00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.080
now this may come as a surprise to some of our younger viewers out there but

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:11.160
there was a time when operating systems and graphical user interfaces you know

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:15.719
like Mouse pointers didn't exactly go together leaving computer enthusiasts

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

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:24.519
Long Winter ended however in 1985 when

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.840
Microsoft delivered Windows 1.0 shining

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:31.840
in graphically generated light for the first time oh okay so they they actually

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

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:41.039
due and while the first several Windows versions still basically ran over top of

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.760
Ms Doss relying heavily on command line entries they also introduced many things

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:51.199
we take for granted today such as differing executable file formats device

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:55.199
drivers and multitasking that's right for the first time people could play

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:59.199
mind sweeper and soliter simultaneously the next big developments

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:05.040
came with the smash hit release of Windows 9 5 arguably the most prolific

00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:09.439
OS to date with sales reaching 40 million copies that year many of which

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:14.640
are still running on elderly people's computers worldwide Windows 95 was the

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:19.200
first OS capable of running 32-bit applications it introduced plug andplay

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:25.479
Hardware commonly called plugin prey at the time and preemptive multitasking and

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:30.040
os's ability to pause and resume program operations users were also treated to a

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.479
groundbreaking new way of launching programs and ironically powering down

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.880
the computer this start menu from then until Microsoft stopped supporting

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:44.840
Windows 95 and launched Windows XP in the year 2001 we had witnessed much

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:50.399
advancement multim Monitor and Universal serial bus or USB support with Windows

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:54.200
98 the first non-server OS based on the

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.799
NT kernel in Windows 2000 and that very

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:01.840
unhelpful but friendly little paperclip but XP is the next proper stop on our

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:08.000
tour because of this Milestone it was the first consumer oriented Windows OS

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:13.640
to break free from doss's strangle hold in favor of an NT kernel although many

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.840
remnants of the hey Doss days remained and in fact still exist like the command

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:23.120
prompt or the tily menus used to enter god mode anyway this combined with its

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:28.560
robust features like a restyled double wide start menu uh searching by document

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:35.120
types not just name easier networking and file sharing and even an auto play

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:36.920
all eventually led to 400 million copies

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.040
being distributed with extended support continued up until last year this

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.440
success did not come without a price though literally and Microsoft shocked

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:51.519
many by announcing that while Internet Explorer and space cadet pinball were

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:55.480
bundled for free office would no longer be included and would have to be

00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:01.599
purchased separately at a steep premium a trend that continues today eventually

00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:06.560
demand for a six 64-bit operating system capable of breaking through the 4 GB

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:12.879
system memory limit imposed by 32-bit processors and os's led to the release

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:16.200
of Vista in 2007 whose reception was

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.959
less than lukewarm with directx10 ending

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:23.560
up not being relevant for quite some time and controversy over things like

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:28.040
the unavailability of Hardware drivers and its very high system requirements

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:32.239
for the time Microsoft hurriedly released Windows 7 just two years though

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.920
which while sharing much of the same code base ended up looking and

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.799
Performing better than its predecessor thanks to Windows 7's critical Acclaim

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

00:03:43.959 --> 00:03:49.040
incremental .1 Improvement they did

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.760
deliver better performance monitoring faster boot up and sleep and wake times

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:59.400
improved networking performance and the Microsoft Store for apps but they

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:04.360
replaced the Beloved start menu with the large brightly colored tiled start

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:10.439
screen meant to blend The Experience between Windows desktop and Windows

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:14.360
mobile devices a halfway measure that

00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:16.400
ended up not pleasing anyone but that

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:22.040
doesn't mean they don't learn good old Microsoft which brings us to the present

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:23.759
day Windows 10 while it may be too soon

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:28.720
yet to determine what we'll remember about Windows 10 in 10 years there are

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:34.600
some solid additions like Cortana for voice control the new and improved start

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:36.880
menu and a new way of handling upgrades

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.520
with Microsoft offering Windows 7 and eight owners a free Windows 10 license

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:46.600
within the first year as long as they're willing to Wade through the appropriate

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.360
menu options to preserve their privacy

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.360
