Windows 1.0 did not contain the maximazation and miniminazation arrows, it could only display it's windows in a tiled format,(one beside of another) they coulden't be minimised or moved over one another and there was no point and click user interface, navigation was done by keyboard arrows only, but Windows 1.0 did include the Iconise and zoom for easier navigation. Windows 1.0 Was a 16-bit operating system based only on the FAT File system, not compatle with the fucture successor Windows NT or NTFS which is only compatable Windows NT and Windows 2000 (excluding Windows Me) and all future NT based operating systems.
