3 Musketeers: Windows 2000, Office 2000, BackOffice 2000: some comments This is a about an article on the history of Microsoft and its products. The article is at http://www.ArchiveBuilders.com/aba001.html. It is written for Records Managers, Librarians, Archivists, and Museum Curators. Many software application packages, in areas such as records management, have recently made the transition from DOS to Windows. But not to Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000. The packages were converted to Windows 3.1. Windows 95 and Windows 98 are very different than Windows 3.1, from a programming perspective. Windows 2000 differs even more from Windows 3.1, and is also very different than Windows 95 and Windows 98. What are all these products? This article is about the relationship between DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and the other products in the Microsoft family. Microsoft's history closely parallels the history of IBM, with Bill Gates playing the role of Tom Watson Sr. The article sketches the history of computing from the 1890's until the 2030's on this basis, including Microsoft's latest Windows 2000, Office 2000, and BackOffice 2000 embellishments. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks SteveGilheany@ArchiveBuilders.com
