The Rise of Microsoft Windows Part 1 (1981-1985)
Microsoft Windows has attained near ubiquity in the computing world today, running on an estimated 3 out of every 4 computers. It decisively won the operating systems battle that raged across the 1980s and early 1990s, and has no significant competitors today, with its greatest rival on the desktop, Apple, having only a 16% market share.
Yet Windows did not win the operating system battle overnight, and its victory was far from assured. It struggled just to get its first release, and spent years facing formidable competition. Few people would have bet on Windows to eventually win, but that is just what eventually happened.
This series will (eventually) explore Windows rise to dominance, starting from its origins all the way to its last big gamble, Windows 8.
Update 2/28/2023 - the script for part 2 is largely complete (70%) and it is the next major video I will be working on once the current video I am editing (Fall of OS/2) is complete
