Microsoft Windows has had a tremendous impact on our lives. It’s everywhere we go and incorporated in places we wouldn’t even expect. But of course, it all has to start somewhere, and the very first ever version, Windows 1.0, blessed computer screens around the world in 1985. Especially nowadays, all these features it boasted in its marketing and product design, are let’s be honest, quite boring and really not remarkable, showcasing just how far we’ve gone and how much we take for granted today. But funnily enough, these features weren’t even that remarkable back in 1985! We often like to think of Windows as the pioneers of the computing sector, but at its launch, the product actually faced immense criticism for being nothing more than just a blatant rip-off of other operating systems at the time, particularly System 1 on the newly released Apple Macintosh. A rip-off that wasn’t even as good, as it would also ridiculed for its lackluster and at times unstable performance. But despite encountering all these bumps, Microsoft knew that they had something here and that their value proposition for Windows was something truly special, way too special to give up on right away. And today we are going to tell that story.
