Speaking of this, did anyone on HN beta test Chicago (windows 95?) Early betas had the tendency to bork the LFN's which was a joy.

- 51Cards 15y ago<raises hand> Don't remember any file-system problems though I believe I got into the betas mid cycle. I do however remember well the "What the heck is a Start menu and where did Program Manager go?" Edit: I'm also starting to feel old when threads like this come up :)
- ethank 15y agoI started testing it when it still had the "Chicago" loading graphic. It's funny for me because I desperately wanted Microsoft to go after Apple on the UI elegance front, as I was a huge M$ booster at the time. What makes me feel old is that people take pre-emptive multitasking for granted. In my day we had cooperative multitasking AND LIKED IT.
