MS Windows 1.0 → SoftWare - Operating Systems23.07.2008 08:01 | Posted by williwacker | Views 6771 | Tags ![]() Microsoft Windows 1.0 Year: 1985 Minimum Configuration: Processor 286 4 MHz | 1 MB RAM Size: 3849 kB Rar (2 Disks) ![]() The first independent version of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released on November 20, 1985, lacked a degree of functionality and achieved little popularity. It was originally going to be called Interface Manager, but Rowland Hanson, the head of marketing at Microsoft, convinced the company that the name Windows would be more appealing to consumers. Windows 1.0 was not a complete operating system, but rather extended MS-DOS, and shared the latter's inherent flaws and problems. Furthermore, legal challenges by Apple limited its functionality. For example, windows can only appear "tiled" on the screen; that is, they cannot overlap or overlie one another. Also, there is no trash can (place to store files prior to deletion), since Apple believed they owned the rights to that paradigm. Microsoft later removed both of these limitations by signing a licensing agreement. Quote: Bookmark this publication or share it with friends:
