| A Windows 1.0 screenshot |
Microsoft released Windows 1.0, its first operating system with a windows-based 16-bit graphical user interface. Succeeded by Windows 2.0 in November 1987. Criticized by Steve Jobs of Apple for copying Macintosh graphical user interface though Windows 1.0 was not as slick as Macintosh, not even close. Anyway, both were conceptual children of the graphical user interfaces used in Xerox Alto and Star. Both Mac and PC operating systems were eventually moving into graphical user interfaces. The slick Windows 8 would not exist without Windows 1.0.
