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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_1.0

"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."

Those who used it regarded Windows 1.0 as obsolete almost from the
beginning.

I never even heard of it and wondered why Windows 2 was the first one. When I looked up that query, I found there was a windows 1.

But it's very odd they supported it until 2001, by which times we'd had Windows 2, 3, 95, 98, NT 4 (and 1, 2, 3?) 2000.

Another oddity, what was Windows ME for? Once 2000 was out, we had an NT based OS which also played games. ME was pointless.
