What did the old operating systems look like?
Enjoy this short visual tour through their user interfaces.
When operating systems began to use a graphical interface, computing became more democratic and took a giant leap forward. In this post, I want to remember some of the most iconic operating systems along with their interfaces. What yesterday seemed to us the most modern in the world today seems us old and outdated, but I at least remember it with great affection.
As an anecdote, point out that I find it funny to remember the demanding hardware requirements that Windows 7 needed and see how today my mobile phone could run it without a fuss.
MS-DOS (1981)
MS-DOS stands for Microsoft Disk Operating System and dates back to the time when IBM PCs only had the DOS (Disk Operating System) family of operating systems. This family is made up of many versions, but the best known are Apple DOS, PC-DOS, FreeDOS, and, finally, MS-DOS, which is the best-known version because it used to be included with IBM PC compatible computers.
