Sorry, I am so rude. This is too embarrassing. windows1.0 Installer (download included)

Today, I found a Software Forum with only a few hundred kb. Remotely thinking that the windows version I just came into use today is 3.1. At that time, I remember very clearly that the windows OS should be accessed through the doscommand line. Now, in a twinkling of an eye, it turns to enter the pseudo dos. It is the command in the running column that has been broken down by cmd.
Alas, when I thought that my urine would still be more than two meters away, my father spent a lot of money on his house and bought a unit of 486. Every night, "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" causes serious loss of vision. Others read books, while others play games. Shame, shame ......
However, at that time, windows was just a fresh player, and it was not practical yet. dos6.22 was the king of the time. To date, enter dos or hit dir/w like conditioned reflection. Soon after windows 95 came out, windows entered a practical stage, and even some games could only be played under windows 95. -_-B... now it seems that no game can be played under dos. The times have become so fast ~
Come on, come on ~ Look Forward (money. Let's look back at the memories that only make you smile.

Don't expect it to be installed. However, it may be possible to install a pure DOS system. I have never tried it. If you have a virtual machine, try it.

By the way, let's take a look at windows1.0's software:

Since the official launch of Windows 1985 in 1.0, Windows has been around for 20 years.In the past 20 years, we have gone through Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.1, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, and many other versions, windows has evolved from being a user interface of the DOS system to a very complete operating system. At the same time, Windows has been one step-by-step entry into the home for the past 20 years. Windows has contributed to the popularity of personal computers.

For readers, most of them had no access to computers 20 years ago. But it doesn't matter. Now let's look back at the 20 interesting things about Windows 1985 in 1.0.

1. At the beginning, Bill Gates called Windows 1.0 "Interface Manager ). Rowland Hanson, then sales director, told Bill Gates that Windows would be a better name. Fortunately, Bill Gates finally adopted his suggestion. Otherwise, we may be using Interface Manager XP.

2. Microsoft started Interface Manager (Windows) development as early as 1981. At that time, there was no graphical user Interface (GUI) concept, and some features associated with Windows were missing.

3. In earlier versions of Interface Manager, the menu is located at the bottom of the screen, which is similar to the Word of the current DOS version and the user Interface of some popular DOS applications.

5. In 1983, Microsoft wanted Windows to become the graphical user interface of Atari ST. However, Atari could not bear the slow development progress of Microsoft. In the end, Atari chose the GEM of Digital Research as a replacement. I wonder if they have regretted their decision?

6. Although some people claim that Windows is an imitation of Mac OS, Microsoft's real inspiration for developing Windows came from the VisiOn desktop operating environment released in 1982. In that year's Comdex, Bill Gates was deeply attracted by VisiOn. He watched three visual demonstrations and called the company's technical staff for inspiration.

7. The conditions for installing Windows 1.0 are: 256 KB memory, DOS 2.0 system, and two soft drives.

8. in 1.0, Byte Magazine announced that Windows will have extraordinary scalability, reconfiguration, and portability in view of the moderate hardware requirements and prices of Windows after watching an earlier version of Windows.

9. Windows 1.0 uses an original file manager called a MS-DOS executable. Although Windows has been around for 20 years, the File Manager that has not changed much is still active in Windows XP.

10. Windows 1.0 supports multi-task operation, but Windows cannot overlap.

11. In Windows 1.0, Microsoft also bundled calculators, clocks, calendars, notebooks, and a few other small applications.

 

 

12. Despite the limited number of applications bundled in Windows 1.0, Microsoft's early advertisement claims that Windows has an extremely useful application.

13. Due to the lack of third-party software companies to develop applications for Windows 1.0, Windows 1.0 sales are very poor. Microsoft's Word and Excel versions were provided for Windows only in 1987 and 1989 respectively, while Word and Excel for Mac versions were released as early as 1985.

14. Microsoft did not publicly issue shares until 1986 and became a joint stock company.

15. In 1984, PC World declared that Windows provided a simple, powerful, and inexpensive user interface. These unique features will make Windows a de facto standard on the PC market. PC World's predictions are correct. After a few years, this prediction has become widely known.

16. Shortly after Wiindows 1.0 was released, PC Magazine praised Windows 1.0. It claims that both those who hate DOS and DOS experts will be surprised by the ease of use of Windows.

17. Two weeks after Windows 1.0 was released, Microsoft released Windows 1.01, and then began a long patch fix. This situation remains unchanged.

18. The following is an early Windows 1.0 publicity picture showing Bill Gates lying on a desk leaning over a monitor. There are several other computers behind him, including an ibm pc and a Mac.

Did the Young Bill Gates think of future glory?

 

19. Color Display is supported in Windows from the very beginning. At that time, Mac was still focused on the classic black and white world. This makes PC Magazine announce that many Mac users will switch to Windows.

20. At that time, Windows 1.0 was priced at $100. If it was converted to the current value, it would be $177. This is exactly the price for purchasing a retail version of Windows XP Home today.
