theme.,.. why?

[akitzu1]

Windows 1.0 is better than windows 7!

[SuperUniverse555]

@akitzu1 No It isn't. Windows 7 is better than Windows 1.0. :3

[LOLZpersonok]

Just think - the changes from Windows 1 to Windows 7. The style, features, and the way they work. Then you'll know how far Microsoft came with Windows. I think that Windows 7 is by far the best OS by Microsoft.

[Meisamyt]

Windows 1.0 Beta, W Chicago, W NT 5.0 (beta2), W Neptune, W Whistler, W Longhorn and W Server Longhorn never released ... epic fail, not mention Vista xD

[gameboy3800]

you forgot hp (home premium) other than that it's a fantastic vid you made here.

[dwdwsk8123]

vai toma no cu bando de ingles

[burger414]

This video was well produced. Good job.

[xilefian]

When having a line-up like that, you can really see where Windows took their ideas from.

Windows 1-3 seems to be borrowing designs from X System and Mac OS

XP's look was made in response to OSX, which had eye candy all over it

Vista's Gadgets seem to be a shameless complete copy of OSX's Widgets

Windows7's taskbar is incredibly similar to KDE1.0, I mean, really, REALLY similar

Protected memory is probably the best thing that came out of Windows.

[didogazeto]

you forget windows 8 :)

[compdude100]

I love your music!!!!!!!

[signbrat01]

i like window 7

[mrdaxtercrane]

[yaqubrox]

sir this video to good , i want to know the commands typed by you to see which windows you have install i;e on windows vista please

[Medessec]

simply go to Start>Run, and type in "winver". This shows you what version, service pack, and edition of Windows you have installed.

[yaqubrox]

@Medessec thank you

[WestHam3Millwall1]

This video deserve much more than 3,846 views. However you did miss out Windows server 2003 and 2008. But still a very good video 5/5

[TheSilentNinja10]

Love this video, I'm inspired to make one now, LOL

[standingcam]

The reason why Windows 2000 was NT based is because Windows NT 5.0 was the beta, and 2000 was supposed to be called NT 5.0. It was called 2000 because, well... 2000!

[tornado784]

I use the full copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, it is a torrent though, I am wishing to soon get the geniune version!

[ultimatetoturial56]

win 7 is the best windows version ever!!!!!!!!!

i love the music. it follows the hype of each version of windows.

[BlossomWolf5]

Thanks.

[bwee11]

Great video,

The thing is many of the operating system were unsafe,like,

Windows 2000,Windows Me,that was due to the millenuim virus,Yet so was vista,it was always failing,that is one reason why Windows 7 was brought along,windows xp,98,95,i have my home computer running on 98 its never fail a few updates but still going,windows xp very safe, on my laptop i have xp,windows 95 used to have it but no longer used,very reliable,

Im very looking forward to windows 7,but i dont make youtube videos

[compdude100]

@bwee11:

"...so was vista, it was always failing..."

perfect! I like that!!!!!!!!!

[portjvgm]

este video da ganas de llorar T_T...

[AimalCool]

Great video! But you've made a small mistake, Windows Me was released after Windows 2000.

[compdude100]

yeah well he showed us all the 9x Win os's, then he showd us all the Nt versions of Windows

:D

[AimalCool]

BBC music, LOL

[MapleStoryP]

now that you think of it, windows 3.0 DOES look like a mac.

5/5 cool

[heartheart47]

GET A FUCKING MAC

[HCNguyen86]

learn to use windows.

[heartheart47]

WHICH RUNS BETTER ON A MACK, if you're so in love with it

[HCNguyen86]

This is why I don't use Mac* os. Idiots like you make no sense.

[genesis557]

Nice video, exactly what I was looking for. Wanted to see what windows 2000 looked like.

[compdude100]

AWESOME VID! I love the music! Where can i download it

[Medessec]

Just google "Download BBC Countdown Compilation" you'll find it :)

[glanrichbex]

@compdude100

If you use Linux instead of windoze you can just pull this video out of your temp folder onto the desktop - Linux is free!!!!

[CabubiRast]

Thanks 4 the video.

Helped me allot making a report 4 school.

