Is this a Freudian slip, or something?

Do you really think that Windows 2* is from 200 AD, and, therefore, out
of the Dark Ages (I think that 200AD is after the stone age) (maybe,
that is what started people doing things, like witch-burning - "what,
you use windows? - Evil! - Burn! Burn!", or, maybe, that is where they
got the idea of dunking - "Windows? See whether dunking it in water,
will make it run better..."), or, is it that you think that the current
version of Windows, is the 200th revision of the version (what, only the
200th?) ?

Perhaps, what we have here, is evolutionary regression - windows going
back to a stage of functionality, before that of Windows 286?
