Windows Cinema
Windows Cinema, the predecessor to Windows 1.0, was the first Windows operating system developed by Microsoft. Invented in the 1910s, it was created by Bill Gates's British father, Winston Popeye Gates. It incorporated the latest interface technologies of its day such as the typewriter and ballpoint pen - far outpacing contemporary rivals like Apple who only had an ink pen compatible. 70 years later, this technology would be incorporated into the PC once Winston died.
Later Windows Cinema[edit]
The "Cinema" part in Windows Cinema is actually for two parts. Firstly, Cine for Cameras. Then, the Ma, Chinese for Screen. This means that Windows Cinema is technically "Windows Camera Screen". As stated above, the technology of Windows Cinema was not exposed fully until 1972, being forgotten by most but remembered by few, since this took place during the Cold War. It took over 10 years until "those few" programmed Windows 1.0, and another 10 to make it usable again. As such, the Windows operating system gained plenty of market share in the 90s with lasting effects that remain today. Comparing Windows Cinema to Windows versions of the 80s and 90s, it is clearly seen that the programmers of the Windows versions had mostly forgotten the specifications of Windows Cinema, rendering it a semi-obsolete resource and starting fresh and basic with a plain basic interface with solid colours. No other operating system looked as graphically advanced as Windows Cinema's user interface except for those of all systems after Windows 2000.
Features[edit]
Cinema Ink was used for word processing and Steam Explorer was a primitive internet browser that ran with steam. In addition, the OS included a few games, such as Solitaire, Minesweeper, and, can you believe it, Reversi. The following list includes more minor features:
- Cinema Write - word processing
- Spreadsheet Creator - creates Spreadsheets
- CinemaPoint - creates PowerPoint presentations
Receding Popularity[edit]
Windows Cinema's popularity ended as Personal Computers became more popular. Soon enough, Bill himself realised the way to go, was having Windows in a PC, so he made Windows 1.0 in 1985.
Theories[edit]
A question remains of why this Windows version is barely remembered anymore. According some, the technology designed to make Windows Cinema was too ahead of it's time for the 1910s.
