There is no denying that Microsoft windows have revalorized the way of computing. With the growing interest of people in graphical interface, Microsoft introduced window 1.0 in November 1985. It was more of extensions of MS_DOS, where you do not have to type command instead move the mouse curser. It lacked the functionality, so Microsoft released the window 2.0 in 1987. But the major breakthrough was Microsoft Window 95, launched in August 1995. This version of window had networking support and was the first to have plug and play capability. This version also offered the multimedia capabilities. Within a year of its launched, it became a hugely successful and popular OS in world. Another Microsoft product that highly impacted the business world was window NT. Window NT was 32 bit operating system which was built to meet the high-end business requirement. Other features like processor independency, hardware and software popularity and multi-user environment made it stand apart from other OSes present in the market at that time.
Latter in 1998, Microsoft released Window 98 which was consumer specific. The quick Launch bar that we have today in Window was first introduced in Win98. Other improvement included support for USB devices and DVD and it is the last OS based in MS-DOS. After that Microsoft came up with enhanced and redesigned version of Window which includes Window ME, XP, Vista and 7. Now with the launch of Window 8 Developers preview, Microsoft seems to be ready to take the tablet market also.
