Windows 1.0 - Window's First GUI.
We all know the iconic Windows XP and 98 but we don’t really hear much about Bill Gate’s first GUI development, Windows 1.0. Released in 1985, despite the reputation of Windows they were not the first operating system which had a GUI. GUI stands for Graphical User Interface which is a type of operating system that features graphical components such as icons. Nowadays, this is what the common user has in their system as it’s easier to understand than the opposite Command Line Interfaces. You can still access command lines if you sport an operating system with a GUI so it makes owning strictly command line operating systems quite limiting. Windows 1.0 Release As briefly mentioned, Windows 1.0 was released on November 20th, 1985. This was the first initial released, in 1986 Windows 1.0 finally became available internationally resulting in the version 1.02. A total of two further releases followed, one in 1986 with additional imporvements made for the drivers of hardware components. Fin
