MacOS (not that it was then branded as such) - 1984. Windows 1.0 - 1985. So not quite years really.


Windows 1.0 was just a fancy dosshell. Windows 3.0 should count as 1.0 in this case I think :)


Frankly I think you could make an argument even Win3 wasn't all that much to write home about....

(I confess to still mild incredulity that MacOS beat AmigaOS so thoroughly in the market, being both more expensive and substantially less powerful in both hardware and software. If Commodore had done their jobs properly, we'd be saying Steve Who?)


january 1984 vs november 1985... you going to get pissy about 3 months?

My point is still valid.
