Week 2 blog

 I find it fascinating how Microsoft started and they have improved their product since they started in 1981. They started with an  operating system called MSdos for IBM new personal computers which was efficient for the time, but the average computer user wanted something more accessible. So Microsoft used an internal product called Microsoft Interface Manager to put a graphical face on dos. In 1985, They came out with first version of windows called Windows 1.01 which was pretty revolutionary with features that is loved until this day like drop down menu, scrollbar, icons, dialogue box and a mouse(people practice their mousing skills with the game called Riversi) . In 1987, Windows 2.03 arrived with better graphics and one year later Microsoft became and stayed the largest PC software maker. In the early 90's Microsoft sold millions of copies of Windows 3.01 and 3.1, they hit an all time in 1995 with Windows.95 and sold 7 million copies in the first five weeks. Windows.XP came out in 2001 which was fast stable  and tuned for the internet and media , this was a hit with consumers. Windows 7 came out and was good enough to convince most people to from XP, Windows8 came out in 2012 and replaced traditional desktop with tiles which attempted to bridge PC, Laptops and Smartphones. Today we have Windows 10 which takes users to the familiar desktop and start menu and it is free!. Windows is one of the most profitable product ever made with 1.6 billion users.
