A fun video to watch to see everything go from 1.0 to Vista (Nothing untill 7 sadly enough)

I myself love Windows and probably wouldnt want OSX or Linux as my main box, I have a nostalgic feeling everytime I see Windows 1.0 though thinking about when I was a wee lad....
So here we go!
CONGRATULATIONS MICROSOFT!
