The Microsoft Windows operating system has had many versions over its history. Many people are familiar with Windows 3.1, which was released in 1992. While Windows 3.1 was Microsoft's first popular Windows operating system, it was not the first version of Windows that was ever sold. Windows 1.0, which was released in 1985, was basically an extension of the MS-DOS operating system. While Windows wasn't the first graphical user interface (GUI) designed for the PC, it was the most successful. Sold as Windows 1.01, this first Windows operating system was error-prone and had a clunky interface, using tiled windows and primitive graphics. As a consequence, Windows 1.0 was not a popular product, despite its low price.
