It still amazes me the functionality we used to fit into a small space. We all love to hate on Windows95, but there was history for why it was the way it was, and there are some fun and interesting things in there. "Undocumented Windows" by Andrew Schulman, and the 3.0/3.1 edition with Matt Pietrek and David Maxey, was a wonderful exposé of what was really going on in there. Meanwhile, my iPhone informed me this morning that it required 13GB of free space in order to update iOS.

(Yes – the Windows 3.0/3.1 edition told us about what was happening in Windows 95. But you need to read the history to understand how/why) 🙂

I can recommend following Dave Plummer for some great stories on Windows development. I think his Youtube channel is named Dave’s Garage, for you Twitterless.

Windows development was certainly… something else. There is a reason I started learning the Linux Kernel.

Some of the internals of Windows and Office were a clear application of Conway's Law. I have an interesting anecdote there

In Sweden we have a saying something like: If you have said A, you have to also say B. 😃
