WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE COURSE?
On November 10, 1983, in New York City, Microsoft Corporation formally announced Microsoft Windows, a next-generation operating system that would provide a graphical user interface (GUI) and multitasking environment for IBM computers. (A GUI is basically all the icons and the drop down menus you see on your screen, being able to click on something instead of having to type it in etc)
Microsoft promised that the new program would be on the shelf by April 1984. It might have been released under the original name of Interface Manager if Microsoft's marketing whiz, Rowland Hanson, had not convinced Microsoft founder Bill Gates that Windows was the better name.
Microsoft finally shipped Windows 1.0 on November 20, 1985, almost two years past the initially promised release date.
Over the past two decades, Microsoft Windows® products have evolved from a single, one-size-fits-all desktop operating system into a diverse family of operating systems and mobile technologies. Today, Windows products help people worldwide achieve their potential at work, home, and just about anyplace in between. Learn how to use the latest Microsoft Operating System, Windows Vista!
