We selected major releases of now trintão Windows to remember the history of the most popular system in the world
Get out there, MS-DOS. On November 20, 1985 Microsoft released version 1.0 of the operating system with graphical desktop known as Windows, and changed the world of computing forever.
For the next 30 years, the market would see 19 significant new software versions, and not to mention the bizarre issues like Windows RT or Windows 10 Internet devices of Things (IoT).
Therefore, we selected the major versions of now trintão Windows to remember the history of the most popular computing platform in the world.
Windows 1.1 (1985)
The first version of Windows was something primitive. To avoid problems in court with the Mac OS, Apple, Microsoft had to ensure that the application windows do not overlap and there was not a “Recycle Bin” to be seen. However, the first had a Windows task bar at the bottom of the screen.
Windows 3.1 (1992)
The Windows 3.1 was a significant improvement over its predecessor (Windows 3.0, released in 1990) with the addition of scalable TrueType fonts, transforming Windows into a serious platform for desktop publishing. This version also has improved functionality “drag and drop” and OLE (Object Linking and Embedding), and introduced multimedia support for the first time. He also had Minesweeper …
Windows NT 3.1 (1993)
The Windows NT was born the work on OS / 2. It represented an entirely new 32-bit system (the previous editions were graphic capsules MS-DOS) that targeted top line of workstations and server applications. The first version brought a visual like Windows 3.1, but the following were totally unique.
Windows 95 (1995)
Microsoft has continued the development of its line of DOS-based systems for end users with Windows 95, which did not require a separate DOS installation. Windows 95 introduced the now famous Start menu and Taskbar, along with dozens of other features that yielded strong sales and consolidated Microsoft’s dominance in the systems market for desktop.
Windows 98 (1998)
Windows 98 has the browser Internet Explorer a tangled part of the system, allowing web pages to be rendered in Explorer or on the desktop windows. Also added to the Quick Access toolbar and native support for USB, among other things. It proved to be a popular OS, although a little unstable.
Windows 2000 (2000)
As a member of the line NT, Windows 2000 led to the Windows 98 web integration to a stable and relatively secure system, made for workstation and server environments. Also eliminated the need for many reboots when people were installing software or changed system settings.
Windows XP (2001)
Finally Windows XP integrated the mature and stable line NT OS 9x systems with the line to end users. The result was the most popular system from Microsoft, which had among its highlights a new colorful interface and security improvements, while maintaining backwards compatibility with its predecessors.
Windows Vista (2007)
In 2007, Microsoft began to feel competition from Mac OS X, which made it look like Windows XP had been out for two decades. The Redmond answer was Windows Vista, which had news as a beautiful Aero interface and larger icons, and a new Start menu. Was a flop with critics and users at all satisfied.
Windows 7 (2009)
After receiving much criticism in the press with Vista, Microsoft rushed to launch a successor. The result was Windows 7, which received good reviews and renewed the viability of the Windows front of so many threats such as mobile platforms and Apple.
Windows 8 (2012)
Then we had Windows 8, which was never a fiasco or anything after the resounding success of Windows 7. Microsoft got rid the Start menu in exchange for a “Start screen” full of Live Tiles connected to Windows apps – a new type of software, delivered through the Windows Store, which consumed your entire screen and did not get along very well with traditional desktop software. The parties Live Tile and desktop system had completely separate settings in completely separate areas. Despite good news and intentions, many people wondered at the sudden change a bit messy and several media outlets have recommended that users stay with Windows 7.
Windows 8.1 (2014)
Although it was not a totally new release, this free update softened things worse than Windows 8. Users could choose to boot to the desktop instead of the Start screen and the Start button again (but not the Start menu).
Windows 10 (2015)
Finally a system for which the Windows 7 users can upgrade smoothly. The Windows 10 could at the same time to welcome back the desktop experience (to put the Windows app on the Windows desktop, bringing the Start menu back, and introducing support for virtual desktop) and bring Windows to the future by embracing the term “system as a service.”
