Just found this page.
The thing I find most interesting is just how ropey some of those Mac screengrabs look compared to some versions of windows. System 4 or 5 (I forget now, 1990 is a long time ago) was what introduced me to useful computing (PCs mostly seemed to run DOS which, frankly, stunk. And SMART really wasn't). I had a love affair with Macs right up until Windows 95 had been out and refined for a couple of years, at which point I realised Apple had failed to keep up with user interface development. Fortunately no-one told them.
The writer must be a Linux fanboy - those KDE screengrabs look far in advance of either Windows or Macintosh. Reality as I remember it was somewhat less refined from my experience with mandrake 9.0.
