  1. Windows 1.0, released on November 20, 1985, was the first major release of Microsoft's graphical operating system. It introduced a mouse-driven interface and ran on top of MS-DOS, requiring at least 256K of memory and MS-DOS version 2.0. Windows 1.0 did not support overlapping windows; instead, all windows were tiled. The first public version, Windows 1.01, was released shortly after and was compatible with various display types. This marked the beginning of the Windows operating system's evolution into the most popular desktop OS in the world.
