As Philip said in the ''[[Windows 8 (2012)|Windows 8]]''[[Windows 8 (2012)| video]] "Since you said that Windows 8 is like the first one ever, you're going to try the first -ever version of Windows, Windows 1.0.".
 
==OS Info==
'''Microsoft Windows 1.0''' is aan ''MS-DOS-''reliant GUI ('''''G'''raphical '''U'''ser '''I'''nterface''), which its first version, 1.01, was released in the US on '''November 25th 1985'''.
 
The GUI being run within MS-DOS is how the program shell got its name ''MS-DOS Executive''. However, this was not the first GUI used for DOS, although it touted to be the most innovative and complex. Bill Gates was inspired to develop this operating system by ''Visi-On'', a DOS GUI. This operating system was advertised as ''Power Windows''.

==Conclusion==
 
At the end of the video, Diana retracted her comment on Windows 8 of her saying it looked like '"the first Windows ever'" in the previous video, although she did admit that 1.0 was easier to navigate and more logical, even when doing things by accident. When asked if she would use Windows 1.0 with modern programs, Diana still preferred Windows 8 over it. When asked what the time was, Diana believed that the clock should be in the bottom right-hand corner as opposed to there being a giant clock filling the screen. She admitted that Windows 8 was an improvement over 1.0, but she still assured of Windows 8 being a failure, both in looks and ease of use. This time though, she intentionally compared Windows 8 to her (as-of-then current) operating system Windows XP, instead of a version older than it.
