Windows 10 is here, so let's take a look at 30 years of Windows
"30 years of skeuomorphic metaphors, menus and anthropomorphic paper clips began when Bill Gates introduced the new software in its earliest form. To see how things have changed, take a romp down Read-Only-Memory Lane and click through the pictures for the history of Windows."

I loved this explanation of why Microsoft decided to call the next release Windows 10. From Reddit

The one I heard was that MS doesn't want German users thinking "Windows Nein". 
That reminds me of when General Motors tried to introduce the Chevrolet Nova in Spanish-speaking countries.
