Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, I am now less than a week away from having a teenager in my house, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. In today’s episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday I’m pleased to bring you another installment of the Friday Forum.
Today’s Fun Fact: On November 20, 1985, Microsoft Windows version 1.0 was released. The system requirements for Windows 1 were a monochrome or color monitor, MS-DOS 2.0, 256 KB of memory or greater, and two double-sided disk drives or a hard drive. It included the programs Calculator, Calendar, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Notepad, Paint, Reversi, Cardfile, Terminal and Write. Despite positive responses to its early presentations and support from a number of hardware and software makers, Windows 1.0 was received poorly by critics, who felt it did not meet their expectations. In particular, they felt that Windows 1.0 put too much emphasis on mouse input at a time when mouse use was not yet widespread; not providing enough resources for new users; and for suffering from performance issues, especially on systems with lower hardware specifications. Despite this criticism, Windows 1.0 proved to be an important milestone for Microsoft, and in computer history in general. Windows 1.0 was succeeded by Window 2.0 in 1987 and officially declared obsolete and unsupported by Microsoft on December 31, 2001.
