A really interesting post over at Web Designer Depot made all reminiscent today… It takes a look at the evolution of operating system interface designs since 1981 – coincidentally the year I was born.
It’s really a very easy read and well worth taking a look over. What surprised me the most is how many features from as far back as “The Xerox Star” (later “ViewPoint” and later again “GlobalView”) remain consistent throughout the last 28 years of OS development despite the dramatic changes in PC usage and functionality.
