On November 20, 1985, Windows 1.0 was released, the first major version of the Microsoft operating system.
A year after Microsoft's Bill Gates advertised the first Apple Macintosh computer, he released his own operating system system, Windows 1.0. Watch it with Greek subtitles:
Microsoft's first CEO Steve Ballmer stood in front of a camera in 1986 for Microsoft's first commercial proudly touting Windows 1.0x, costing just $99. With today's inflation, that's about $300 today. Watch it with Greek subtitles:
The demands were have an IBM combatible with a 256 KB memory, an Intel 8088 processor and a floppy disk drive.
Microsoft Windows was not one autonomous operating system we know today. It was just a graphical shell running at its core MS-DOS με ενσωματωμένα κάποια βασικά προγράμματα όπως το Microsoft Write (τώρα γνωστό ως WordPad), το Paint, το MS-DOS Executive, το ημερολόγιο συναντήσεων, τον πίνακα ελέγχου, το πρόγραμμα οδήγησης RAM και το παιχνίδι Reversi.
Within two years sold over 500.000 copies. Comparatively consider that Windows 7 sold over 450 million copies in the same period of time.
Let's be happy!
