I found this video on youtube. It was pretty interesting. He starts with a fresh install of Windows 1.0 in Vmware. He then proceeds to install upgrade after upgrade until finally he is at Windows 7. He then checks to see which application still remained in Windows 7 from Windows 1.0

Awesome how the color scheme was carried over all the way from Windows 2.0 to 2000. Shame it had to be broken by XP's awful, awful Luna junk.
