Windows 1.01 was released November 20th, 1985, but that was after years of delays. It was formally announced November 10th, 1983 – 30 years ago (yesterday). I was excited, but didn’t officially jump on the Windows wagon until Windows 2.0, which I used a little. Windows 3.0/3.1 was where I really got into Windows. Before Windows, we used MS-DOS (or PC-DOS…). I didn’t have any issues with DOS, but using a mouse was great.
So, Happy Birthday, Windows. Here’s to another 30 great years!
