Mobile & Apps: "The Windows UI has been around for over 27 years, and while there haven't been many changes during that time, whenever change came, it was big. Every time there is a change in the UI, two sets of users emerge, those who dig it, and the ones who don't.
Today we are going look back at Windows UI changes over the years with a set of images. A picture is worth a thousand words they say, or a million dollars if you're a celebrity of some sorts."

mainly coz its the only OS people used for 7+ years. in tech years where things are outdated in 2 years, 7 years is almost forever.
DirectX 11 - it could be done on XP but was left out intentionally so that people would be forced to buy Win7 for the latest games. it wasn't omitted coz XP was too old.
XPSP3 - after this service pack, XP became both stable and lighter on resources. you didnt need a machine with 512MB ram to run it. 256MB was enough.
While Win7 is an upgrade, only time will tell if they use it for 7+ years.
Terminal Velocity still pisses me off when I think about it
XP was the best even compared to the lackluster Vista which is already widely regarded as a FAILURE! but with 7, everything went great again, and you got to be kidding yourself if you say XP is better than 7!
then its xp
then its 98 with usb support
but nice article
I had both
2000 wasnt bad it was like a more stable 98
me was the consumer edition which was the vista of the time
horrible and virus ridden
