    Great, but I wish you would have gone back earlier! Comparing the first iterations of the Mac OS to Windows 1 - Windows 3.11, etc, is especially ridiculous. I hypothesize if you were to take a test group of modern, average-computer-literates and expose them to the two OSs before 1995, they would find the Mac OS intuitive and familiar, and the Windows OS frustratingly frustrating. Windows didn’t even get the desktop metaphor fleshed out until 95.
