In a few months now, Windows 10 has become the most used desktop operating system worldwide. Initially, back in the summer of 2015, Microsoft thought that this would happen much more quickly, but something got in the way of the operating system.
And it is that at this point we could say that the software giant, Microsoft , under no circumstances was going to imagine that the biggest impediment to Windows 10 was going to be at home. Of course, we mean his little brother, Windows 7 . In fact, we are in full 2020 and it is now, a few months ago, when the most recent version of the operating system has managed to prevail over the previous one. And that the Redmond tried by all means, somehow to discredit the old version, without much success.
That is something similar to what once happened with another version that could be considered as among the most beloved in the entire history of Windows, we are talking about XP . Well, despite that leadership recently achieved by Windows 10, there are still hundreds of millions of users who continue to use versions such as the aforementioned Windows 7 and XP.
The Windows desktop, an element that has not stopped evolving
But in these same lines we want to focus, not on the latest versions of the operating system, but on Windows in general. In fact we want to talk about one of the elements that over the years has become characteristic of Windows, we refer to your desktop .
This is where we are just entering our credentials to access the operating system. We could say that the desktop becomes our personal control center from which we organize access to the rest of the functions and applications of the operating system itself. Today, as most of you may already know, we have a huge number of actions and functions in Windows, some of which we locate here. Likewise, in it we have some interesting customization functions to work more productively.
But this has not always been the case, since this is an important element of Windows that, due to its enormous importance, has not stopped growing and improving. However, if we had the opportunity to take a look at the desktop of the first Windows, we would be quite surprised.
Take a look at the evolution of the Windows desktop from its beginnings
In fact, now we can tell you that you are going to have that opportunity to see the evolution first hand. All this you will achieve thanks to a curious video published on YouTube where an interesting montage has been carried out in this regard. So we will start a journey from the old MS-DOS , going through all the versions of Windows to see the evolution of its main interface.
In this way, how could it be otherwise, the journey ends in the current and advanced desktops of the Windows 10 versions . Without a doubt, all this will help us to check, in a totally visual way, how this section of the operating system has improved over the years.
