When I studied once for Diploma in computer application, around in 1990, I got few subject as DOS (Disk operating system), Word-star, Lotus 123, Dbase, Foxbase, Clipper and Fox pro etc. Those days buying a computer for personal use was very expensive compare to date. Also, those system were most of them Black and White screen or Green letter screen, Color computer will be very much expensive than black and white.
At the same time, there were some applications exists for software such as languages and packages. Language was like BASIC (Business Arithmetic System Instruction Code), COBOL (Common business oriented language), C and C+ etc. and those were highly required at those stage for any reputed firm. There were recruitments were progress for foreign countries like USA, Singapore and UK. There were huge demand within nation too. Other than this software demand, there was another basic and dual tasking learning curve for LAN and WAN required, system as UNIX which had far better than DOS. UNIX for multi-user and multi-purpose at that time and Dos was for single task and for single user, in addition, there were package exist like Fox-base, Fox-pro, Dbase or Data base, Word-star, Lotus 123 even Powerbuilder and ORACLE low version to higher one etc.
In India all these language and package were commonly trained for student and professional. It was used for official and professional program purpose. These languages and packages were advanced day to day by so many companies project inventions, software demand increase due to various factors, so many professional programmer’s effort from day to night helps for advance technology that helped huge for end user. It created history by different software using these basic model, advanced with high level in few weeks, months to year. They produced different software and hardware for different fields, fields like Hospital / Medical, Tele-communication, Business offices, Airlines / Aviation, Research many centers, Hotel industries, Electric and Electronic fields, Government offices and many more fields to mention.
Once they made software and hardware, the senior and recruited staff were trained in a professional method which the old system change to a new one to avoid consuming time, reduce cost, save energy, reduced unnecessary manual manpower and many more. Initially it was little tough to implement and face lot of technical issues in most of the field due to lack of experience, lack of system’s knowledge and not suitable the new system to some fields etc. it was however rectified the system to match and perfect every field. Most of the field, the new computer system becomes successful widely…
How some of the systems were advanced: observing from Windows; Microsoft was one of the well known and resourceful software/hardware company which dealt much business in these field from many parts of the world wide country, they recruited fresher and experienced manpower to use for this field, they were translating their idea, innovation and effort to practical in most of the field, they even made friendly system so that a children to normal person also somewhat they can use some system.
How they came up: Once they launched MS Windows 3 in around 1990, it was not much familiar at that time, but however, few products from them were advanced and one of them was from Lotus 123 to MS Excel version for MS Windows 3, however, it was not much successful. Success story was not there much but they never give up further. Again, after few years, they introduced Windows NT operating systems, it was useful and observed by most of the users and become somewhat success too.
Once Again, their continuous efforts change their destiny by advancing and introducing Windows 95 which become very much success with friendly guidance also it was helpful for basis users to multi-media users. They tried as usual to advance it too by introducing Windows 98 which was not much success as expected in those days and stand again the old version at that point to prefer as it was almost equal options to Windows 95.
Y2K issues started during these times, where every professional was somewhat imbalance on their view of Y2K effect will affect on their success. However, they introduced one more updated operating systems called Windows XP which was launched in year 2000 and results fruitful benefit to almost all and it has ruled the desktop so far. It was even useful for like 2003 software released.
To advance these one, they again released Windows Vista in 2007 which were bought by so many people around the world but it was not successful like Windows XP. Windows Vista need extra capacity in the system and more useful for multi-media users than professional etc. creates failure.
So, considering their experience in the above all, Microsoft released recently Windows 7 and got feedback from more that it will be positive results.
How, it will be successful?
Connecting to internet is far better than present system with advanced option and speed
Mobile phone or Bluetooth camera recognized right away, easy to transfer from each other
It is because of fast and fast key response
Desktop has many options which can be standard and modified based on requirement.
Document searching option is highly useful as it will give very fast result from the Desktop itself
Option of running in Windows XP if it is failed to do so from Windows 7
Extra features with 7 which not in other system
Extra and free online space
Like touch screen too
Use and enjoy Microsoft 7.
