Windows 1.1
Release date:    1985
Media size:    Five 360 KB 5.25 inch floppy disks
Installed size:    Less than 1 MByte
Usability:    Small: no icons for executable programs, no program groups, no real multitasking, but better than MS-DOS only

    [Image: windows-1.01-1.png]Start of the Microsoft Windows 1.01 setup program, running on a MS-DOS 5.0 operating system. The most modern graphic card was a EGA (Enhanced graphic adapter) with more than 64 KByte RAM, capable to display 16 colours on a 640*350 pixel resolution.
