Microsoft’s current strategy for getting people to use Bing: fake a Google homepage to trap users who are trying to leave, AND offer a million dollars in a sweepstakes.
That’s the grand plan, act like browser hijacker and wave a bribe.

Ah, yes, the thrilling tale of Microsoft's IPO from the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Windows 1.0 was cutting-edge tech. 📈🦖 The author nobly attempts to connect this ancient event to the modern tech landscape, as if reminiscing about how fire was invented. 🔥💾 Truly a groundbreaking revelation from the depths of the Silicon Underground! 🙄

@thurrott After all, it's not wise to jump out of a perfectly working airplane 😂 I use #Windows10 at work, but some of the computers are starting to get the upgrade to #Windows1. To be honest though, I don't see any night and day benefits. Its not like a going from FAT32 to NTFS, or a true 32 bit operating system with memory management, pre-emptive multi-tasking.

Here you can find everything there is to know about the first version of Windows.
And they truly mean everything. This is an exceptional amount of information about Windows 1.0.

Success!
Windows 1.01 now running perfectly on my toy DOS 3.3 machine. I initially set it up as an IBM AT (5170), but although DOS ran cromulently with exactly 640K RAM, our combined household resources and the indispensable "ATAD_207" disk could not configure expansion memory. May need hardware. So I switched the VM up to an AMI 80286 to get a better BIOS interface.
And that's it, done with Windows 1.01. Might try v1.04 sometime; but next victim is Windows 2.x ...

The Windows 1 BYTE build is the 1st EVER known build of Windows. It was shown in December 1983’s BYTE Magazine, after Microsoft announced Windows that November.
