Microsoft History




In 1983, Microsoft announced it's development of the graphical user interface called Windows. It was an operating system that was shipped for IBM PC computers and there have been many versions of Windows in the past 20 plus years. Notable versions include Windows 95, 98, 2000, Xp, and Windows 7.
Microsoft had also worked with Apple Computer to develop several Desk Accessories and other minor pieces of software that were included with early Macintosh system software. As part of the related business negotiations, Microsoft had licensed certain aspects of the Macintosh user interface from Apple; in later litigation, a district court summarized these aspects as "screen displays".
