Is your Google button broken?
Or use Wikipedia, they have some good info, just search "Windows" on Wikipedia and they have a load of articles about all of the development stages, from Windows 1.00 to Windows Vista

If you find a copy of Windows 1.0, keep it.  It might be worth something on the Antiques Road Show some day!

Amiga Workbench was available the same year as Windows 1 (1985) but was blatantly superior. I mean, you can't even overlap windows in Windows 1!

Yeah, and the Apple GUI was far ahead of Windows' GUI for several years.  Apple really dropped the ball in the early years of their competition with MS.
