History

Historical Context

Microsoft launched Windows 1.0 on November 20, 1985, as a graphical user interface for MS-DOS, following Bill Gates' inspiration from VisiCorp's Visi On in 1982. Despite its innovative design, Windows 1.0 received mixed reviews and sold around 500,000 copies by 1987, struggling against Apple's established GUI. This marked the beginning of a significant evolution in personal computing, leading to future advancements in software design.
