A short history of operating system interface designs since 1981. But what does it say about an operating system – Windows 1.0 in this case – when the only thing that can be said for it was that it had an interesting animated analog clock?
In this year Microsoft finally caught up with the whole graphical user interface craze and released Windows 1.0, its first GUI based operating system (although no one would dare to refer to it as one). The system featured 32×32 pixel icons and color graphics. The most interesting feature (which later was omitted) was the icon of the animated analog clock.
