1. Both screenshots are of Windows 1.0.

2. Control Panel WAS in Windows 1.0.

EDIT: Also, 1987-1992? It should be 1987-1989.

EDIT2: 1982-1985: Introducing Windows 1.0?

Control Panel was first introduced in the Beta of Windows 1.00 in May 1985

also, "Windows 98 is the last version based on MS‑DOS."

wrong, ME was. I guess they don't acknowledge MS-DOS 8.0.

Boy, something so inaccurate by Microsoft about their own os! I wonder why...

Control Panel was in DR5 from October 1984





Maybe Microsoft doesn't keep copies of these old versions archived, as support has ended for them. Windows 1.01 was released almost 27 years ago, maybe they don't remember if it had Control Panel or not. As for Windows ME, Microsoft tried to sweep DOS under the rug, because it was almost 20 years old.

No, I think that the person who put that up just forgot, especially if they were newly employed at Microsoft, and either in the younger generation, or not as experienced with Microsoft products from beforehand.

But, I don't see a reason why they wouldn't research or ask someone about it.

This is probably the work of some intern from marketing or release engineering. MS has a lot of old people, so it is definitely not an indication of company culture.
