THE VERY FIRST WINDOWS COMPUTER ITS WINDOWS 1.0
This BIG OL' COMPUTER was made in the good year of 1985. The Microsoft Windows 1.0 was named because of the computer boxes or windows as the cool kids like to call it. Instead of typing MS-DOS commands, this sweet computer allowed users to point and click to access the windows. -
THE SECOND EDITION MADE BY MICROSOFT THE WINDOWS 2.0!!!
This was the first computer involving keyboard shortcuts, and desktop icons. But, the best part was it was designed for the INTEL 286 PROCESSOR, WHICH I THINK WAS GOOD BUT I AM NOT SURE BUT YEAH. YOU WERE ALSO ABLE TO STACK WINDOWS WHICH WAS SUPER CONVENIENT. -

THIS WAS A MAJOR UPGRADE AND IMPROVEMENT TO WINDOWS... IT HAD IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE COMPUTER SUCH AS THE FACT THAT IT COULD SUPPORT 32-BIT APPLICATIONS, WHICH MEANT THAT THE APPLICATIONS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS OPPERATING SYSTEM WOULD RUN MUCH MUCH FASTER. -
windows 98
Windows 98 supported a number of new technologies, including FAT32, AGP, MMX, USB, DVD, and ACPI. Its most visible feature, though, was the Active Desktop, which integrated the Web browser (Internet Explorer) with the operating system. From the user’s point of view, there was no difference between accessing a document residing locally on the user’s hard disk or on a Web server halfway around the world. -
Windows 2000
Often abbreviated as “W2K,” Windows 2000 was an operating system for business desktop and laptop systems to run software applications, connect to Internet and intranet sites, and access files, printers, and network resources. Microsoft released four versions of Windows 2000: Professional (for business desktop and laptop systems); Server (both a Web server and an office server); Advanced Server (for line-of-business applications); and Datacenter Server (for high-traffic computer networks). -
WINDOWS MILLENNIALS EDITION
The Windows Millennials Edition, called “Windows Me” was an update to the Windows 98 core and included some features that would be part of the Windows 2000 operating system. This version also removed the “Boot in DOS” option. -
Windows XP
Windows XP was released in 2001. Along with a redesigned look and feel to the user interface, the new operating system was built on the Windows 2000 kernel, giving the user a more stable and reliable environment than previous versions of Windows. Windows XP came in two versions, Home and Professional. Microsoft focused on mobility for both editions and including plug-and-play features for connecting to wireless networks. The operating system also utilized the 802.11x wireless security standard. -
WINDOWS VISTA EDITION
Windows Vista offered an advancement in reliability, security, ease of deployment, performance and manageability over Windows XP. New in this version were capabilities to detect hardware problems before they occurred, security features to protect against the latest generation of threats, a faster start-up time, and low power consumption when placed in the new sleep state. In many cases, Windows Vista was noticeably more responsive than Windows XP on identical hardware. -

WINDOWS 8
Windows 8 was a completely redesigned operating system that’s been developed from the ground up with touchscreen use in mind as well as near-instant-on capabilities that enable a Windows 8 PC to load and start up in a matter of seconds rather than in minutes. The Metro user interface primarily consisted of a “Start screen” made up of “Live Tiles,” which linked to applications and features that were dynamic and updated in real time. Windows 8 supported both x86 PCs and ARM processors. -
WINDOWS 11 THE FINALY THE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL SO MICROSOFT HAS MADE IT... THE PERFECT OPERATING SYSTEM.
