Just watched the History of Windows 1985-2012.  I almost forgot what it looked like in the past.  With the changes in technology over the years, the graphics became more "annimated".  It became more user friendly with the tools that were added.  With Windows 98, we can now lock the computer for security reasons.  Since it started in 1985, Windows grew better.  Now with Windows 8 on the horizon, the graphics seem to be even more better for the consumer.  Since it hasn't been released yet, time will only tell how good it can get once the bugs are out of it.  This should be an interesting Autumn!
