Short History of Windows• 1983 - Bill Gates announces Microsoft will begin work on an OS with a
Graphical User Interface.• 1984 - Apple airs a 30 sec commercial during the super bowl announcing
the release of the Macintosh, the first (successful) GUI based computer. • 1985 - Windows 1.0 was first released in Nov. The release was considered
a flop.• 1990 - Windows 3.0 is released with a substantial upgrade to the interface
over Windows 1 and 2. This is the first commercially successful version of Windows.
• 1993 - Windows NT 3.1 is released and is the first Microsoft OS not based in DOS. Microsoft would release separate versions of NT along with their DOS counterparts untill Windows XP
• 1995 - Windows 95 is released as the first native 32 bit OS. Microsoft originally wanted to merge the NT and DOS platforms but due to backward compatibility issues and lacking hardware support of NT, Microsoft left NT out.

Short History of Windows• 1998 - Windows 98 is released. Microsoft integrates its web browser in the
GUI and file manager. This opens up the floodgates for hackers to use the internet to infiltrate an entire computer or network. This move to integrate IE in to windows prompts a flood of anti-trust lawsuits from the US and several countries. Some cases are still active today.
• 2000 - Windows 2000 is released. As with Windows 95, Microsoft planed Windows 2000 to be the bridge between the NT and DOS based OS’s, but was unsuccessful in that regard due to compatibility issues. To “compliment the release of the new NT system, Microsoft releases Windows Me, the final iteration of the DOS based Windows line. Some consider it to be one of the worst OS’s Microsoft had released.
• 2001 - Windows XP is released. The extensive upgrade to the GUI is on par with the change between Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. This is the first successful merger of the NT and DOS lines.
• 2005 – Microsoft releases Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.• 2006 – Microsoft releases Windows Vista.• 2008 – Microsoft releases Final Beta of Windows 7 to testers• 2009 – Microsoft releases Windows 7
