It may seem a little strange to talk smack about the very first iteration of Windows, but the simple fact of the matter is that it took a good while for the OS to find its footing. Back in 1985, the big kid on the home computer block was Macintosh — nearly all home computer users owned Apple products thanks to its development of the first graphical interface. Microsoft, having made its fortune on MS-DOS, wanted a slice of the graphical pie, but their first attempt left something to be desired.
Windows 1 was missing several of the vital apps that would eventually make the operating system appealing, and its layout was a bit clunky and overly mechanical. You couldn’t even have open windows overlapping each other, which made everything look like a spreadsheet. Besides all that, it was generally underwhelming in the performance department and lacked compatibility with programs that Macintosh users had gotten used to.
