Tech Weekly: A history of Windows and Windows 7
We find out how Windows 7 came to life and look at the history of Windows, plus Charles Arthur and Jack Schofield on the prospects for the new OS
In this week's episode of Tech Weekly, there's also a potted history of Microsoft, including how Solitaire helped the world learn to use a mouse, as well as a look to what the future might hold thanks to the launch of Windows 7.
Our own Jack Schofield gives his definitive conclusion as to whether it's worth upgrading, and Charles Arthur discusses where Microsoft fits in, in the wider OS landscape, with competition from Snow Leopard, Ubuntu and Google's new Chrome OS.
Plus, there's this week's news including Orange announcing the date they will start selling the iPhone, Nokia suing Apple for alleged breaches of patents, the hacking of the Guardian jobs website, and Barnes and Noble's new Nook ebook reader.
