I wonder if it's just luck or timing or this guy using spambots to upvote his submission.
I had to turn that video off to maintain my personal pride. I may be a nerd, but by gosh, I do NOT watch Windows installation retrospectives for entertainment! :)
I wish I'd read this post earlier. I not only watched it but sent it to friends, never thinking that this actually might not be enjoyable to everyone. Isn't there a conference somewhere that specializes in boring topics?

Much more than you would ever know.. The original version of Sim City was written for windows 3.x and included a bug that read memory that had been freed to the system. It worked in windows 3.x, even though it shouldn't, because that particular range of memory wasn't being used for anything else until the program was terminated. In beta versions of windows 95 Sim City didn't work because the operating system allocate…
Specifically, Windows actually checked whether SimCity was running and then allocated memory differently if it was. Joel Spolsky talks about it in this old article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html
Awesome stuff. I would have enjoyed a detour through Microsoft Bob, somewhere around Windows 3.1 or 95.

This is a testament to how much trouble Microsoft goes through to maintain compatibility. I wonder whether malware from those early days would continue to run, or if newer versions of the OS would block it.

I thought it a good idea. His name is Peter Tattam (I did some google-leg-work to find it). His site is at http://petertattam.com/ . I found his name via a report at http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.40.... If this is the guy, what should we do? Should somebody ask him what he would like?
His site seems to be down, but I found his company in the whitepages. I've left a message for him to call me back. I'm going to suggest that he sets up a paypal account we can contribute to. I will also set up a website at lunch time, I think.
