"The Evolution of First Operating System"
Firstly I'd start of with a very simple question, what is an Operating System?
If you are using a computer, you really should, or can say you must know what is an Operating System about. Maybe you'd be more understand if I say it in this way, Windows 7 or Windows XP.
Yes! Windows 7 or Windows XP and so on example of an Operating System (OS). In fact, it is the most popular and most common OS used in the market. Do you know Windows OS was created by who? Under what company? Founded which year? How does it started and so on? Today let's us learn some history about history of Operating System.
Operating System is a system that needed to run in a computer to let user perform any tasks or run any applications. Can you expect how would it be look like if your computer doesn't have Windows 7, Windows XP or any Operating System? It would just be a black screen with lines of commands and codings.
It will some how look like this...
When computer was first invented in 1970's or 1980's, there is no Operating System exist yet.
Those days computer was just to help perform some simple and complex operation. Some used by military for war purpose. Those days computers was impossible to login facebook, chatting using msn, playing dota using GG, watch movies, listen songs, browse youtube and so on which we are doing everyday right now.
In year 1983, a person named Bill Gates spending all his efforts, times, and sweats, he successfully created an Operating System named as Microsoft Windows.
Of course it was a very successful invention and very soon it produce more later version of Windows such as Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and until now the latest version of Window 7.
There are actually a lot more versions of Windows which some are sub-version and trail versions perhaps... To look at the full list of history of Microsoft you can refer to this site http://www.computerhope.com/history/windows.htm
Since Microsoft Windows is created, every computer was running on Windows OS and the number of computer users increased tremendously. This makes the founder of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates become billionaire just within a short period of time.
Now Bill Gates is the richest man on earth and the most powerful man in the world. And his company Microsoft also known as the biggest company in the world.
Nowadays almost every houses owned a computer or laptop at least one, two or even more. I can roughly estimate more than 70% of the people in the world are using a computer or laptop in their daily life or at least know how to use a computer.
Microsoft Windows was the only OS available in the market for computer devices until Apple Mac Os and Linux Open Source OS came in recently.
In the next part I will take about the history of Apple Mac OS and it's strategy to compete with Microsoft Windows OS. Stay tune for more!
