    This is where it all started for Windows. The original Windows 1 was released in November 1985 and was Microsoft's first true attempt at a graphical user interface in 16-bit. Development was spearheaded by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and ran on top of MS-DOS, which relied on command-line input.

    with a modern desktop and icons....oh yes they were....you obviously don't know much about computers then..

    What came first Apple or PC?
    Microsoft came first, founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico on April 4, 1975. Apple followed nearly exactly a year later on April 1, 1976 in Cupertino, California.

    compare their OS vs apples back then///then compare now

    Thanks for proving my point. MS was first. Don't forget commodore or tandy either.

    Anyhoo...that's not what's being discussed. Apple got caught ripping off technology from another company and again, is throwing a tantrum. FACT!

    The interesting thing, though, is Apple was technically the first company out of the two to release an operating system that used a graphical user interface (GUI). On January 24, 1984, the guys behind Apple released “ Mac System Software 1.0” on their original Macintosh commercial computer.Dec. 6, 2011
