It would funny to get stats on how much usage newer features of today's windows get compared to the core features that were already in that win 1.0 release. I think we'd find that a large portion of PC users could do just fine today with win 1.0 and a $50 PC hardware architecture it requires.

- csomar 16y agoHaving visited some offices and friends homes, most of them use the computer to browse the web, watch videos, play games and also use Office. I don't think Win 1.0 can run Pro 9 or play a HD movie. I don't think also that $50 hardware at enough to open 3/4 browsing tabs.

- danielnicollet 16y agoThis is soo true. I wonder if we could have a discussion of the social consciousness level of consumer software product managers at MS. Windows is stuffed with features that I sometimes think are more there for selling hardware and third party applications that to really improve people's lives. Then again, people should vote with their dollars for what they need most.
