Windows 1.01
Bill Gates said in that time: Windows should be like MAC OS
Introduction
In the early era of personal computing, Microsoft Windows began to establish its presence. The inaugural version, Windows 1.0, was launched in 1985. This marked a significant advancement from the text-based MS-DOS system that had dominated for years. Windows 1.0 introduced a graphical user interface (GUI), simplifying the way users interacted with their computers.
Description / Opinion
I tested this Windows Version on a Pentium 166 with MS DOS 6.22 and it worked great.
But the Windows in itself it’s horrible. The installation works in a text mode system (check the pics I made)
The menus didn’t worked well, you needed to have the click pushed until you’ve selected what you wanted
(not like today you click, menu comes, you search and than click again…)
