Come on, Windows 1 was a pathetic joke, not remotely comparable to the Macintosh OS of the time. Mac OS was quite good up until System 7 in the early 90s when Microsoft finally caught up with windows 3.1.
- ido 14y agoWas just about to say. Win 3.1 on a "multimedia PC" was finally good enough at around ~92, but few PC users left the comforts of DOS before that.
- wsc981 14y agoSystem 7.x was a work of art imo. The system was still small enough to 'understand'. Loved the old system folder layout (with folder for Preferences, Control Panels, Fonts, Extensions, etc...). Whenever the Mac had issues, the fix was generally to start-up without Extensions (by pressing the Shift key on start up) and clean-up the folder. Then add a few extensions at a time and keep restarting until the issue was found. Extensions were often things like drivers and other code that 'enhanced' the system.
