I like OS a lot, and it looks like it has come a far way. The old version looks so complicated compared to the way OS is now setup.

They should probably replace the video that is in the link with the one that wolfe8 made.

Yeah, things keep changing with the time. All credit to the OS Administrators and interns for this awesome work . They have brought together a revolutionary change in the World of Internet - leading towards a platform for Online Education. Let us just keep motivating them so that this revolution keeps on going in a positive sense.

Then that means that that video was made when OS was private. The video was made October 10th, 2010. You can see where the date goes by @34 seconds.

Do you know why OS was private instead of public right from the beginning?

mathslover · Answer

That I don't know accurately , only @Preetha can tell you !

Though, my assumption is , they might have wanted to check everything before launching it publicly.

OS was earlier called "Inquus", which still stays the name of the corporation.  It was an experiment in Georgia Tech, I suppose.
