Windows 1.0 was the first release of what eventually made it onto almost every desktop computer in the entire world. Many of you are probably unaware of this release from 1985; conceived from ideas found in the original Lisa/Macintosh and Xerox Star system, Windows 1.0 was Microsoft's attempt at a graphical multitasking operating environment for the IBM PC.
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.

Release notes
Windows 1.01 was the first release made available on store shelves. It was also bundled as a graphical run-time with several applications.
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.
