who invented windows os and ms-offoce?

Answer 1

Windows OS are popular because of its GUI - Grafical User Interface, instead of DOS based commands.

The precursor to GUIs was invented by researchers at the Stanford Research Institute, led by Doug Engelbart. They developed the use of text-based hyperlinks manipulated with a mouse for the On-Line System. The concept of hyperlinks was further refined and extended to graphics by researchers at Xerox PARC, who went beyond text-based hyperlinks and used GUIs as the primary interface for the Xerox Alto computer. Most modern general-purpose GUIs are derived from this system. As a result, some people call this class of interface a PARC User Interface (PUI).

Microsoft Office is a suite of productivity programs created or purchased by Microsoft and developed for Microsoft Windows, and Apple Computer's Mac OS and Mac OS X operating systems. Office made its first appearance in 1989 on the Macintosh, with a version for Windows following it in 1990. It was initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications that were previously marketed and sold separately. The main selling point was that buying the bundle was substantially cheaper than buying each of the individual applications on their own.

Answer 2

Who Invented Microsoft Windows

Answer 3

Bill Gates was the person who invented the Windows Operating System and the first to issue an idea of a Computer Office which is MS Office. If it weren't for him, we would still be typing in commands. Mr. Gates, used to have a partner way before the first version of Windows was launched. Although both men saw different approaches. Mr. Gates wanted everything to be done in a click that's why he came up with the name Windows (a new way of seeing the world) the other stayed with typing in commands (Linux). Since Mr. Gates went solo, he invented the first version of Windows and back then Macintosh was slagging behind trying to catch up. Back then Macintosh Operating System was too slow, but Windows Operating Systems were very fast.

Answer 4

Who Invented Windows

Answer 5

The Windows OS and MS Office was developed by Microsoft, no doubt about it. There was no one who 'INVENTED' them. But, we know that the first operating system was DOS, which was not developed by Microsoft. DOS was bought over by Microsoft. Later, the first GUI-based Operating System was created by Apple Computers, who called it the MAC OS. Microsoft soon launched Windows 1.0, but there were many copyright laws against it, as Apple complained of MS, copying its various features like Maximise and Minimise windows, the Recycle Bin, The taskbar, etc. The original source of a Office Suite was not Microsoft. Calc, a spreadsheet program was developed by a company for Windows, which gave Windows the lead over Mac.

Answer 6

Windows are an integral part of our modern computer system, made famous by Microsoft so-named program. In actuality, windows for computer systems were invented by Douglas Engelbart, in the 60s, at Stanford Research Institute. It was put into development in the 70s by the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, and Apple Macintosh computers were the first operating system to use it commercially. A window is a rectangle on a divided video monitor screen, allowing the user to view different programs at once. This improves the computer's usability, allowing inexperienced users an easier route to using personal computers.
Window systems as we know them were invented by Xerox, at their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Nearby SRI researcher Doug Englebart invented the mouse as we know it.

When Apple Computer was foundering after the first onslaught of the IBM PC (which even with its crippled processor was faster than the Apple and MS-DOS, their leaders visited Xerox PARC and saw window systems. They hired some of the talent away, and put out the Apple Lisa . Lisa was a flop, but she paved the way for (or even mutated into) the Apple Macintosh.

Bill Gates, who even then wanted to dominate the world, saw the Xerox Alto and decided he had to have one, too. He got his best geeks to fake up a prototype, showed it at Comdex, and the press boys all wowed it. Then they actually wrote it and, after 3.1 tries, got something that barely worked :-) The rest is history.

MS office is also developed first by Microsoft team.To know more about it look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office

Answer 7

The first graphical user interface was developed at the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) in the 1970s for the Xerox Alto computer. Steve Jobs visited there when the interface was under development and saw it as the future of computing, incorporating it into the Apple Lisa’s software platform which eventually led to the Macintosh.

At a time when Microsoft and their MS-DOS operating system were struggling for innovation, Apple approached them to develop software for the Macintosh. This gave Microsoft a market for some of their product, and also gained them invaluable experience with GUI-based operating systems. Before long, they’d developed their own called Microsoft Windows, which shared the same elements as the Mac’s operating system (windows, icons, menus, pointing device) but added a new one, the blue screen of death. :)

The Xerox team at Palo Alto were responsible for inventing just about everything that’s wonderful about today’s computing. They were the first to have wysiwyg screens (black on white); multiple windows; the icon-driven interface, and just about everything else.



I know, because I bought a Xerox wordprocessor in 1986 (having had a disaster with the first line of IBM Personal Computers). It was absolutely superb. It never went wrong; I told the salesman that if I had to learn anything about computers to work it he could take it back, and he was true to his word. It was totally intuitive, so if you wanted to do something that you hadn’t done before you just followed the principles you’d learned.



However - they couldn’t stand up to IBM (and they really didn’t know how to market it) and the story as I had it (close to the lion’s orifice) was that they sold the Windows technology to IBM and the drop-down icon technology to Apple, thereby starting a game of ’let’s you and him fight.’



They got seriously left behind when (i) they produced a version that would run on a Windows platform and it was riddled with mistakes - I bought my first laptop with GlobalView on it and it drove me bananas, and (ii) using facilities like e-mail became incredibly complex. But even now, stuck as we almost all are with Windows and Word, I feel as if I’m trading down.



There’s a book about it which sanitises the story somewhat but I've recommended it. But there's much more waiting to be turned into a Harvard case study or similar.

Answer 9

Someone invented a version of DOS. Bill Gates bought it of him cheap and said 'why give it away if it is worth money'. Now we are stuck with a heap of garbage for which we pay big money and Bill is the richest man in the world.

Answer 10

It is not a one man show. It was a team work and Microsoft team did the wonderfull job.
But credit goes to Bill Gates.Since he deserve to a cirtain extent.
