He did an incredibly thorough nine-part series on the history of Windows from DOS through 3.1 and the antitrust cases. It was fascinating. There's tons of other stuff here too.
thanks for the link! i really liked the series, but forgot to bookmark it and couldn't find it after. the Windows series starts here: https://www.filfre.net/2018/06/doing-windows-part-1-ms-dos-a... honestly, it could probably be made into a Halt And Catch Fire-style miniseries, it's so good. actually i think i'll re-read it now :)
The entire blog is so good & almost unbelievably long and thorough - it feels like the kind of sites the web was made for. I have no idea how long it all is cumulatively but I wouldn't be surprised if it's longer than some famously long works of literature such as the combined length of all lord of the rings novels.
