Evolution of Microsoft windows: 1985 - 2009

It all began in Plaza Hotel, New York City on the 10th of November 1983.. Two Microsoft founders Paul Allen and Bill Gates officially announced their corporation’s first and next-generation graphical user interface operating system â€" Microsoft Windows. Despite the criticism on stability and constantly being compared to their rivals Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows is still the most widely used operating systems in the world. Windows 1.01 (1985) Officially released on November 20, 1985, this 16-bit OS that cost less than 1MB in overall is Microsoft’s very first operating system that allows multi tasking with graphical user interface on PC platform that runs on MS-DOS 5.0. Windows 1..03 (1986) Introduced in 1986, Windows 1.03 is an upgrade to its previous predecessor Windows 1.01. Entire operating system cost about 2.2Mb hard disk space. Windows 2.03 (1987) Taking advantage of the speed of Intel 286/386 processor at that time, Windows 2.03 is a replacement for Windows 1.x. It also starts the era where users are able to overlap windows, customize screens, etc. Still the entire operating system cost no more than 2.5Mb. Windows 2.86 (1989) Windows 3.0 (1990) This is the third major released of Microsoft Windows with a improved set of Windows icons and applications like File Manager, Program Manager that is still being used in today’s Windows. This 22 May 1990 released operating system is then replaced by Windows 3.1 two years later. Windows 3.1 (1992) Windows 3.1 is probably the earliest Windows most of us are familiar with. Windows 3.1 and later Windows 3.1x is an upgrade to Windows 3.0 with bug fixes and multimedia support. Windows NT 3.1 (1993) The first Windows New Technology (NT) introduced. It maintains consistency with the Windows 3..1, a well-established home and business operating system at the time, the new Windows NT operating system began with version 3.1. Unlike Windows 3.1, however, Windows NT 3.1 was a 32-bit operating system. Windows 3.11 (1993) A superset of Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 added peer-to-peer workgroup and domain networking support. For the first time, Windowsâ€"based PCs were network-aware and became an integral part of the emerging client/server computing evolution â€" Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Workstation (1995) The Windows NT Workstation 3.5 release provided the highest degree of protection yet for critical business applications and data. With support for the OpenGL graphics standard, this operating system helped power high-end applications for software development, engineering, financial analysis, scientific, and business-critical tasks â€" Microsoft Windows 95 (1995) Previously code-named Chicago, Windows 95 is a successor to all the existing Windows operating system so far. It gives full graphical user interface support, integrated a 32-bit TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack for built-in Internet support, dial-up networking, and new Plug and Play capabilities that made it easy for users to install hardware and software. Windows NT 4.0 (1996) Windows NT Workstation 4.0 included the popular Windows 95 user interface yet provided improved networking support for easier and more secure access to the Internet and corporate intranets â€" Microsoft. Windows NT Server 4.0 (1996) Windows 98 (1998) Windows 98 was the upgrade from Windows 95. Described as an operating system that "Works Better, Plays Better," Windows 98 was the first version of Windows designed specifically for consumers â€" Microsoft. Windows 2000 (2000) More than just the upgrade to Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional was also designed to replace Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on all business desktops and laptops. Built on top of the proven Windows NT Workstation 4.0 code base, Windows 2000 added major improvements in reliability, ease of use, Internet compatibility, and support for mobile computing â€" Microsoft. Windows 2000 Server (2000) Windows ME (2000) Designed for home computer users, Windows Me offered consumers numerous music, video, and home networking enhancements and reliability improvements â€" Microsoft. Windows XP (2001) Windows XP Professional brings the solid foundation of Windows 2000 to the PC desktop, enhancing reliability, security, and performance. With a fresh visual design, Windows XP Professional includes features for business and advanced home computing, including remote desktop support, an encrypting file system, and system restore and advanced networking features â€" Microsoft. Windows Server 2003 (2003) Released on April 2003, and also known as Win2k3, this operating system is a sucessor to it’s predecessor Windows Server 2000 (Win2k). Windows Vista (2006) Came more than 5 years after it’s predecessor Windows XP, Vista is the longest timeline break for Microsoft between two operating system. Windows 7 (2009) Codenamed Blackcomb, Windows 7 is one of the most anticipated operating system which should be available somewhere in Oct 2009.

The Error ''0x80070035 network path not found'' is one that i constantly received whilst trying to network my laptop with my friend laptop. I SOLVED IT EASILY THOUGH

Before i proceed; note the following points:
1. I am running Vista
2. I have connected friend laptop using adhoc network
3. The laptops are already connected wirelessly and can access the internet etc
4. I have set up the my laptop as my host pc which stores all the info i want to access
The observations where as follows:
1. The host pc is picked up on the laptop
2. When selected it produced the following error: 0x80070035 network path not found
3. I tried various options such as ticking the TCP/IP and enabling all the possible options available under network connections properties.
4. This still produced the error although the host computer is pinged
The solution was simple:
I was running Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
Under firewall settings; disable personal firewall.
Once this is done, access is allowed to the host pc.
You can then set your permissions, create network paths and map network drives like you would normally do.

Enable Folder options…

A few days back, a client came to me and told me that he was having trouble with his Windows XP. The show hidden files and folders were not working at all. If he selected the radio button "Show hidden files and folders", and then press Ok... The changes would just disappear upon opening the dialog again. It was probably some virus attack after which the Windows registry was not being updated properly. So here is what I did to restore it back. There are so many methods to restore back the registry. If one method is not working, please try another one.

Method 1:

Go to registry editor by running "regedit" in the run box.

Go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In the right hand area, double click hidden and change the value to 1.

Now you're all set to go. Check it in your tools menu if the changes have taken effect.

 

Method 2:

1. Click "Start" -> "Run…" (or press Windows key + R)

2. Type "regedit" and click "Ok".

3. Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

4. Look at the "CheckedValue" key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn't, delete the key.

5. Create a new key called "CheckedValue" as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.

6. The "Show hidden files & folders" check box should now work normally. Enjoy!
