World's first mass-market #laptop was the #T1100 computer by #Toshiba. Introduced with a 4.77MHz #CPU, 512KB of #RAM, #monochrome #LCD display, and battery capacity up to 7 hours, it changed the world of #IBM compatible portable computers. It even worked with #MS #Windows1 in 640x200px #CGA #graphics, but only within a narrow view angle https://youtu.be/qk04sDF5SrM
Even without a hard disk this machine was very important, since the plus model was re-engineered in #USSR as Электроника #МС1504. Unlike #US, users in #Russia didn't pay royalties, or used the internal 3.5" floppy drive to boot #MS-DOS 2.11 https://youtu.be/_u5LwiP5Q4g

Ah, yes, the thrilling tale of Microsoft's IPO from the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Windows 1.0 was cutting-edge tech. 📈🦖 The author nobly attempts to connect this ancient event to the modern tech landscape, as if reminiscing about how fire was invented. 🔥💾 Truly a groundbreaking revelation from the depths of the Silicon Underground! 🙄

Hubo 4 versiones, la 1.01, 1.02 (la primera en varios idiomas), 1.03 (lanzado solo en EEUU pero tenía drivers para teclados europeos y controladora de impresión), 1.04 (con soporte a VGA y multitareas para programas nativos de DOS).
La versión 1 de Windows fue la que tuvo el soporte más largo: 16 años.
El 9 de noviembre de 1987, le sucede la versión 2.0

El 20 de noviembre de 1985 y luego de 2 años de haber sido anunciado, Microsoft pone a la venta su gestor de aplicaciones con interfase gráfica de usuario de 16 bits para MS-DOS, llamado Windows, versión 1.
La adopción de Windows fue realmente muy lenta, ya que no existía la “killer app” que ayudará a masificar este entorno.
El 10 de noviembre de 1983 Microsoft anuncia un nuevo producto, el entorno gráfico Windows, que pretendía competir con otros ambientes similares como el de la Apple Lisa. Después de varios retrasos, Windows 1.0 se vende al público en 1985. Hasta la versión 3, no ganó relevancia entre el público en general

El 1 de noviembre de 1985, Microsoft anuncia el desarrollo de la primera versión de su gestor de aplicaciones gráficas, Windows. Hoy un sistema operativo. Hubo 4 versiones que fungieron como actualizaciones y corrían bajo el MS-DOS 2. al 3.30. Salió a la venta 20 días después de su anuncio

Today i put the first things for the RTF in Paderborn next weekend.
One think is my Windows 1.0 SDK - but i didnt make any installation.
(Sorry for my bad english :)
Pay for your operating system and pay for support!!!
We deserve your money!!!
@thurrott After all, it's not wise to jump out of a perfectly working airplane 😂 I use #Windows10 at work, but some of the computers are starting to get the upgrade to #Windows1. To be honest though, I don't see any night and day benefits. Its not like a going from FAT32 to NTFS, or a true 32 bit operating system with memory management, pre-emptive multi-tasking.
Here you can find everything there is to know about the first version of Windows.
And they truly mean everything. This is an exceptional amount of information about Windows 1.0.
Success!
Windows 1.01 now running perfectly on my toy DOS 3.3 machine. I initially set it up as an IBM AT (5170), but although DOS ran cromulently with exactly 640K RAM, our combined household resources and the indispensable "ATAD_207" disk could not configure expansion memory. May need hardware. So I switched the VM up to an AMI 80286 to get a better BIOS interface.
And that's it, done with Windows 1.01. Might try v1.04 sometime; but next victim is Windows 2.x ...
The Windows 1 BYTE build is the 1st EVER known build of Windows. It was shown in December 1983’s BYTE Magazine, after Microsoft announced Windows that November. The UI is centred around a command bar at the bottom of the screen, called the “session-control layer”. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows1
Windows 1, released on 20th November 1985, was the longest-supported version of Windows. It was declared unsupported by Microsoft as of 31st December 2001, meaning that it was eligible for support for over 16 years. 🤯 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows1
Windows originally shipped on 5.25” floppy disks. Windows 1 came on 5 disks, with users having to remove & insert each disk, one by one, to complete setup. Later, higher capacity 3.5” floppies would be used, followed eventually by CDs & DVDs. More @ https://youtu.be/gwftLHz9H7Y! 💾💿 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows1 #FloppyDisks #Floppies
For the development of Windows 1 (1985), Microsoft had to decide between 2 so-called “windowing systems”: tiled or overlapping. The name “Windows” was chosen in reference to these windowing systems. But which one did the Windows team choose, & why? More @ https://youtu.be/-pWxKrfxMZc! #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows1 #RowlandHanson #ScottMcGregor #BillGates #TandyTrower
