The earliest known appearance of 'Microsoft Windows' was in a 1983 Byte Magazine, and it was heavily promoted at the Fall 1983 Comdex. It was marketed as a response to GUI environments such as Digital Research GSX, VisiCorp Visi On, and Apple Macintosh, although the first completed release was not until late 1985.

Installation instructions

Installation notes:

• The installer expects you to run it from the A: drive. Either write the images to disks or SUBST from a hard drive folder.
• Windows 1.x will run on DOS 5 and later as long as SETVER is loaded and there is a SETVER entry for 'WIN100.BIN' to report '3.34'. Otherwise it will crash at startup.
• COMMAND.COM will only run in a window in DOS 3.3 and earlier.
• 1.x does not support PS/2 mice. However if you overwrite MOUSE.DRV with the Windows 2.03 version, and install Windows with the serial mouse option, then they will work.
