Windows 1.0/Development Release 1

Development Release #1 is an early pre-release build of Windows 1.0, compiled sometime in late May 1984. Only the Tandy 2000 variant of this build is currently known to exist, however, a PC-compatible variant would've been shipped as well.

Overview
The Tandy 2000 was an Intel 80186-based computer. Since the 80186 processor was not fully compatible with the IBM PC and compatibles, this created compatibility issues dividing it from other machines of the time. The Tandy 2000 variant of this build was specifically designed for the Tandy 2000 personal computer, including the Intel 80186 processor and also the high resolution graphics (640x400 screen resolution at 16 colors) used by the machine itself.

This build was launched from a file called  and was intended to be ran from a single 5,25" floppy disk. This loaded a copy of Windows with several sample applications which could easily be loaded from there.

This build uses the  extension for applications, predating the NE executable format.
