38 years from first Windows

38 years ago, on November 20, 1985, Microsoft launched its first Windows 2.0.

Windows is launched as a descendant of the M system S-DOS.

Windows 1.0 was searching for two disks, 256 kilobite memory and a graphical card.

If you want to run some programs at the same time, you need a PC with a disk hard and 512 kilobytes memory.

DOS was an operating system without graphical windows. So when you start your computer, a DOS request will be shown. You had to know the commands and put them in order to run a program or do something on the computer at all.

MC- DOS did one thing simultaneously. To use the second program, the first program had to be closed and command implemented to open the second program.

Windows 1.0 was introduced in 1983, but its development lasted two years.

He had to get a different name, but his name was “Windows” to describe “dirs” or computer frames that would appear on the user screen. Drop menus, motion tape, icons, made it easier to use the program. In fact, this is the predecessor of the Windows we use today.

In addition, the MS file management program was available to users DOC, drawing and writing programs, notebooks, calculators, calendars, data cards, hours and games.

Critics were not satisfied with his performance. The objections involved operating the system when certain apps were launched but also with the promotion of the use of mouse by Microsoft (which was not present at the time, all commands were introduced using the keyboard).

Windows 2.0 replaced it in November 1987. However, Microsoft supported this version longer than any other, for 16 years (until 31 December 2001).
