1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,080
now this may come as a surprise to some of our younger viewers out there but

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,160
there was a time when operating systems and graphical user interfaces you know

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:15,719
like Mouse pointers didn't exactly go together leaving computer enthusiasts

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:21,199
with only plain text and uh cat posters to stare at in their mom's basements The

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:24,519
Long Winter ended however in 1985 when

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:26,840
Microsoft delivered Windows 1.0 shining

7
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:31,840
in graphically generated light for the first time oh okay so they they actually

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,200
weren't the first to do that at all but we've got to give them credit where it's

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:41,039
due and while the first several Windows versions still basically ran over top of

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Ms Doss relying heavily on command line entries they also introduced many things

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:51,199
we take for granted today such as differing executable file formats device

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:55,199
drivers and multitasking that's right for the first time people could play

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,199
mind sweeper and soliter simultaneously the next big developments

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:05,040
came with the smash hit release of Windows 9 5 arguably the most prolific

15
00:01:02,519 --> 00:01:09,439
OS to date with sales reaching 40 million copies that year many of which

16
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:14,640
are still running on elderly people's computers worldwide Windows 95 was the

17
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:19,200
first OS capable of running 32-bit applications it introduced plug andplay

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Hardware commonly called plugin prey at the time and preemptive multitasking and

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:30,040
os's ability to pause and resume program operations users were also treated to a

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,479
groundbreaking new way of launching programs and ironically powering down

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,880
the computer this start menu from then until Microsoft stopped supporting

22
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:44,840
Windows 95 and launched Windows XP in the year 2001 we had witnessed much

23
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:50,399
advancement multim Monitor and Universal serial bus or USB support with Windows

24
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:54,200
98 the first non-server OS based on the

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,799
NT kernel in Windows 2000 and that very

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,840
unhelpful but friendly little paperclip but XP is the next proper stop on our

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:08,000
tour because of this Milestone it was the first consumer oriented Windows OS

28
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:13,640
to break free from doss's strangle hold in favor of an NT kernel although many

29
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,840
remnants of the hey Doss days remained and in fact still exist like the command

30
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:23,120
prompt or the tily menus used to enter god mode anyway this combined with its

31
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:28,560
robust features like a restyled double wide start menu uh searching by document

32
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:35,120
types not just name easier networking and file sharing and even an auto play

33
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,920
all eventually led to 400 million copies

34
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,040
being distributed with extended support continued up until last year this

35
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,440
success did not come without a price though literally and Microsoft shocked

36
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,519
many by announcing that while Internet Explorer and space cadet pinball were

37
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:55,480
bundled for free office would no longer be included and would have to be

38
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:01,599
purchased separately at a steep premium a trend that continues today eventually

39
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:06,560
demand for a six 64-bit operating system capable of breaking through the 4 GB

40
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:12,879
system memory limit imposed by 32-bit processors and os's led to the release

41
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:16,200
of Vista in 2007 whose reception was

42
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:18,959
less than lukewarm with directx10 ending

43
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:23,560
up not being relevant for quite some time and controversy over things like

44
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,040
the unavailability of Hardware drivers and its very high system requirements

45
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,239
for the time Microsoft hurriedly released Windows 7 just two years though

46
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,920
which while sharing much of the same code base ended up looking and

47
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,799
Performing better than its predecessor thanks to Windows 7's critical Acclaim

48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:47,120
it got a longer shelf life but the same can't be said of Windows 8 and its free

49
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:49,040
incremental .1 Improvement they did

50
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,760
deliver better performance monitoring faster boot up and sleep and wake times

51
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:59,400
improved networking performance and the Microsoft Store for apps but they

52
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,360
replaced the Beloved start menu with the large brightly colored tiled start

53
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:10,439
screen meant to blend The Experience between Windows desktop and Windows

54
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:14,360
mobile devices a halfway measure that

55
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:16,400
ended up not pleasing anyone but that

56
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:22,040
doesn't mean they don't learn good old Microsoft which brings us to the present

57
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:23,759
day Windows 10 while it may be too soon

58
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,720
yet to determine what we'll remember about Windows 10 in 10 years there are

59
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:34,600
some solid additions like Cortana for voice control the new and improved start

60
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,880
menu and a new way of handling upgrades

61
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,520
with Microsoft offering Windows 7 and eight owners a free Windows 10 license

62
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:46,600
within the first year as long as they're willing to Wade through the appropriate

63
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,360
menu options to preserve their privacy
