@windowsonwindows This was the far better GUI for DOS in 1992... running even on older XTs and ATs. Later it came out, that MS gagged its Vendors on Windows #geoworks #geos

The Windows wordmark font has changed many times. The original used Goudy. Windows 3 (1990) changed it to Times New Roman. NT 3.5 (1994) introduced Baskerville Old Face. Franklin Gothic was used from 95 (1995) to XP (2001). Since Vista (2006), variants of Segoe UI have been used. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Logo #Wordmark

Windows 8 (2012) shipped with 2 versions of Internet Explorer: the regular "desktop" variant, plus a new, touch-friendly, full screen "Metro" variant. In the latter, most of the window chrome is hidden & must be accessed using touch gestures (e.g. swiping ⬇️ to view/manage tabs). #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #InternetExplorer #Metro

Windows Codename Longhorn build 4093, from August 2004, is the last available build of what would become Windows Vista (2006), before its infamous “development reset”. As such, it contains many prototype features that were either vastly reworked for Vista, or scrapped altogether. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsVista #WindowsLonghorn #WindowsCodenameLonghorn

Windows Codename Longhorn build 3683, from September 2002, is the 1st known build of Windows Vista (2006). It had features that didn’t make the final release, such as a login screen clock & centred title bar text. Both would eventually arrive a decade later in Windows 8 (2012). 🤯 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsVista #WindowsLonghorn #WindowsCodenameLonghorn #Windows8

Mars was a Windows component that powered the so-called Activity Centres - an experimental, task-centred UI tested in early builds of Windows ME (2000) & Codename Neptune (cancelled). Whilst the Activity Centres were scrapped, Mars lived on to power ME’s Help & Support app. ;-) #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsMillenniumEdition #WindowsME #WindowsCodenameNaptune #WindowsNeptune #ActivityCenters #ActivityCentres

MS-DOS ("MicroSoft Disk Operating System") was a command-line OS from Microsoft. The initial releases of Microsoft's newer, graphical OS - Windows - required MS-DOS to run. Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME, pronounced "Me") (2000) was the last Windows version requiring DOS. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsMillenniumEdition #WindowsME #MSDOS

The Start Page is a feature found in early development builds of Windows Codename Longhorn, which would eventually release as Windows Vista (2006). It appears to be a precursor to the Welcome Centre that debuted in Vista, and can be traced as far back as build 3683 in late 2002. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsVista #WindowsLonghorn #WindowsCodenameLonghorn

Windows 7 (2009) debuted the “superbar”: a beefed up taskbar with larger app icons (& no text labels by default), the ability to “pin” frequent apps, app “jump lists” to quickly access recent files, a Show Desktop button - last tested in Windows 2000 build 1796.1 - & more!👌🤩 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows7

Following the release of Windows Millennium Edition (or Windows Me - pronounced “Me”) on 19th June 2000, Microsoft launched a promo campaign called the Meet Me Tour.

Live Tiles, introduced in Windows Phone 7 (2010), are UI elements acting both as app shortcuts & dynamic information feeds. Part of Microsoft’s Metro UI, they were later added to desktop Windows in Windows 8 (2012).

Windows 98 build 1400, from February 1997, introduced a Show Desktop button in the bottom right of the desktop. Removed shortly after, it would be tested again in early builds of Windows 2000. However, it didn’t make a final release of Windows until Windows 7 in 2009. 🤯 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows98 #Windows2000 #WindowsCE #Windows7

The original release of Windows 10 (2015) had a hidden surprise for fans of Windows 8’s (2012) Start screen. With seemingly no-one on the Windows 10 dev team tasked with removing the underlying code, a simple hack allowed it to be reactivated in (almost) all its former glory. 😎 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #Windows10

Windows Vista (2006) added a search box to the Start menu. This let users type to search instantly on opening the menu. Previously, users needed to click a Search option within Start to launch the Search UI first. Typing to search in Start still exists as of Windows 11 (2021). #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsVista

Windows 8 (2012) introduced accent colours - colour schemes that could be applied to its new, touch-optimised UI, such as the Start screen. Accent colours would return in Windows 10 (2015), where they were applied to the desktop. This remains the case in Windows 11 (2021). 🎨🖌️ #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #Windows10 #Windows11
