History+of+Windows!

History of Windows! Windows started in November of 1983 and it sold for $100.00. On down through the 80s, Microsoft kept coming out with different versions. Windows 1.0 in 1985 and 2.0 in 1987 and they both sold for $100.00 as well.

Next, there was Windows 386 and 286 In 1990, Microsoft announced Windows 3.0, with the full version being sold for $149.95. They even had an upgrade version for $79.95. Version 3.1 came in April of 1992 and there were more than one million copies of it sold in the first two months of its release. In August of 1993, Windows NT 3.1 was released and there was record of over 25 million licensed users by the end of 1993.

There were a couple more years of Windows NT (3.5 and 3.51) and then finally in 1995, Windows 95 was featured and it sold more than one million copies in only four days.

Next, Microsoft released NT 4.0 and then a couple versions of CE until the grand feature of Windows 98 in June of 1998. The second edition (98 SE) then came out in May of 1999. Windows 2000 came in February of that year, closely followed by Windows ME (Millennium) in June of 2000.

Of course, next came Windows XP in October 2001 and by that time, Microsoft was ever so popular and just about everyone was using one version or another of Windows. Microsoft came out with the Windows Server 2003 in March 2003 and then Windows Vista in January 2007. And that was a big mistake even Microsoft have admitted that. Microsoft started working on yet another operating system, Windows 7, to replace the problem Vista and have launched it. Sadly we have to accept it is only a temporary fix for they are now concentrating on another Windows that will be as good as XP.
