Back in the late 1970’s, two enterprising young computer programmers named Paul Allen and Bill Gates developed an adaptation for the BASIC computer language that would help run newly created personal computer just coming on the technology market. As with any technology, their original creation changed and grew.

The two friends decided they had the product and the capability to become successful, so they formed a company now known as Microsoft. Over the years, Microsoft has grown to a giant in the computer industry with successes never before seen by a ?from scratch? endeavor.

Microsoft was responsible for the development of not only several computer languages like COBOL and PASCAL, but also for the development of the earliest operating system MS-DOS. In partnership with IBM, who was just introducing the personal computer to the individual consumer, all of the IBM computers used MS-DOS on their systems. The year was 1981.

Even though originally, the Apple Corporation was in competition with Microsoft and IBM, the company eventually began working on developing an operating system for the company’s Macintosh personal computers.

Then, in 1985, an industry changing product was starting to evolve. This new operating system would perform many functions already in MS-DOS, but the difference would be that this new product would focus on "gooeys" Graphical User Interfaces.

The development of the GUI would change the world of computers making it easier for the everyday consumer to navigate their personal computer. The industry was changing – and it was changing fast!

Windows operating system made the world of personal computing accessible and easy for the everyday Joe. Now, even students in the schools were able to use personal computers for their school work and in class. No one knew just how far this new OS would take the world of computing technology.

Just like with any computer technology, changes are constantly being made to improve on the product. After the initial launch of Windows, several other versions evolved each one offering new options and new features and each with their own bugs and problems.

Some people weren’t big fans of Windows because at times it seemed as if Microsoft would release the product prior to fully testing it. It became famed for crashes and bugs that would cause the system to behave erratically, but Microsoft addressed each problem promptly and Windows continued to be THE operating system on the market.
