Windows






Microsoft launched its first retail version of  Microsoft Windows on November 20, 1985, and in August, the company struck a deal with IBM to develop a separate operating system called  OS/2. Although the two companies successfully developed the first version of the new system, mounting creative differences caused the partnership to deteriorate.It ended in 1991, when Gates led Microsoft to develop a version of OS/2 independently from IBM.
