Oct 5 The Darwinian Evolution of Microsoft Windows

This is a cool infographic timeline, showing the Darwinian Evolution of Microsoft Windows from version 1.0 in 1985 up through the current Windows 7 in 2009. Although it makes for a really tall infographic, I love seeing the visuals of the startup screens and the desktops.

Art is credited to Richard Cavolo, and the project is from TestKing.com (even though I can find no mention of it on their site). It was posted on BitsandPieces.us

I found the release post from the future on Testking.com. I say “from the future” because the post is dated October 10th, 2010.