[aevin111]

Im currently using Windows 2000 on virtual pc to surf the internet

i have vista as the host os

[aaronjacksonwilde]

at 1:27 it says 603904K in disk space free. Is this 600mbit? or mbyte? I'm thinking its mbit. because 600mb in 1987 would be astronomically expensive wouldn't it? even if it were mbit wouldn't this be 75mb? Even 75mb in 1987 is unheard of maybe 75mhz processor with 20mb and 8k memory sounds like top of the line at the time, but yea any thoughts???

[Medessec]

I got that image of Win 2 as a screenshot from a friend of mine(because a copy of Win 2 is so hard to find), and he says he used a Virtual Machine to run it on his newer computer. I don't know if it actually had 600MB free space, but he didn't use a computer from 1987, so, it's possible.

[didogazeto]

my top-5 OS'ez are:

1.Vista

2.XP

3.2000

4.98SE

5.95

[compdude100]

[didogazeto]

[zawette]

[HardcoreGamer1504]

[vstxp]

Yes there is HD3850 agp!From Saphire,HIS,Gigabyte and Powercolor.I have the Powercolor.There are videos on youtube about it!

[patrickharpertube]

I'm going to make a rival to this video soon.

[felixonthemac]

Nice vid but choosing Vista as a "fully working os" made me laugh. Personaly i hate vista but love xp and of course my beautiful leopard!

[Medessec]

Indeed Vista's a fully working OS on only "some" computers. OS X isn't bad at all either!

[WheelchairAccessible]

You're close minded if you hate vista, It's not even opinion anymore that matters, It's fact.

[LuvPeaceAndCookies]

I don't like Vista because XP runs circles around it when it comes to speed. I'll stick with XP until it's no longer secure, then I'll switch to Windows 7.

[WheelchairAccessible]

Only if your PC sucks. otherwise Vista is just as fast, but W7 is the best.

[LuvPeaceAndCookies]

I have a Pentium IV with 1.8 ghz cpu over 1.5 gigs of ram and a 512 MB video card. Vista with classic theme runs SLOWER for me than XP with the default Luna theme. Even after I disabled all the eye candy.

[WheelchairAccessible]

That's a terrible PC, new software, new hardware.

[compdude100]

yeah ur right im gonna upgrade to windows 7 soon because its WAY better than xp and vista combined. vista is fast if u have a multi core processor-- otherwise its as slow as a turtle

[chickenmonky234]

Excellent job!

It's very hard to find a good video or even recap of the Microsoft OS history. Spectacular work!

To be completely honest, 98 was my favorite for a long time and I am only 14. It was the first OS i ever used and since i was about 5-8ish when I used it, it's surprising XP isn't my favorite since it's where I gained all the knowledge I currently know about computers and what I'm currently running. As of very recently, I fell in love with 7 after only a couple days of using it.

[Medessec]

Indeed close to the same story with me on 98; I can do ANYTHING with 98. Install a DVD drive, work a new skin into it; anything. First Windows OS I used was 3.1; I was 4. lol. As for Windows 7; it's fantastic, but I don't like how they stripped it of all the programs and put them for download on their site; and I don't like the superbar(new taskbar) very much...

[chickenmonky234]

I disagree with your Win 7 opinions. Since half of all people who will use Windows 7 will not use most of those programs, I think it is a good call on Microsoft's part. Instead of having extra features which may never be used, they can take them out and have a smaller overall size for the OS to begin with. I don't think it was a good idea for them to remove the mail client though.

As for the superbar, it depends on your taste. I personally think it makes a lot of things easier, but it's ugly

[HCDPAMF]

you were right at saying that this is a very neat Windows History

5 Stars!

slow loading :-(

Windows 98 is your favourite Windows even today?

my favourite is XP

[Medessec]

98's my fav because I know it inside out :)

XP's an incredible OS but it's got a few changes over 98 I didn't like. It's still awesome though, its installed on most of my old PCs.

[ozgary195]

Great Microsoft's History :)

I really liked it

[frogg220]

pretty cool medessec

nice fastfowarding thing there

you should have installed 7 on a partition and used that for us too

[XZVStarX]

cool.

boring in beginning and awesome at the end.

[tinytimrob]

Excellent I am glad you chose BBC Countdown Compilation for the music

[saliaris12]

Aah.... Getting back a lot of memories...

We started from too low , and we are now too high!

[Enzo0912]

Cool nice
