Timeline: operating system progress while GMail was in beta
Why not take a look at Wikipedia's operating systems timeline and see what changes happened in the world of desktop OSes over the same period. It sure seems like plenty has changed since 2004, so I headed over to TimeRime and starting putting things together.
Curious? Have a look the result after the break!
Needless to say, I'm glad I decided against my original idea to look at 20 or 30 popular applications over the same five-year period.

You include AmigaOS but not Symbian OS?

It says "in the world of desktop OSes". Yes yes Android is very borderline.

where's Vista SP2? or 7 Beta, 7-RC1?

Gmail maybe the longest service to hold the beta tag (Guinness world record pending), but it is surely the perfect service on public release (now, after beta) with tons of great features like "multiple inboxes" and "Undo send".
Really great !!

what's the point of it ?
I mean, shure, it's a long time, but where do you want to go comparing it with some OS ?
I miss a conclusion at the end...
