Google Groups archive (which used to belong to DejaNews) has messages back
to (at least) May 1981 when there were already quite a wide variety of
groups on Usenet.
Byte magazine had an article on the 'upcoming' Windows 1.0 in December 1983.
I *believe* Windows 1.0 was in 1985.
Point'n'drool interfaces took a while to take off - and there was a thriving
community well before that.
The higher intellectual cost-of-entry acted as a useful limit to who managed
to get on there.
No offence ;-)

3.1 was the first 'useful' version. Although the command line still has it's
uses. I was writing a commercial Windows App just the other day that uses it
'under the hood' as there are still things Windows is just no good at.

IME the users were people who had access at work,
and had nothing better to do whilst at work.
Though there was probably a group of people who had
access at college, and nothing better to do whilst at
college.

Windows 1.0 was launched in November 1985. It was a pile of poo, a

Well, it didn't really resemble anything comparable to Windows we know
today. 3.1 however, does.

Where did this gem of 'knowledge' come from?
Mac hardware is no more expensive than any other quality computer
hardware. My MacBook was stupidly cheap when compared with a lot of the
WinTel machines out there. The OS is actually *cheaper* than Windows if
you want the same functionality.
So, in conclusion, you're talking shite.
