You will need to compile your own history from more verbose excerpts on the OS and from multiple sources. For example:
http://www.beagle-ears.com/lars/engi...ist/#timelines
http://www.ox.compsoc.net/~swhite/hi...meline-OS.html
http://www.aaxnet.com/info/hist.html

You will need to intersperse the ready-to-use info throughthe links (and through Google) to fashion out what the significance was in each stage. Once you get the development, its easy to figure out what changed for that jump.
