moonlit Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Well we've seen that people are testing Windows Vista now but let's not forget where it all started... I give you Windows 1.01! Click here for a bootable 1.44MB disk image containing Windows 1.01 that will work in VMware and/or if written to a floppy it will work on a real machine! Quote

You can either use something like WinImage to write it to a floppy to try on a real machine or you can use it as a disk image in VMWare... just select the disk image as your floppy drive. :) Wow, havn't seen 1.01 in the longest time, brings back many memories. Very well done moonlit. My pleasure :) Quote
FrihD Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 It reminds me the ATARI TOS but win1.01 has more color. Quote
uber_tom Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 didn't they stop the windows overlapping to keep it from looking like mac os? all in all they haven't come that far (except for getting rid of ms-dos exec). Quote
moonlit Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 No, I believe that was supposed to be a function in Windows from the start but they didn't manage to make it work until quite a while later. Quote
armadaender Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Wow, havn't seen 1.01 in the longest time, brings back many memories. Very well done moonlit. good or bad memories? To be perfectly honest, a bit of both. Quote
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 relesed in 1984 released in 1985! they had a whole year to copy them! Quote
Guest Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 this site might interest a few people. An interesting thing to note on this site is the Microsoft Windows 1983 pre-Version 1.0 demo, which kind of says they had a GUI OS out before 1984. But with that said Xeroxhad a GUI OS out in 1981 and apple had there first GUI OS out in 1983, the same time as microsoft. Quote
Garda Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 i think the first computer i ever used was a mac 128K or mabey the 512K. can't really remember. I was 5. I thought it was the coolest thing i had ever seen. The classroom had 1 computer in it. Ahh the memories :) Quote
