    Errm, you said it was Bill Gates' first OS. Considering that they bought it, and Paul Allen was responsible for most of the integration, Gates actually had very little to do with it.

    It was actually his second if you count that ticker tape OS that ran that machine of dots. He owned the company that is all that matters.

      3.0 in 1990 3.1 in 1992 NT in 1993* 95 in 1995 NT4 in 1996 98 in 1998 2000 in 2000 *) beginning of the 32-bit era, with FreeCell available on Windows 3.1/win32s. Before that, I did not use Windows. The Amiga had a full multitasking Windowed-environment, and the OS fitted in a quarter of a megabyte. Imagine running Windows from memory.

        That's pretty obvious since I'm still chatting with you. Everybody else quite playing?

          If you know what you are doing in Windows 8, you can do things that you didn't even know where possible, so go to Microsoft Virtual Academy and learn about Windows 8, instead of talking out your ass.
