This cries out for a Mac retort! VIDEO: Upgrading from DOS 5 thru Win7 on one 'machine' - Mini 9 - 03-06-2011
Is there a compatibility engine, like VMWare, that one could even ATTEMPT a similar feat for Mac OS? Likely not, but I throw it out there nonetheless.
To me, this has the beginnings of what one might call OS-ology. Think archaeology for computers. In the end, the lecturer even covers the remnants/relics
Do not watch this if you have an innate aversion to anything Microsoft, DOS or Windows related. This would be your undoing.

There are lots of Windows fans who recognize the backwards-compatibility for the drawback that it is. Problem for MS is that there are zillions more who love it and depend on it.
All those IT dorks who think that XP is the best thing since sliced bread, for not having to do anything more in their careers. So many internal corporate web sites and apps that require IE6. And now MS imploring the world to once-and-for-all stop using IE6. This is what happens when you don't keep moving forward with better stuff, one day you look up and what was "good enough" for so long "all of a sudden" is bad.

Darn, my malware to turn menus pink is defeated by Vista. Luckily the other 9 viruses still work. :jest:

I noticed that & had been looking forward to hearing what he had to say about it!

Will there be a quiz?
