Watch the 22-Year Evolution of Windows in Just 90 Seconds
It doesn’t matter if you are firm Apple fan or a diehard Microsoft devotee. If you have ever even looked at a Windows-enabled device, you need to see this video outlining the evolution of the famous operating system.. The nostalgic and almost sentimental video takes us through the boot up screens of almost every iteration of the operating system. The video is complete with the memorable software sound effects and error messages.
The animator created extremely smooth transitions between screens and overlaid a banging soundtrack to create a very entertaining 90 seconds.
The very talented animator 4096's other videos are worth a look. We especially love Every Nintendo Console in One Video (1977-2017)
