Looking Through Windows: A Look at the Evolution of Microsoft Windows While Microsoft Windows may not be the first operating system to have been invented, it is arguably the most popular one out there. It started very slowly in 1985 with its first release of Windows 1.0 and has grown immensely in functionality and usability since then.

Port 135 did not require authentication about a server it was communicating with. Therefore, the Blaster Worm
