The “Windows 8” team made an awesome blog post that gives us an early glimpse at the new Explorer in “Windows 8”; what was also great to see was a look back at Windows Explorer over the years, all the way back from Windows 1.0, when it was called “MS-DOS Executive” :)
Excerpts from the blog:

Explorer in Windows XP
Explorer in Windows 7
And now- a glimpse at the new Explorer (with the familiar “ribbon” interface):
