Just found this beauty: Windows 1.0 ran from 1985 until 2001!

"Windows 1.0 was released on November 20, 1985"

"On December 31, 2001, Windows 1.0 was declared obsolete and Microsoft
stopped providing support and updates for the system."


I did not use Windows 1, but I did use an Apple IIe for years. The Apple
II series was sold for 17 years, which is rather amazing. Even the IIe
version, with just minor changes, sold for 11 years. Then they had an
Apple IIe on a card made for Macs (I had one of those in a lab I ran).

The Apple IIgs was also backward compatible with it -- I used to own one
of the Woz signed ones. I loaned it out and it was stolen -- which
really irked me. Oh well.
